I have owned several B17s a Champon Flyer. All developed their own
'personality.' The worst warped B17 lives on a mountain bike. In spite of its
oddities its super comfortable when I place my butt on it. That said, after
breaking in a Berthoud (which took awhile) it is a perfect saddle.

Okay, one more price adjustment, before I decide to just build it up for
myself. $1750 plus shipping and the advantage of not having to wait 3 months
for Waterford to build it.

Where dynamo hubs are ubiquitous I think you meant to say? ;)
Yes, the times I've been in Germany, dynamo hubs and good lighting seem to
be standard equipment on bikes.

As the bike fleet has shrunk, I find myself with stuff that I need to move
along. These are the first generation RetroShift brake/shifter levers with
a set of Shimano RX100 7 speed index shifters. The levers are in great
shape and were installed once. The shifters are used and one of the
Hmm... except that it only happens sometimes, and what I've noticed is that
whenever I reshape the arc radius I sometimes unintentionally also
introduce a twist problem. I suspect it's because one edge has a slightly
different arc radius than the other edge. The question becomes, how to
2. When I tighten the stays to the dropouts, it over straightens the tail
and it winds up twisting the other way. Weird.
This is caused because the fender and stays are not stress relieved
(pre-bent). They are not assuming the final shape you want them to before
they are bolted up. By
That's a pretty clean solution. Mine would be similar, but employ a flat
elastic strip, held to the frame with a small stainless M4 or M5
button-head bolt and a thin brass fender washer. Should be easy to get a
builder to add the threaded boss for a small bolt right there.

Looks like fun. I hadn't heard of that camera before, so looked it up on
Rain Forest. Love the gushing ad copy - Packs a mounting magnet; sticks to
any metal surface - Well huh, that's a pretty fancy magnet that sticks to
*any* metal!

Erl,
Though late to the party, wanted to express how gorgeous your new to you road
custom is. The photographs are superb. I personally know how enjoyable a Winter
project is, looking forward to the build over the months I know it'll be a
sweet ride.
Best,

I was about to purchase a 55cm Sam Hillborne from Rivendell. However, I
may have the opportunity to purchase an older 56cm Hillborne for a
substantial savings. I have test ridden the 55 and thought it felt great
but the savings is hard to dismiss. Does anyone know how the geometry

I thought I had read somewhere that Riv might have lengthened the chainstays on
the newer Atlantis frames. If I am measuring right, mine are 46cm on a size
56cm 26 wheeled frame (center of BB to center of rear dropout). The 2010
geometry table on the website lists 44cm on the 26 frames.
Hi Group,
I've finally decided that the Albastache bar is not for me, at least on my
Atlantis. I'm looking for a straight trade for the Aluminium Albatross
version. If you have the silver MTB levers too and aren't planning on using
them I could either throw in some Tektro road levers ( with
