It's here 
,
 
in the announcement 
 
for Le S!lver crank.

Basically, it says:

   - S!lver butted Cr-Mo steel tubes, forks, stays
   - Fe 97.3%
   - Cr 1%
   - Mo 0.2%
   - C+Mn+Si+S 1.5%
   - UTS ~103,000 psi
   - Elongation ~10%
   - Yield ~70,000 psi
   
Kind of in the same ballpark as the evergreen Reynolds 531.

I too had that problem with Tektro 559 brakes and aluminum fenders (forgot 
if it's Honjo or VO) on my Wilbury. In the end, it was a struggle between 
getting the fenders high enough to run 650x42B tires, and the brake arms 
rubbing the fender. The tires won and I spent 20 mins slowly denting the 
fender around the brake arms. The brake arms still contact the fenders, but 
only when they're fully open with the quick release. Strangely, the rear 
matching Tektro 559 brake with the matching fenders offers no such problem.

Re: [RBW] WTB: Old School Grundens Poncho size L

Patrick, thanks for the advice. i thought of using pennies sewn into the fabric 
bottom. Maybe my wife will try this (she’s the seamstress, not me; I can only 
use a speedy stitcher sewing awl to ugly effect). Good to hear about your rain. 
Here in Portland, we are getting rain today for the first time in months, and 
it must be doing wonders for the terrible fires in the area. Just yesterday, so 
smokey one didn’t want to venture out doors. Today, blessed rainfall. So Hurrah 
here, too.

Re: [RBW] WTB: Old School Grundens Poncho size L

[Patrick Moore]

FWIW: John, I tried heavy ponchos, including Carradice's canvas Ducksback
and the heavy nylon yellow one; at least here in ABQ, NM, where most of our
rain comes in the summer time, I found them too hot. So I substituted the
lightweight and cheap Campmore bicycle poncho (no longer sold, I
understand) and attached 2 stacks of washers to the rear bottom. Even in
high winds, this keeps the skirts in place.

Our monsoon is still monsooning! Hurrah! It seems to have shifted over the
last 25 years from a late June through August period to a late July through
September period; we've been getting short but heavy downpours during the
last few days. We may make the 9" citywide average this year!)

[RBW] WTB: Old School Grundens Poncho size L

Hi All. My wife uses the New School Grundens for her commute; I'm trying to 
find her an Old School cape. Reason being, she had an Old School, loved it, 
and it was stolen when her bike was stolen (It was left in the carradice 
saddlebag). I got her a New School as a replacement, but it's a new design, 
and not as heavy as the Old School, and therefore, inferior. It rides up in 
the wind, and she finds it more cumbersome. It's been said before, but 
Ponchos need to be HEAVY to work well. I'd get her a Carradice waxed cotton 
poncho, but I want her to be visible, and it certainly is not, especially 
in Portland, Oregon. So if anyone bought an Old School Poncho they don't 
use and want to part with, let me know, please.

[RBW] Riv selection question

[Abcyclehank]

Dave,

Nearly everyone here give very good personal advice in my opinion but they can 
only deal with the potentially biased information they possess. (We all like 
what we have (keep) and which works for us and want to share that with others 
which affirms out decisions regarding bikes). 
I agree with the majority who advise keeping the Bombadil and the Jones.
I have a 64cm Bombadil, a 24+ Jones, a 68cm Custom Riv, an XL Surly Moonlander, 
and a Jumbo (large) Hubbahhubbah; I am 6'6" and my weight fluctuates between 
225-255.
The only other big variables are financial and emotional status.
At our SIZE, I find that the Bombadil works just as great as a bike path, daily 
run around, errand bike as my 68cm Atlantis did.
I have used my Bombadil set up as a County Road bike with a lighter wheel 
set(Mavic Open Pro and Campy Record hubs-8 speed rear and 700x44 Soma 
tubular(light)casing tires. I also have a set of heavier duty Velocity DeepV 
40h with Campy 8 -Speed OR Record hubs for heavy multiple day touring when my 
bike, self, and gear surpasses 330lbs.  I so regretted parting with my Bombadil 
frame that I persuaded the buyer to trade me for my 68cm Atlantis.
When you sell the Troll and Fargo if you have the strong desire to add a 3rd 
bike as a Rando/large man stripped down go fast, more power to you.  
Personally I would skip the Sam because I don't think it provides you anything 
significantly different than the Bombadil could as a go fast.  
Congrats on your absolutely amazing weight loss by the way; if you find 
yourself under 240 someday and want to reward yourself(emotionally) with a true 
road bike to complement the Jones and Bombadil these would be my 3 top 
suggestions: a Hilsen Homer, Ram, or Roadini.  Personally I would give each of 
them the nod over a Sam because it is their designed role. 
If finances were a concern and you want only two bikes max,   the Sam comes 
back into the equation but I do not sense that is the case.

Sincerely,
Ryan Hankinson

[RBW] Riv selection question

[Joe Bernard]

I'm not one to talk someone out of a new Riv, but my guess is a Bombadil is a 
great daily rider. Get a Sam or Appa if you really want a "roadier" bike, but I 
hope that your quite rare and beautiful Bombadil continues to see daylight.

[RBW] Re: Huge Rosco Mixte

[Daniel Jackson]

I'd take my Jones over any Rivendell any day. 

However, you sure the 24 Plus is your size? I'm loving my Rosco Mixte and think 
I'm smaller than you and ride a 25 Jones Plus.

[RBW] Riv selection question

[Daniel Jackson]

I'll agree with Jay here - I think the Sam with 42s would be a great fit for 
your needs. 

That said - the Jones is so very versatile. I've got a Jones Plus with 2 wheel 
sets. One with huge knobbies on velocity Dually rims and another with large 
(2.3) slicks on carbon jobbies. And my oh my I race Vermont gravel just fine on 
this machine with the light slick wheel setup. Sometimes I dream of using it 
for randonneuring it's so darn comfy. At your size I bet such a setup would be 
a wonderful daily driver. 

One bike; two wheel sets.

Anyone have pictures of build.  Ride report with comparisons to other Riv bikes

[RBW] Riv selection question

[Jay Connolly]

I am about 270 at the moment and love my Sam. I have a Joe set up as a 
hauler/router, but the Sam is my road  bike. Lighter riders describe the Sam as 
heavy duty, but to me it feels perfect on the road. My advice is to run  it 
with wide, supple tires.

[RBW] My First Rivendell

[Paul Choi]

Just picked up my first Rivendell in Walnut Creek. I took a one hour ride 
on Saturday and it was just so comfortable. It was just so weird not having 
any weight on my hands. Such a different but awesome experience. I'm hooked!

[RBW] Riv selection question

[DaveS]

I appreciate everyone's help earlier this month solving the elusive n-1 
equation. As mentioned I currently have a Bombadil for around town path and 
related usage. Not as it was designed as I have the Jones for that heavier duty 
riding as a mountain/ trail bike. The responses got me thinking that I was 
using the wrong tool for the job, as a "daily rider." This brings me to the 
crux of my question- what is the better Rivendell for a large person (280) as a 
road bike/trainer, etc? Several folks mentioned the Homer and Sam, but would 
they work as a daily driver that is sportier, lighter than the Bombadil? And 
would a bigger person crush them, which is why Grant suggested the Bombadil. 
Finally I presume that the heavy duty Velocity wheels would switch over should 
I move or add another Riv. In closing thank you for the help advice and 
direction. It is a good forum, and you all treat each other well which is to be 
commended in the din of the online world.

Thanks for the responses! 

Definitely want to check out this ride 'up north' - thanks for the link!  

BTW I don't think many of the stats on the map screenshot I posted are 
correct...I've never used a speedometer but 44mph seems really fast, even down 
a hill, right? I don't really care about speed, but now I'm curious; does one 
go that fast on a bike downhill?! Seems exciting! But also would make all that 
bombing down hills with no hands as a kid seem a lot more dangerous. 

Also, the link in the post are more photos, mostly of bodies of water we went

[RBW] Re: Fender Brands (Besides SKS) That Work On A Sam

[Arthur Mayfield]

My Sam is a 650b, but i do have Tektro 559's. My tires are Soma Grand 
Randonneur 42s, so are probably close to yours in diameter and even wider. 
My all-time favorite fenders are Portland Design Works Full Metal Fenders 
(city size). They are 700c x 45mm size. I mount them to the brake bolt in 
front with a Problem Solvers fender nut, and to the rear brake bridge 
directly (adding a leather washer. PDW FMFs are light but quite sturdy and 
have possibly the best/safest strut release design on the market. And 
they're the quietest fenders I've ever run, my previous experience having 
been with Honjos (with Berthoud hardware), SKS, and Planet Bike.

[RBW] Fender Brands (Besides SKS) That Work On A Sam

[RonaTD]

Yeah, metal fenders with dual pivot brakes have that problem. I think Bicycle 
Quarterly had an article with Peter Weigle showing his installation process. An 
important part of it that isn't easy for amateurs is the forming of the area 
that goes under the fork crown. Peter has wood mandrels he has made for the 
purpose. Like I said, not easy for amateurs! Forming a flat area that extends 
forward to the brake arches is something I would like to do on a couple of my 
bikes. 

A workaround is that you can back out the little brake centering adjustment 
screw on the Tektro calipers. That tilts the caliper in a way that adds a bit 
more clearance. I have successfully used that approach to fit fenders that 
otherwise weren't going to work. 

As for the daruma bolt - they are always too long and have to be cut. Getting 
the right length is really difficult. When you cut the bolt, put a nut on it 
below the cut, then you restore the threads by backing the nut off of it. Best 
to use a hacksaw rather than a bolt cutter.
