Re: [RBW] Re: Orange Ram touchup paint

[John Dewey]

That is all very true. Matching metallic / pearl formulas is nearly
impossible but you never know…maybe you get lucky. Keep at it ; )

And the TESTORS Boyd’s paints go way way back to the nineties. Probably
impossible to get your brush in.

But good luck! BTW, that’s Boyd Coddington, one of the great old hot rod
designers. TESTORS made a collection of his trademark colors.

Re: [RBW] FS: Hillborne

For anyone wondering, Cane Creek brake components are made by Tektro. The 
corresponding Tektro branded V-brake drop bar levers are the RL520, and are 
functionality identical and much easier to find.

Re: [RBW] Re: Will's Roadini SS

[Wesley]

Patrick, I think you've talked about having a Redline Monocog 29er... that 
was my more MTB-type single speed, too. I made it into an all-rounder by 
drilling and tapping the frame to mount rack and fenders, and I converted 
it to a manual 3-speed with three cog/chainring combinations that all added 
up to the same number of teeth. This was the bike that I built wheels for 
using unicycle rims for extra wideness. Finally, I put on Albatross bars 
and a CETMA front rack. In that configuration, I toured it from Fairbanks 
to Juneau, Alaska after I finished college at the University of Alaska 
Fairbanks. It was a very nice ride and I regret that I gave it away when I 
moved overseas for a few years.

Re: [RBW] Re: Rivendell-esq fat bike

[Hoch in ut]

For reference, I built a Pugsley years ago with White Industries cranks and 
custom BB. The narrowest I could get the Q factor was 183mm. That is with 
about 2-3mm crank clearance. Much narrower than stock but definitely 
nowhere close to 160.

Re: [RBW] Re: Will's Roadini SS

[Coal Bee Rye Anne]

I've had thoughts of single speeding my Clem H and even had a Paul Melvin 
and SS cassette cog in reserve for when the time came.  That was until the 
Melvin was called upon for temporary use on an unrelated project only to 
end up getting mangled when a stick jammed into the rear wheel breaking 
spokes bending the main arm of the Melvin (fortunately Paul says they could 
supply replacement parts that may not be listed for sale on the site so 
just need to call to order when ready to put it the Melvin back in 
service.)  

I know others have single speeded their Clem's with WI Eno Eccentric hubs 
like Will did for his Roadini but I also just caught up with a recent VO 
newsletter highlighting projects to come in the new year and saw they have 
an eccentric BB coming for 68mm and 73mm shells.  It says for Hollowtech 
spindles and I do not currently have any Hollowtech cranks but will be 
curious to see what kind of total investment it may turn out to be compared 
to an ENO wheel to achieve a similar overall conversion.
https://velo-orange.com/blogs/favoritewriteups/vos-2022-year-in-review-and-a-peek-into-2023

Also worth noting is the forthcoming VO Rando frame with modular dropouts 
allowing either vertical or track end attachments.  They do not yet specify 
rear hub spacing but I'm guessing 130mm is likely.

Re: [RBW] Re: Bombadil and Hunqapillar origins: The definitive thread

[Cyclofiend Jim]

Yes. My recollection was that Bomba was coming out when it was "suggested" 
that those names were IP, so IIRC it was the last of the Tolkien names.

Grant shared the Hunkapiller mailbox story with me verbally during a visit 
to RBWHQ It was the same as he later wrote in one of the Readers. 

The first Hunqapillar I ever saw came out with grey frame and orange.
I had some images over on my (goodness gracious it's still THERE?) Flickr 
feed - 
https://www.flickr.com/search/?user_id=93409214%40N00_all=1=hunqapillar

There were both TTT (Twin Top Tube) and Diagatube frames when I visited. 
IIRC, Grant said it was going to be diagatube only in production - this 
image shows an unpainted model -

(taken mid-2010)

For completeness - here's a tall Bomba with the TTT and that gorgeous

 Eric, I hope this doesn't derail your thread too much, but I though I

 expert... I'd say I'm pretty well-versed, though!
 I know Grant has always maintained that he named Rivendell BW out of 
 his appreciation for the old Rivendell Mountain Works catalogs (no doubt a 
 main inspiration for the Riv Readers and model catalogs / brochures). But 
 then, he also has taken quite a few liberties with the Tolkien property 
 names and references. Here's a short list of all the ones I can think of, 
 but there may be others:

 Rivendell: the magical refuge of the Elves in Middle Earth, where the 
 Fellowship of the Ring is formed
 Baggins: the surname of our Hobbit heroes, Bilbo and Frodo
 Sackville: a an affluent branch of the Baggins family in the Shire, the 
 Sackville-Bagginses
 Bombadil: as in Tom Bombadil, a jovial character who helps the Hobbits 
 out of a tight spot along their journey. He may be the oldest being in 
 Middle Earth. Infamously NOT mentioned

Not sure on that one. 

Note that the orange Ram was a layered paint job. Very tough to actually

Re: [RBW] Re: Will's Roadini SS

[Patrick Moore]

I'd like to hear about and see photos of single-speeded or fix-ified
mountain bikes set up as all rounders. One of the nicest single
speeds/fixeds I owned, and one of the very few discarded bikes I wish I'd
kept (the others are largely ss or fixed too) was that very early '90s
Diamond Back Axis Team with TA Pro 5 Vis crank with 42 t ring on long
spindle pulling a 17t fixed cog for a 67" gear; Flite saddle and Noodles at
the perfect reach and height on a 10 cm Dirt Drop stem. The high bb let me
pedal at speed around corners and the handling, tho' a bit sedate by brisk
road bike standards, was entirely and wholly neutral and seamless and
pleasant.

I've head of using a bb lockring as a lockring for a fixed cog, but I've
never bothered with one. I'll be interested in hearing if they add any
security.

Could you still get a custom Bombardil if you wanted one?

 Does anyone have more production details on the Bombadil? How many
 frames were made? Mine has always been a machine of lore to me.

Realized that these are actually Moustache bars, not Albastache. They're 
the RM016N model. Price is 65$ shipped on them. Thanks!

[RBW] Re: FS: Smartwool baselayers, English wool sweater

[Eric Marth]

I've had a few questions about fit so here's some sizing information. 

Black smartwool, labeled large, fits like a medium tee shirt (in my 
experience). It's 20" pit to pit and 28" from top of shoulder to bottom 
hem. 

Grey smartwool, labeled large, fits like a large tee shirt. It's 21" from 
pit to pit and 29" from top of shoulder to bottom hem. 

Feel free to send me an offer. Thanks again!

[RBW] Re: Will's Roadini SS

[Jingy]

Brian wrote  <>

Yes, an english thread BB lockring will fit the freewheel hub threads(not 
old weird french thread obviously) and can be used for extra security 
against the cog loosening up from backpedaling. I used this setup on a 
fixed gear commuter for a number of years. It may not be enough for tricky 
skids and other nonsense those fixie kids are into these days, but for 
normal riding it is quite helpful.
