Re: [RBW] Back In The Riv Saddle With A '98 Custom Starck-Riv

Late reply, but I did manage to measure the bb drop t'other day: 76mm, so not quite 80mm, but deep. Paul Brodek Hillsdale, NJ USA On Monday, September 21, 2020 at 10:37:50 AM UTC-4, Andy Beichler wrote: > > I love that color. The bottom bracket looks low. Had Grant started to > use the 80mm

Paul, Love the color. I believe my 2001 All-Rounder is the same. Beautiful dark green, in the shade - but in the sun so much sparkle and star dust it practically glows. Love love love it. On Monday, October 5, 2020 at 3:09:05 PM UTC-5 Joel S wrote: > Looks very nice Paul. > > On Mon, Oct 5,

Thanks Paul, I never knew that. On Wed, Sep 30, 2020 at 9:35 PM Paul Brodek wrote: > Looks like Sachs carved the lugs for Bridgestone, which Grant couldn't get > them to use. Grant then used them on his first Riv frames. > > '93 fax from Grant to Richard re: lug progress @ BS: >

Thanks, Todd. I got the 40t Zephyr K ring today, pulled the drive-side crankarm off to install it, and when I tried to switch the rings realized what I actually needed was an Alize K ring, not a Zephry K. Alize is 130bcd, Zephyr is 110bcd. So not even close. So for all the stuff I wrote in

Re: [RBW] Back In The Riv Saddle With A '98 Custom Starck-Riv

Looks like Sachs carved the lugs for Bridgestone, which Grant couldn't get them to use. Grant then used them on his first Riv frames. '93 fax from Grant to Richard re: lug progress @ BS: https://www.richardsachs.com/a-fax-from-bridgestone/ Jan Heine blog mention, he also says there's more early

Beautiful bike, Paul. Looks very well thought out and I’m sure it rides as good as it looks. Enjoy! On Tuesday, September 29, 2020 at 2:27:43 PM UTC-7 Patrick Moore wrote: > Shoot, I thought Joe had thought that little thing up just for me. It's a > nice little oddity, but serves no purpose

Shoot, I thought Joe had thought that little thing up just for me. It's a nice little oddity, but serves no purpose that I can see. Speaking of oddities, I had Chauncey braze a wire "L" onto the right seatstay just below the bridge, made I think from an old spoke. This is a chain hook, tho' Joe

Re: [RBW] Back In The Riv Saddle With A '98 Custom Starck-Riv

Sachs did design the lugs for Rivendell. Don’t know about the Bridgestone part. On Mon, Sep 28, 2020 at 11:27 PM 'Eric Norris' via RBW Owners Bunch < rbw-owners-bunch@googlegroups.com> wrote: > Legend has it that Sachs designed lugs for Bridgestone that ended up being > used on the first Road

Legend has it that Sachs designed lugs for Bridgestone that ended up being used on the first Road Standards. Any truth to that? –Eric N > On Sep 28, 2020, at 7:14 PM, Paul Brodek wrote: > >  > That bb shell w/shelf-wing design isn't uncommon, fwiw, and the one on > Patrick's frame isn't

Re: [RBW] Back In The Riv Saddle With A '98 Custom Starck-Riv

That bb shell w/shelf-wing design isn't uncommon, fwiw, and the one on Patrick's frame isn't the same shell as the Richard Sachs bb. Richard has been designing his own lugs for a long time now, but I'm not very familiar with who his suppliers have been over the years. So I don't know who made

Re: [RBW] Back In The Riv Saddle With A '98 Custom Starck-Riv

Not saying they made the frame, just the lug. Laing On Monday, September 28, 2020 at 5:54:04 PM UTC-4 lconley wrote: > Pretty sure that is an "M" for Maxway. > I have that same feature on my Maxway single speed frame. I believe that > they made some frames for Rivendell at some point, located

Re: [RBW] Back In The Riv Saddle With A '98 Custom Starck-Riv

Pretty sure that is an "M" for Maxway. I have that same feature on my Maxway single speed frame. I believe that they made some frames for Rivendell at some point, located in Taiwan. Laing Delray Beach FL On Monday, September 28, 2020 at 5:48:06 PM UTC-4 campyo...@me.com wrote: > There’s a

Re: [RBW] Back In The Riv Saddle With A '98 Custom Starck-Riv

Thanks, all! I'm happy with how it turned out. I was in such a rush to put it together that I forgot to measure the bb drop and the standover height. The bb drop does look large/low, I figured without even measuring that if I tried 650b wheels I'd be scraping pedals pretty easily, since the

Re: [RBW] Back In The Riv Saddle With A '98 Custom Starck-Riv

I love that color. The bottom bracket looks low. Had Grant started to use the 80mm of drop then or is it just the angle of the picture? On Monday, September 21, 2020 at 10:11:47 AM UTC-4 Joel wrote: > Beautiful, enjoy. > > On Monday, September 21, 2020 at 12:56:34 AM UTC-4 Andrew Letton
