[RBW] Hillborne seatpost size

[Kevin Lindsey]

I just picked up a 51cm Sam Hillborne frame for my wife, and need to order 
a seatpost for it.  Anyone happen to know what size post fits this frame?
Many thanks,
Kevin

Pretty much what drove me to sell the Rohloff Oswald.  For the touring I 
do, 1x6 (the range carefully selected to incorporate my preferred gear for 
near every condition I encounter) works great.  The fact the rear wheel 
weighs so much less than the Rohloff is gravy.

[RBW] Re: Anyone order a Joe?

[Bill Lindsay]

By that method (overloading your cart with >10 in every size), it looks 
like that as of Nov 1 2015, people have pre-ordered

Zero -  46cm
2 - 51cm
6 - 55cm
3 - 58cm
1 - 62cm

If they really need to limit the first run to 50 (for whatever reason), it 
seems they'd be a lot better off building a lot fewer of the tiny ones, and 
a lot more of the medium sized ones.  

Like maybe 

46cm - 3
51cm - 8
55cm - 20
58cm - 12
62cm - 7

[RBW] Re: 1985 trek 870 rivified and rebuilt

['Chris Lampe 2' via RBW Owners Bunch]

What really nailed it for me is the bottom bracket drop.50mm!!!  That's 
almost unheard of on old MTB's.  The fact that it's a Trek doesn't hurt, 
either.  My first bike was a 1995 Trek and I'll always be a vintage Trek 
fanboy..

[RBW] Re: Clems have shipped!

Here is a link to my pictures from my visits to BB and RBW HQ last 
weekend. 

https://www.flickr.com/photos/30490050@N04/albums/72157658301010553

The Clems and Clementines were lined up too closely together to get good 
photos of them, so I just took a couple of shots of the place and some 
components that interested me, as I'm still collecting parts for my build. 
(For instance, the Silver cranksets look pretty good (although they're only 
available on the complete bikes right now), and the Bosco Bulmoose bars 
intrigued me; I think I'll be going with them.) But there are some 
Clems/Clementines in the photos!

[RBW] Re: 1985 trek 870 rivified and rebuilt

[Montclair BobbyB]

Bravo, Chris!!  That's one of my favorite frames, and you've nailed it.  
Perfect rebuild, brings out the absolute best in this bike... enjoy that beauty 
for a long time.
We did a group ride yesterday on a collection of (converted) 80s MTBs 
(Rockhopper, Bianchi Grizzly and Schwinn Cimarron).  They're pure joy.

The tires are something called Halo Twin Rail. i purchased these a while 
back on a whim, because they were cheap, looked ok and reportedly had good 
puncture protection. i can report that they do have good puncture 
protection and are not horrible on dirtthat's it. 

Ive gone through a lot of vintage treks and have such a sentimental place 
in my heart for them. weirdly, a lowish end 1987 elance is the one i miss 
most. an 84-86 800 series was always at the top of the desirability list 
though.

Hi Don,

Isn't it just natural, bikes & coffee. For me there's nothing like a group
ride with a beverage break.

Thanks for sharing your ride it sounds like a great day in the saddle.

FYI Bruce my brother has your old Rodeo. I'm riding one of your lightly
used Selle Anatomica's on my 1984 Trek 660.

Two Smitham's on this group can be confusing.

Tail Winds,

Hugh,
Love this stuff. On Sundays my wife and I have a 35-40 mile casual,flat 
ride to a destination that serves "Lavazza" coffee. When we arrive, I can 
hardly wait for my cafe americano. We usually have anywhere form 8-15 
coffee lovers. The ride is kind of a "piano" ride. The weaker riders spend 
more time drafting and do not get dropped. Reality, it's all smiles at the 
end of the ride.
Hope you enjoy your Roadeo.

[RBW] Re: Tail wind, head wind

[hsmitham]

Lol's yeah I've had the same experience deceiving my self into thinking I'd 
improved in my fitness level only to be crushed with the realization that it 
had been a tail wind and not me. I must say having a strong tail wind is 
magical for that fleet flying feeling. I've been looking at head winds these 
days as my resistance training partner. It's all good. 

I suppose I'll weigh in with my preference. I'll take the tail wind going out.

Tail Winds, :^)

Great images. I love the big horn sheep! And those roads look fantastic. Alas

[RBW] Re: 1985 trek 870 rivified and rebuilt

[George Schick]

I recall the original discussion about this frame from back around the 
first of September.  That's pretty quick turnaround for a PC job and then 
finding all those components!  Looks fantastic.  Did the same shop that did 
the PC take care of those brake mounting stud misalignments you were 
concerned about?

I tell ya, there's nothing better than finding and old jewel of a 
bike/frame like this and getting it back on the road again.  I did 
something similar last year for a local woman.  She had found a Rockhopper 
(ca., early 90's I think) near the dumpster in the parking garage of her 
condo building and couldn't understand why someone was trashing what was at 
one time such a high quality bike.  She was just coming out of an LBS where 
she had been quoted $200+ to overhaul it when she ran into me and said she 
wanted to restore it for a Christmas present for her young grandson, but 
didn't want to spend over $100 to do  it.  I said I'd take a look at it for 
her.  Someone had scavenged the crankset and pedals and left the BB.  But 
it, along with almost everything else on the bike was in pretty bad shape, 
except the tires which looked fairly new.  Since I knew it was for a kid 
and that she didn't want to spend much money, I ordered a very low-end 
crankset - one of those where the three chainrings are welded together, a 
cheap BB, some handlebar ends (also missing), and a new chain.  Then I tore 
everything apart and started from bottom up.  I had to dremel-burnish 
several bushings on the rear derailer because  they were so corroded.  The 
wheels, of course, needed to be trued.  I had a spare linear pull rear 
brake in my parts box and found another low-end NOS one at an LBS that they 
wanted to push so they discounted it to me so I could replace the badly 
abused canto's, etc, etc.  In the end she was delighted and the grandson 
was happy as a clam to get a bike like that.

[RBW] Re: 1985 trek 870 rivified and rebuilt

[drew]

well, the parts situation was very much helped by having a 7/8th built 89 
rockhopper who sacrificed itself for this build. transferring the parts 
didnt take much time, and the powdercoat was done in less than a week. i 
had the frame realigned by an older bike shop which had a park tool table 
in the back. they had to uncover it from a mountain of boxes and other 
things that had accumulated since the last time anyone asked them to 
realign a steel frame.  took a bit of cold setting, but the mechanic didnt 
seem worried he also didnt seem to understand why i wanted him to 
realign a super rough old trek mtb. oh well. 

and george, money invested aside, that rockhopper you built will probably 
last a lifetime. i wouldve lost my mind if i ever had a bike that nice as a 
kid.
