I have some serious unexpected expenses that have forced me to make some tough decisions. Hence this is going up for sale. I am the 3rd Owner of this Frame, Fork and Wheels. They were barely used by the first owner and the 2nd owner never even finished building it back up, so practically speaking I am the 2nd owner to ride the bike, although it looks like the 1st owner maybe put a 100 miles on it. It still looks brand new. The only evidence of wear when I got it was the brake surface on the rims, they had very light marks. Condition is a solid 9/10 on the frame and fork. No scratches, dents or anything else to be worried about. The Specialized/Nitto Dirt Drop Stem is the only part on the bike that has scuffs and a scratch. If it bothers you get a new stem. Also the fenders are a little less than perfect with a few dents and 2 extra holes drilled for a front rack. I covered the holes with Foil Tape, looks about as good as one could hope, I never got around to buying a front rack like I had planned.

[RBW] Re: New Simple One frame
The latest word is that this first batch, at least will have Canti/V brake mounts and NOT have the cream head tube. Sounded mostly like some communication issues between Taiwan and Walnut Creek. It would not surprise me if any subsequent batches go back to sidepull. I asked about that during a visit in early March. I was told sidepulls are simpler to set up so were chosen keeping with the simple theme. I have a frame on order and was slightly bummed as I had already bought a pair of sidepulls to use. Those brakes have already found a home on a winter project, so I'm fine with the switch. I had a slight preference to canti in the first place. Looking forward to getting the frame. I'm mostly building from the parts bin, but there are one or two more things to aquire.

Re: [RBW] tubes for 700x50
Do you means size or brand? I have Conti, Cycle Pro and other 29er tubes that will work in anything from a 45 to (in my case) a 65 (the Contis are labeled 28). I've had problems with Cycle Pro (I think that's the brand; cheaper ones) in smaller sizes but not so far with the fat ones -- possibly they are simply never stressed as much. FWIW, I've used 1 tubes in 2 tires, at least for a week or so at a time, with no problems; weird tho' to pump and pump and feel this little hard thing floating around in the flaccid casing, until you pump some more and the tube finally swells out to casing size.

Re: [RBW] tubes for 700x50
I use the Schwalbe 19A recommended tubes for the 50 - 60mm tires and they hold air like forever... I get them at Wallingford Bikes, http://www.wallbike.com/schwalbe/tubes/tube-no-19a-xl. They are a bit pricier but they're a bit lighter and they last forever. Otherwise I believe you can get away with the 17 as they have it sized for the 45mm tires but they can easily be stretched for the 50mm tires as well. I haven't had a tube failure or a puncture yet (knock on wood!) with these tubes and my Marathon Supremes or the Big Apples.

[RBW] Rockapillar....Bombalized....Hunqa Hopper?
I work for a shop. We sell Trek, Cannondale, BH...lots of carbon. Lots of squishy bikes. Being on the A.H.H I am the black sheep. Everyone thinks I'm loony. I have not purchased anything from our shop besides tubes and tires for probably 5 years. Nothin we sell really get my blood going, except... One day a long time ago, little ol lady brings in a couple bikes that We purchased over 20 years ago and hung in the garage. She didnt want them, and wanted something else. We took them in trade, hooked her up on a new bike, and the bikes went on display in our store. One was her small Centurion road bike, full DA. Minty mint condition. The other was (assuming) her husbands 85? Rock Hopper. Again...minty mint. Original tires even. I have drooled over the bike since, but felt a strange on the fence pang about it. On one hand, I was happy to see it displayed proudly and preserved instead of rusting away in a backyard. On the other it irritated me that it was not be used. I have been quite vocal over the years that if it was ever taken off display to give me opportunity to buy it. Today was that day. And the owner told me to just take it home! I believe it's an 85 but need to research some more. It was hung in our rafters, so it was tough to tell what exactly it had on it till it came down today. Derailleurs are Shimano Deer Head, Mostly Shimano components: Canti's and levers, Unishift thumb shifters, hubs and pedals, Avocet Saddle, Specialized cranks, Bullmoose is not labeled, but I believe Nitto was doing some stuff for the big S. Anyway, I removed the dried out tires and threw on some fat IRC Duro Metro slicks for the time being. I plan to pick up some skinwall MTB tires, add a Brooks B-17, a big saddle bag, and hit the dirt!!

Re: [RBW] Re: Homer in Monterey + photos
Thanks Mike, I took this with my iPhone 4 and the ProHDR app. It creates amazing images by taking two real different photographs and then aligning them together automatically. You obviously cannot use it for moving objects, but for landscapes and static elements in the pictures it is amazing.

From: Rene Sterental orthie...@gmail.com To: rbw-owners-bunch@googlegroups.com Sent: Monday, April 18, 2011 11:47 AM Subject: [RBW] Homer in Monterey + photos My wife, son and I went to Monterey for the weekend. On Friday afternoon we checked out the Sea Otter Classic and all the booths in the expo. Normal road and mountain bike racing stuff, but a few cool items like wooden bikes. No Riv stuff on this kind of shows. My son had a great time collecting goodies and freebies from the different booths and I confirmed I really have everything I really need, not that it will change what I still want... :-) On Saturday morning my son and I rode from Seaside where we were staying, all the way to almost the entrance to 17 mile drive. We rode on the Coastal Trail until it ended and then on the road until it turned inland. It was foggy and windy and sunny and very nice. I rode my Homer and he rode his steel Giant ($300) that he uses to ride to school. Out and back it was about 16 miles and he was pretty tired when we got back. In the afternoon the three of us went to the Fisherman's Wharf to walk the trail and later had a very nice dinner. On Sunday my son wasn't feeling like another ride, so I rode north from Seaside by myself on the Coastal Trail to Marina and back. I like this stretch a lot better as it is more rugged and less populated. There are some sidetrips to be taken on the dirt and sand to the beaches and there is a second section of wide pavement that I used to return that makes a very nice ride and allows one to take the detours to the beaches and so on. The Homer's fit has been adjusted with a Berthoud Touring saddle and a 7cm Technomix Deluxe stem and now the fit is as perfect as I can get it. I also fine tuned the yoke height on the Racer brakes for more MA and they felt wonderful as well. Other insignificant but important to me details are that on Sunday was the very first time the XXL Musa knickers fit and my first ride with no padded shorts since I was a kid in high school. To my amazed surprise, I was more comfortable on Sunday with the Musa knickers and regular underwear than I was on Saturday on padded baggy shorts. I think I've turned another page and now my all too large padded shorts stock is going to be donated rather than replenished with smaller sizes. A happy fellow that made me! This morning I commuted to work on the Musa knickers as well and again, was surprised at how comfortable I was and how non-irritated my skin feels. It was also the first morning commute where I didn't need a vest and lamb-skin full gloves. The temperature was 55 - 57 and my NZ wool zip T and a jersey on top were all I needed. Spring is here in the Bay Area, with an expected 70 or so by the time I leave the office and head back home. A few photos of my Homer can be seen here:http://tinyurl.com/3kpa2f7 René -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Re: [RBW] tubes for 700x50
I think the tubes I use are regular weight 35-38mm 700c tubes in my 2 700c (29er) tires. These tubes weigh a bit less than regular 29er tubes, and I like saving that little bit of weight off of the huge amount of mass that's already there. Mentally makes me faster.
