[RBW] Re: What do Hilsen Serial numbers start with?

2018-11-17 Thread 'Hetchins52' via RBW Owners Bunch
My blue 56cm is serial number - AH0273

I did NOT buy it from the original owner but two years ago, probably from 
the third owner.

Can I assume that mine is also a Toyo build?
And, what year might it have been made?

Btw I use the yepp mini on our 52 Clementine, small HHH, 59 XO3 and recently a

Re: [RBW] Rosco Bebe in the BLUG

2018-11-17 Thread Tony DeFilippo
My 2 1/2 year old ~30lbs daughter still loves the yepp mini.  She's tall enough 
that my 5'5" wife is no longer comfortable being able to negotiate the toddler 
helmet knocking her chin but for my 6' self it's not an issue.  

My daughter loves it, each seat has a weight limit/recommendation.  Front 
seating can move past the strapped in seat with a cycle truck/Euro style small 
saddle mounted up on the TT once they are old enough to sit on a saddle.  I 
plan to transition to that next summer most likely.

We also use a Burley trailer for rides she seems likely to fall asleep on.

Re: [RBW] Appaloosa vs road bike - (pointless) 19 mile commute time comparison

2018-11-17 Thread Patrick Moore
In general, I entirely agree; except that I'd state it thus: one's
physiology, riding habits, and bike choice lead one to become very
comfortable and accustomed to certain torque and cadence combinations in
given circumstances; again, +/- small differences. This is why, I think, I
find anything beyond 1-t gaps in a very narrow cruising range (say, 65" to
75") so annoying, while outside of that, I really don't care -- and this
might also prove the reasonableness of such old, 3-speed hub gears that
gave you the equivalent of 1-tooth steps and a total range of 15%.

Funny -- I'm out of shape now, but when I am reasonably in shape, I use a
relatively small range even for long hill climbs. 70" or 75" more or less
for flatland cruising, but no lower than 60" or perhaps 55" on a bad day
for the long Tramway climb; and often 60 and 65" instead, since I prefer to
stand on the 1-mile "steep" section. On the other side, I dislike spinning
up downhill, and rein it back to ~25 mph, which in a 76" gear is far lower
than even 120 rpm.

This dates back to my teenage years, when I had what I guess was a
half-stepped Raleigh Sprite with 48/44 X 14-28. I was entirely ignorant and
didn't know half step from crossover, so I kept it in the 48 all the time,
since that was the "fast" ring. (Actually, it dates from my first build,
everything entirely wrong, which had a single ~90" gear. I only walked the
~ 25% steepest sections.

Lum,

It's because your 54cm uses 700c wheels and the 52cm uses 26" wheels. The 
smaller wheel diameter calls for a shorter fork and therefore longer HT.

That is really wierd that the HT of this 52 is taller than a 54 HT . But that

Ian:

Good eye.  I am more sure now that the tire size is visible that it is a 52 and 
suspect the ST measurement is in error. Perhaps they measured the DT instead. 
In any case:  Advertised as a 56, measured as a 54 and evidence shows a 52.  I 
wouldn’t buy this without actually  seeing it in person.

[RBW] FS: 55cm Bridgestone MB-2 + Bruce Gordon HMF

2018-11-17 Thread Joe Bunik
https://www.flickr.com/photos/joe_bunik/albums/72157703630407114

Up for offer is a nice, largest-size 1989 MB-2 frame with a (NOS)
Bruce Gordon "Rock 'N Road Expedition" 559 fork, and paired up with a
BG HMF rack. These MB's are great climbers, and with the integrated
front rack would make for an excellent adventure bike.

Frame is in good condition, no dents or damage but some paint and
decal wear. Fork has minor wear and tear from a lifetime of living in
a box of forks.  Among unicrowns, the Gordon forks have an excellent
bend and are very well made. Forged plate-dropouts, with HMF-specific
rack bosses up top plus front/rear eyelets at the drops. The
drive-side top rail of the rack has been expertly repaired by an
experienced rack-builder (a new piece of tubing was internally
sleeved-in), paint retouched w/ rattle-can black.

Asking $425 + actual Bikeflights shipping; please let me know if you
are interested or have any questions.

Thanks for looking
=- Joe Bunik

I often think that there’s also a speed at which we feel comfortable. Like Xmph 
feels good so we naturally settle in around there +/- a small amount. Maybe 
this is cadence maybe it’s effort maybe it’s just internal equilibrium.

Re: [RBW] Appaloosa vs road bike - (pointless) 19 mile commute time comparison

2018-11-17 Thread Patrick Moore
I have in the past been distressed* to notice that my times on at least
many rides over similar hilly routes were as fast or almost so on the
30+-lb Fargo with Big Apple tires as on the 18 lb Riv fixed gofast. I put
this down to the fact that while climbing on the fixie was considerably
faster, going down was faster on the Fargo by an even greater margin. ~20
mile rides with numerous 1/2 to 1-mile long climbs; say 5 miles of climbing
overall. (Northern Rio Rancho.)

*Now* I am distressed to find (or think I find; haven't bothered to time
closely) that my Matthews with 20 psi 700C X 60 Big Ones is as fast on the
flats as my Rivs, which I put down to similar riding position and
excessively excellent rolling qualities of the Big Ones.

*Situational irony and verbal irony.

[RBW] Appaloosa vs road bike - (pointless) 19 mile commute time comparison

2018-11-17 Thread 'Deacon Patrick' via RBW Owners Bunch
On the few occations I’ve timed my ride and then compared times between 
Quickbeam and Hunqabeam, they are nearly the same (within a minute for a 70 
minute climb). The Quickbeam is faster on the roads, Hunqabeam faster on the 
trails. The difference is 2-3 minutes, whch then gets made up or lost on the 
trail or road. Aside from frame differences, the only differences are the 
Hunqabeam has panniers and wider/heavier tires. Both are fixed (Hunqabem geared 
down roughly 10” vs QB), Albastache bars, same pedals, same engine, similar 
weather pattern on test days. As others have said, far from scientific (too 
many variables to account for, and no repetition). Still, I was laughing. A new 
experience for me. I rather like it. Grin.

With abandon,
Patrick

[RBW] Appaloosa vs road bike - (pointless) 19 mile commute time comparison

2018-11-17 Thread Fullylugged
When I've helped riders find a more comfortable position, they have gained 
speed, despite losing a little aerodynamic efficiency. I have an upright 
Rambouillet with mustache bars high up and a drop bar waterford in lightweight 
tubing. Both bikes have 1 1/2" tires. I am about 1 1/2 mph faster on the drop 
bar bike.  Not enough to matter at all. I do like riding different bikes though 
so the enjoyment factor makes it worthwhile to keep more than one.

[RBW] Re: FS: 56cm Blue Rambouillet "complete"

2018-11-17 Thread Fullylugged
by the way, the bike was about $2,200 new, set up this way, so it's a super 
price for a very clean bike.

This is a 52 with 26" wheels and is still set up the way it was sold as a 
complete bike by Rivendell.  I have the same bike, only with lots of beausage 
and miles.

[RBW] Re: For Sale: Riv Wooly Warm jersey size XL

Thanks for the bump, Howard!  I have one person inquire, but she determined 
the dimensions were not correct for her.  It's still available.  -Steve
