years. I hope the owner gets it back.

Hi, all!
Does anyone have any experience with the sorta new Sturmey-Archer duomatic hub?
If so... Are they of reasonable quality (as opposed to being a novelty or a
fashion-gimmick or something intended for a department-store bike)? If you
have no experience but would venture an opinion,
I've thought of this too but I have found the rhythm of the ride on a
single speed or in the case of the soon to be Simple One, two speed,
to be different than a multi geared machine. My own home built with
two ratios ( 51 and 65) works on all but the steepest hills and I am

A one pound weight difference in a frame actually indicates a fairly
significant difference in tubing thickness. Speaking only for myself,
significant differences in tubing thicknesses make for significant
differences in ride quality.
Now, I don't exactly agree with Jan's planing hypothesis, and

After yesterday's rainy ride I'm pondering these things.
Anybody got splats?
Do the toes flap?
What keeps the toe portion down?
I see by the photos on Riv's www site that Splats are dual purpose;

Well said my friend and this is what I failed to say earlier. Unless you're

Hi all,
I have a Bridgestone Bub in my garage that needs to find a new home,
it is just too small for me. It seems to be the 50 cm model mentioned

It is in fair condition, and original as far as I know, except perhaps

I know there have been a number of successful Quickbeam internally-
geared hub conversions discussed on this list. The one that inspired
me most is by Eric Norris (post = http://bit.ly/9gyfnB; pics =

But Eric switched back to singlespeed
I agree. I have a Rambouillet, Hilsen, Quickbeam, and a Specialize Roubaix.
While none of the Riv's are close to the 16 pound Roubaix (although the Ram
comes in at 19 pounds), I find I'm mainly picking the Riv's for long hilly
rides. For the recent 1000k brevet in Tn I rode Homer.

I found that I preferred the feel of fixed gear riding on the Quickbeam. The
S-A hub works quite nicely, and it would be a boon for touring or for riders
who don't like to push quite so hard to get over the hills.

Doug I wrap my cables under the tape on all my bikes. They shift
great. I woulds replace the cables and housing and change to a better
cassette. You can get a NOS HG-70 for $30 on Ebay in a 11-30 8 speed.
I've always had trouble with the lower priced cassettes shifting
