For sale. Three P-clamp sets. I'm not sure of the sizes but I think
it's one small, two medium. Also included are Canti brake mounts that
came with my Nitto highrider rack but I'll never use.
$15 shipped. Sorry, I don't have the hardwear w/ the P-clamps.

Value of these things is a matter of agreement between the buyer and seller,

I have ridden this downhill many times on the way into work over the last
couple months. My usual habit is to coast ~ 30mph on the hoods.
Then, reach to the barcon to downshift in preperation for the next climb.
Today, lotsa winds in this area. Gusty and fast.

What bike?
I've had bikes develop moderate shimmy at certain speeds; on the '03 Riv
just recently, as a matter of fact but it went away very quickly -- no idea
why it came or went. Ditto for the '95 Riv; again, after a week or so, it
went away. Both at about 18-20, IIRC.

Doesn't sound like the frame sustained any more trauma than a low speed
spill. If the rear triangle wasn't pushed out of alignment, it sounds like
the wheel acted as a crumple zone and absorbed most of the initial impact.

Search the Riv group, the BOB group, the 650B group, the Bleriot
Owners Group, and completed Ebay listings for Bleriot listings. Then,
take an educated guess. If it doesn't sell, you priced it too high.

Holding one knee against the top tube dampens out shimmy, but it's hard to
remember to do at that moment of terror. My 58 cm Atlantis will do that
with certain loads but fortunately at lower speed. Shimmy seems to be a
mystery.

Put it on eBay and let the market decide. Not now, though. The holidays are a
