Re: [RBW] Anyone done a metric century or longer on Albas?
Recently I ride the Haleiwa Metric Century on my Quickbeam with Albas and then did a couple of 75-80 mile rides on my Hunqapillar with Albas. All three rides included some climbing (actually not all that much on the HMC) and parts heading into stiff tradewinds. It was all good and I was glad to have them. I can get aero enough for me with them and can find enough varying positions to keep me happy. I'm thinking of getting the new 'staches but not for either of those two bikes.

[RBW] Re: Carradice
Carradice has outstanding customer service. They've always been way-above-and-beyond helpful whenever I've contacted them about minor stuff with old bags (issues that had nothing to do with quality). They really do stand behind their goods. As for quick-release capability, I like the Nitto saddlebag QR that Riv sells along with a regular rack or Mark's rack.I have this setup on two different bikes and have never had a problem with it.

[RBW] Re: Saluki love tires
The place that looks tight is not so much the width, but the rear length. It looks like the tire might hit the too long rear bolt that honjo vo use on al fenders. Bertoud fenders definitely offer more front to back clearance. These fenders came to me used and I don't know if the stays have been cut. I'll have too pull them apart and inspect the ends.

Re: [RBW] Compass 26 tire vs. Soma New Express 26 tire.
I wonder about road noise from the Compass 26 tire. M Schwalbe Marathon Racers are quite noisy, especially considering that they don't come with a lot of tread and most of that has been worn off of my tires. Tires on a tandem wear out fast and I'm extra cautious because I suspect my stoker is only good for one crash.

[RBW] Anyone done a metric century or longer on Albas?
I did a lot of 40-60 milers last summer. I find them comfortable for any distance and can't possibly imagine them getting less comfortable for longer distances (assuming of course, you like riding them to begin with). I have many, many years on these bars now--ever since since 2006, when I wrote my blog post The Albatross Handlebar Fan Club. I've tried other h-bars since but always gone back to a-bars. My feeling is that they provide the best of all worlds (at least for me). Need to relax the back and neck and take some weight of wrists and hands? Grab the very ends. That's great for a steep descent with hard braking. Gets the weight back on the bike. Need to get aero or just stretch out? Grab the bends out front. Need to switch up between the two positions? Grab right at where the brake levers are or just above. I usually have 2 fingers in front of the brake clamp and 2 behind. That position is my favorite for climbing (especially out of the saddle). Mix those three up and a couple of others, make sure you have a wide saddle, and all is well. That's all. Nothing else to say on this.

[RBW] Riv Thumbie Options Question - And Give Away!
Opted to move shifters from the DT to the handle bar on my next bike*. Riv offers Paul Thumbies set up to work with Shimano bar end or with Riv Silver Shifters. Among my vintage hoard are more Simplex Retrofriction and Campy DT shifters than any human should be allowed. Believe Campy and Retrofriction will work with the Silver Shifter set. Anyone try this? OTOH, am going with the Jeff Jones modified Shimano 9 speed to 6 speed cassette. I understand indexing will work on the correct set up. What do those using the Thumbie / Shimano combo think of the shifting? Now for the give away - As you may have deduced from the preceding paragraph, this bike will be a 1x6 (and 1 depending on where I use it). Whichever combo I go with, I will not need the front thumbie. I suppose someone out there is doing a 2x or 3x 1 set up and can use a front only thumbie. Or maybe someone wants to shift the front from the top of the bar and the rear from the bar end or DT. Or most likely, someone managed to bust a front thumbie but the rear is working perfect. Whichever, when I get my order will happily ship the unused rear thumbie free of cost to anyone who actually needs it. ( I know all to well from personal experience hoarding is a disease - I don't want to contribute to anyone else's malady ;). I will be making my order soon, so can send the other half soon (wonder if Riv would agree to mail to you direct?) *Bike is not a Riv, but will be made by near to Riv builder Curtis Inglis.

Re: [RBW] Re: Saluki love tires
I understand the Saluki and Homer have similar 'issues' with Hetres and fenders. I'm switching to Dia Comp 750 center pulls from the silver side pulls as it looks like that will give me a little more clearance. I've picked up the brakes but haven't got a chance to put them on. Still conflicted about trying hammered Honjos or VO Zeppelins but the price difference is certainly pointing one way. David On Jun 22, 2013, at 6:06 AM, Michael Hechmer mhech...@gmail.com wrote: The place that looks tight is not so much the width, but the rear length. It looks like the tire might hit the too long rear bolt that honjo vo use on al fenders. Bertoud fenders definitely offer more front to back clearance.

Re: [RBW] WTB: Rivendell Rambouillet
All this commerce in Rambouillets! I'd be interested to learn particular reasons why people are selling and why they are buying -- ie, why you want to get rid of, or acquire, a Ram rather than something else. I am beginning to think that the Ram, like the Atlantis and the Quickbeam, is a definitive Rivendell, ie, it fills a particular niche (pavement, but capable of modestly wide tires and fenders and of some light, firm dirt) in a particularly Rivendellian way and therefore has a unique identity. Perhaps the Roadeo fits this niche, too but is it as versatile while being better on pavement? I wonder if the Sam is not more of a compromise -- not hugely more off road capable, not as good on pavement. I wonder if the Saluki is a 650b Ram? Just thinking out loud.

Re: [RBW] WTB: Rivendell Rambouillet
Now owning both a Ram a Saluki I would answer yes, the Saluki is a 650B Ram, or perhaps Romulus. Mine has cantis, which is perfect for me. I would bet the two tube sets are identical. Both of mine are 62's but the Saluki has a slightly longer TT, which eliminates the slight TCO I have with the Ram Honjos. The Ram is a bit quicker but not faster. The Saluki a bit more stable and comfortable. The Ram does just fine on dirt roads with 29 mm Cerfs, but the Saluki excels at that with Pari Motos. My Ram is set up with lighter wheels, no rear rack, and a CD White crank, which probably accounts for most of the perceived difference. There are three things about riding I most enjoy and these two bikes excel at them. First, I want to meld with a bike. A great bike feels like an extension of myself. The Ram Saluki do that to perfection. Second, I revel in the gyroscopic feel of cycling. As I have aged (and I am rapidly approaching ancient!) I more and more realize it is not the absolute speed that provides exhilaration, but the combination of speed, fluidity, and security that produces that feeling of freedom and release. These bikes respond when I step on the gas and they both downhill like rockets on rails. Third, I want a machine that almost seems to disappear under me. No strange noises, no balky shifting, no complaining; just smooth response. Ginger Fred. How can you tell the dancer from the dance? Oh yea, and then there's that stressless comfort while cruising the countryside. I can't imagine selling either my Ram or my Saluki. The only problem they ever give me is deciding which one to ride!

[RBW] Re: Anyone done a metric century or longer on Albas?
I see you're in VT. I'm in CT. New England being what it is, you, like me, probably have some rather steep hills. I stand on my bikes (all have a-bars) for the steep stuff and the a-bars are great. I usually grip at the brake lever or just beyond for standing. Lots of leverage and feels very natural to me. Better than drops. Ymmv. No way to know unless you try.

[RBW] Re: SF Randonneurs June Populaire
Hey, this was a great ride! My first Brevet, and my longest single-day ride yet, 75 miles in all. So may Rivs in the ride, plus lots of RBW influence, from bags, racks, clothing, bits 'n pieces. Most fun was meeting other riders and chatting while riding. I knew it would be a good day when I espied a Rivendell Custom atop a car on the Bay Bridge at 6:20 in the morning, which turned out to be Esteban, up from San Diego. Our frames were nearly twins. It seems that for some, a 115k ride is a just a warmup. I found it exhausting, but still fun and ready for more. Thanks enormously to the SFR who organized the ride, AND fed the riders at the end with sloppy Joes, salad, and beer. I'll be on more rides, you bet. And if the guy who offered to trade a Hilsen *and* a Hunqapillar for my Custom is reading this... if you're quite serious, do send me a note. - Andrew, Berkeley On Friday, May 31, 2013 9:37:09 AM UTC-7, Cyclofiend Jim wrote: If you are brevet-curious: http://www.sfrandonneurs.org/summer-2013-115k-populaire.htm -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

[RBW] Re: SF Randonneurs June Populaire
It was a good ride, a lot better than the very wet and windy Spring Populaire in 2012. I took my recently converted to 650b Rambouillet running Hetres. I only took a few shots but you can see them here : https://plus.google.com/photos/110811135563703635281/albums/5892489448276992449?banner=pwaauthkey=COfz36repvSQZA I think this might have been one of the few times I did not see another Rambouillet but I did hear that there was a Romulus in the mix.

Some have commented that it's overbuilt, but at 6'2 230, it might as well be a skinny tubed rando bike that so many rave about. I also own a lugged Dave Kirk Terraplane built with modern Campy which is lighter/faster and a Match built 700c Rivendell All-Rounder. (predecessor to the Atlantis) The Terraplane constantly pushes me to ride faster and is great when I'm in that mood. I find the All-Rounder a bit sluggish for unloaded, general road riding. The Rambouillet splits the difference. It's relatively fast on the road and more than capable on trails and fire roads. A Roadeo might work as I have not had a need for racks. As Michael confirms, I believe the Saluki is pretty close to the Ram/Hilsen in 650. I have never ridden a Hillborne, but imagine it would be heavier/slower along the lines or the All-Rounder. (and the DTT for my size prevents me from trying one) The only reason I'm looking is with an 89 PBH, I am at the top of the recommended range for the 60 and the bottom for the 62. Even though I like my bars well bellow the saddle, I think going up to a 62 might provide a slightly better fit. Michael, Thanks for reminding me of a 62 out there that's not for sale. :-) On Saturday, June 22, 2013 3:54:05 PM UTC-4, Patrick Moore wrote: All this commerce in Rambouillets! I'd be interested to learn particular reasons why people are selling and why they are buying -- ie, why you want to get rid of, or acquire, a Ram rather than something else. I am beginning to think that the Ram, like the Atlantis and the Quickbeam, is a definitive Rivendell, ie, it fills a particular niche (pavement, but capable of modestly wide tires and fenders and of some light, firm dirt) in a particularly Rivendellian way and therefore has a unique identity. Perhaps the Roadeo fits this niche, too but is it as versatile while being better on pavement? I wonder if the Sam is not more of a compromise -- not hugely more off road capable, not as good on pavement. I wonder if the Saluki is a 650b Ram? Just thinking out loud.

Any color, frameset or complete. In addition to an outright purchase, I'd also be open to trading my blue 60cm for your 62cm. If you have (or know of) one, drop me a line and let's talk. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.
