I just bought an '89 Bridgestone MB-1 and I'm going to spec it out a
bit differently than the original. So, to offset the cost a bit I'm
selling everything that came on the bike I bought. Most of the parts
are original. Here's the link to a copy of the catalog specs page:

on -- they are very useful, especially in winter when one doesn't have

Essentially a brand new set of MKS Touring Lite pedals. I threw these
on my Rambouillet and have used them for about 40 miles but have
decided I am going to give clipless a shot (don't kill me) so these
are going to go. Like I said essentially brand new. $40 shipped.
I also have some Power Grips
I think it's because mainstreem roadies don't know what to make of a
typical Rivendell or its rider. And remember, the guys'n'gals on the
latest'n'greatest are always a bit snobbish, regardless of the
activity (cell phones? bikes? dive equipment?). We don't fit neatly
into the pecking order.
I just saw theses from Jitensha very pricey though.

Higher BB (less drop) pushes the top tube up a cm or so. Not a big
deal, but Rivs already have a pretty high TT, so that extra cm makes
it feel kinda' tight. Especially if you put on some big-ish tires.

Just for clarification it is the Touring Lite pedal not the touring

I believe the Grand Cru 50.4 BCD crankset can be used with regular
modern front derailleurs. The
Rob is using the same Shimano triple derailleur (don't remember which

Hi I'm tempted to convert my custom 700c to 650b (not a riv but riv-e-
nized with a lugged stem/nitto racks/baggins). I'm a bigger guy at
6ft 215lbs and i love riding mixed terrain. This is my main motivator
for making the swap although, I must admit that reading certain
magazines has got me
I did a conversion on my road bike, and loved the road feel, but I did
have a drop issue that made it way easier to scrape pedals. I had
planned on running 650x38B but the Pari motos rubbed the insides of my
fork crown. So I had to go with Maxy Fasty's and those dropped me
lower than I'd wanted.
This falls into the You don't know until you try category. After
you get the wheels, you'll either commit to having them on, or love
'em so much that you'll get a new bike like William mentioned. Or I
guess you could hate 'em and sell them, but that's less likely :-)
I love 650b and would have

Nice story. Totally dislike that drop mentality. Although as I'm
