[RBW] Afternoon ride from home into the mountains and back on my Sam

[Pancake]

Great riding after the rain in the west Napa hills on a used but new-to-me Sam 
Hillborne I got from Riv a couple weeks ago. Switched on Albatross bars, 
Compass Snoqualmie tires (great recommendation by a friend), and tuned up. 
Still messing with the bar setup but it’s getting an alternate dropbar setup 
next week.

Thanks for all the great ideas from this forum, this bike is just a blast to 
ride (and fun to tinker on)!

[RBW] Re: WTB 56cm Bombadil

['Abcyclehank' via RBW Owners Bunch]

Happy you scored multiple beams.  Way to cover your bases, I searched for a 
68cm Atlantis or 68cm Custom for 2-3 years.  Ended up with 3 within a month.  
Moved one back then; with another possibly on the move now that I added a 67cm 
single top tube AHH.

[RBW] Re: Possible issue with Nitto Tallux stem and Nitto Albatross bars

[Scott McLain]

I put on an alba setup last year and had the same issue.  I have an aluminum 
Alba bar with a Tallux stem. I assumed that I let grease between the bar and 
stem.  So I cleaned it off and added a little blue lock-tight and I think I got 
it!

I also used blue lock-tight to get my seatpost to stop letting my seat pop a 
wheelie.  It worked!

[RBW] Re: Silver Legolas on the blug

[Chris L]

I just noticed the Blug states that the silver/blue Legolas is the 
second-to-the-last and they have one more set of decals left.  Someone 
still has a chance to get the very last Legolas!

I have seen people modifying voile straps to put the hole where they need 
it, since they are usually too long for a saddle bag.

[Brian Campbell]

I think it also has to do with manufacturing. The Legolas is made by Mark 
Nobilette, not in a "production" manner AFAIK. Not to say it couldn't be 
done but seems unlikely.

The note from Will basically says you can order it as a custom Rivendell, which 
it sorta already was. Same for what was the Glorius/Wilbury..you pays your

Ok. So “Legolas” is copyrighted. But the frame is designed by Riv, and they at

[RBW] Re: Just your average Clem Smith.... not!

[Ian A]

@Joe

It's not so much the line breaking mid-hill. It is the lack of being able to 
repair a misshap while on tour. A line could get cut or broken for a number of 
different reasons and likeky never when actually being ridden. A new line and 
the right oil woukd be hard to find most places and bleeding the system 
requires a fair amount of specialist equipment.

[RBW] Shiny new rims

[lconley]

Just got my new rims in - still in their plastic. Polished 40 hole 650b 
Cliffhangers for the Bombadil and polished 36 hole 650b Quills for the 
future Custom. I like my rims polished and shiny - with the possible 
exception of being on a Guv'nor. Time to get out the calipers, double check 
the hubs, and order some spokes.

[RBW] Re: Just your average Clem Smith.... not!

[Ian A]

When I was cycle touring in Colombia, I met a Belgian couple with Magura 
hydraulic V brakes on their bikes. I questioned the husband about the logic of 
hydraulics on V brakes and he claimed they were superb. Easy to modulate, very 
sure and required little to know hand strength to brake violently when needed. 
I asked him if he wasn't concerned about somehow cutting or braking a hydraulic 
line and he felt the risk was really low. He'd been using them for years and 
also had hydraulic discs on their mountain bikes.

Wouldn't be my choice, but apprently Magura brakes are expensive and excellent.

What is an "anti break"?? Now if you were trying to write

make sense.





Perhaps helps with finder issues (arthritis, injury..)

I have my monitor set to black and white for the true Rivendell experience.

I'm kidding. but if I had gotten that last Legolas I would have gone with 
silver for sure. Let's call this one silvery-blue?

Surly Edna, 26x4.3.   I think Will needs to mock up a Lumberjack-inspired set

they’re working on to show you can cook your Elk stew (no potatoes!) while 
hilly- biking to your destination :-)

[RBW] WTB - Long Nitto Rack Struts

[Marty Gierke, Stewartstown PA]

Riv is out of the 42cm, and I need a pair at least 14" long (from center of 
bolt hole to tip) for a build. Before I go to the web, I thought I'd see if 
anyone has a pair to spare. Does not have to be new, but I do need unbent 
and 14" C2T to make it work.

This is correct. Technically they probably can't even use the ones they have, 
but Riv has been trickling out Legolases anyway since the decals are sitting 
there in the shop.

[RBW] Re: Silver Legolas on the blug

[Philip Williamson]

That's a shame about the "only one Legolas left," unless you already own 
one. They are one of the most beautiful Rivendell bikes, in my opinion. 
Delicate and strong looking. 

The idea that no more decals means no more Legoals makes me wonder if 
Rivendell changes model names when they run out of decals. 
"Well, we're out of Quickbeam decals, let's call the bike something else 
now." 
"We've only got 40 Rivendell decals left, let's stop promoting the 
customs." 
"Ah man, we've still got boxes and boxes of Atlantis decals. Let's paint 
the new bike teal and call it an Atlantis."

Beautiful!  That's in *much* nicer shape than the one I just sold.  I had

selling it.  It was a fun bike to ride, and I might have kept it if it had

[RBW] Re: FS: Last call on Willow Chainrings - $10/$15

[David B]

Hello RBW-OBers,
I took the chainring listing off my webshop without accounting for time 
zone differences so a little earlier than expected, and had a couple people 
looking to get in last minute orders.
I put the listings back up in my webshop - I will remove at 4pm CST today. 
They are on eBay now, at higher prices: 
https://www.ebay.com/itm/173730157142
If you ask nicely moving forward I could probably send a Paypal invoice at 
the prices listed below, but I won't be advertising them here moving 
forward. 
Thanks again,
David

[RBW] Re: Recommend a Non leather saddlebag straps

[Tom Wyland]

I ordered a bunch of straps from this site years 
ago: https://www.strapworks.com/default.asp  Just get the width correct. 
They have buckles galore, just be aware which ones are fixed and which are 
sewn on.

Note that the thickness of the straps varies. Nylon straps are what I think 
of as "dog leash weight." Polypro straps are thinner and lighter like a 1" 
belt that may come with a pair of nylon shorts.  I hope that helps.

[RBW] WTB 56cm Bombadil

[jamison brosseau]

I had really good luck in my search for a 60cm Quickbeam, so lucky in fact that 
I ended up with a 60 and a 62.  Gonna ride them both over the winter and see 
which I prefer.  
Anyhow I would really like to find a 56cm Bombadil as a complete or frame set. 
If you have one and you are thinking of parting with I would love to know about 
it.
Thanks
Jamison

Re: [RBW] How to select a Brooks saddle

[Lester Lammers]

I have a C19 carved on my 53 MIT Atlantis and love it. I had a Berthoud 
Aspin with the cutout on it but the C19 is much better on this frame for 
me. Bike Tires Direct has the C19 with cutout for $87.50 and free shipping. 
Riv does not carry it.

[RBW] Silver Legolas on the blug

['Mark in Beacon' via RBW Owners Bunch]

Wow. I don't really covet bicycles that I don't own (well maybe a little) and 
I'm more of a Clementine guy these days, but I sure wouldn't kick that Legolas 
out of my bike closet! Something about a bicycle with traditional sized tubing 
and cantilever brakes and nice lugs. Plus that silver paint with gold lug 
lining. And it's the penultimate Legolas, as decals are then gone.
