I'm spending more and more time in Hilo as my folks are getting on in
years...at least that's what I tell myself. In truth it's great to get away
from Honolulu and spend some time doing nothing. But it was getting to me
that I didn't have a bicycle and after a day or two I start getting antsy.

Excellent report. I love my Trangia which I got myself for Xmas. I've only
taken it out once on a 3 night trip to Oahu's North Shore to ride this
year's Haleiwa Metric Century (great ridereally great ride). I didn't do
any major cooking, lots of hot coffee and tea, and instant oatmeal. I also

Just received mine in the mail yesterday. While flipping through,
noticed a very nice ad by Renaissance Bicycles on page 16. Beautiful
photo of a perfectly built up Sam Hillborne. That, along with a
Rivendell ad a few pages later means twice as much Hillborne as normal
in this issue.

I have a set of lightly used Hetres, black tread, tan sidewall that I'd swap
for a set of similarly used all black Pacenti PariMotos. I like the Hetres
fine but I'd like to try Pari's on this bike (650b Quickbeam) and I think it'd
look good with black tires...
Sorry for the cross post, fellow
It looks great. Those rear dropouts/track ends are subtly different
than on the Quickbeam; the slot looks longer. Now that would be a very
useful change.

Thanks Eric for the complements on the Ad and the Sam Hillborne.
Like Rivendell, we are happy to support the Adventure Cycling
Association. We believe in their mission and appreciate the wealth of
touring oriented information that they readily provide.
For the next year or so, we've pledged 1%

Oh my size. If only I hadn't grown impatient waiting for the Simleone
and started on another bike. Someone please buy that frame so I'm not
tempted.

Check out www.minibulldesign.com. Tinny is quite the tinkerer and

I wonder why Grant stopped at #8. I'm looking at fork crowns, and
thinking about how I'd file my lugs waiting for the next step.

I assumed it was just an extra day or so between steps. I've been just
collecting them to do them all together, but will probably get started
this weekend. I'm hoping we'll also have a step on forks and deciding
rake, bend radius, etc. I spent an evening hanging out with a friend

Count me in. I still have a present to give to Grant courtesy of the

anyway.I'll bring my camera!

It's my understanding that the production version will have the same
curved dropout as the Quickbeam.
I recall Grant saying identical to the Quickbeam except made by Maxway
in Taiwan and not Japan.

Kudos to whoever put the ad together. I quickly thumb thru AC cover
to cover but the orange Sam with full rackage brought me to a quick
halt. Before yesteday I had never heard of Renaissance Bicycles
(granted, my univerise is small) but I dropped everything to log on to
see who are those guys?.
My 650B Sam Hillborne has Velocity Synergy rims and Shimano Deore V-
brakes with the pads that came on them. Since new the front wheel has
had a little tick with each revolution while braking. I assumed this
was a slightly raised joint line that would flatten out with normal
wear. Over the last
I would look at the braking surface of your brake pads. From the
looks of it, you've got bits of aluminum or other abrasive material
imbedded in the pads.
