Re: [RBW] Re: What high security locks are people locking their bikes with?

[Sean on Bike]

Honestly, if my bike gets stolen then it’s opportunity for an upgrade...

But when in questionable areas, I use the Sheldon Brown method that locks the 
back wheel to a post with a (Kryptonite) mini U lock. 
https://www.sheldonbrown.com/lock-strategy.html That’s usually all I travel 
with. 

This saves both the rear wheel and frame with just one mini U. If desired, he 
front wheel is lassoed with a cable to the U lock. It’s worked for many years 
on my bikes. Not no need to upgrade quite yet!

[RBW] Re: 0mm offset Nitto Quill Stem

[Drw]

Ah I see that now. Shoulda read the whole thing. I have an analog stem that I 
like a lot. It’d be cool to have a Nitto version, though I’d hope that analog 
gets some credit or kickback for taking the (re-)initial plunge.

[RBW] Re: 0mm offset Nitto Quill Stem

[Collin A]

That particular bike (the owners bike, that has a few other "custom" 
tidbits) is a threaded one, but yes, the Nor'easter is a threadless bike.

I wonder if these are done in conjunction with Analog based on the (W)right 
stems? I think they were the re-instigiators of the minimal offset stems.

Didn't Grant once say that the fillet brazed version of Gus was going to be 
limited or first-run thing only?  I recall the phrase "..at least at 
first."  I wouldn't be surprised if the special edition Susie and Wolbis 
were fillet brazed, and then Gus stays around as a longer-running, 
production, tig-version.  That's total speculation though.

I sure wish some of you in the Bay area who have the opportunity to see and 
test ride the samples would post some pictures.   There's been a 
frustratingly light amount of spy photos for this bike.

Well, that bike sold for $1,005.  There is now a 51 cm (my size!) Rodeo

Good for me I JUST re-built a '95 Road back up or I'd be all over this one.  
The Roadeoo frame alone is consderably more than this complete is offered at.

I have had a few people recognize it and comment "nice Riv," but I agree, 
from a marketing perspective.  

On one group ride, someone was admiring my bike saying how lovely it was 
and how much thought I must have put into each  detail  (the "thought" 
would have come from Rivendell and James from Analogue Cycles; the only 
thing I choose was the color of the bar tape).  He then said, 
""Appaloosa???  I never heard of that company.  Good thing it isn't a 
Rivendell, because that would have made it more expensive."

[jandrews]

Regarding the namesIn general , I find the gendered names of the frames 
a little annoying.  I always cringed that the earlier mixte was the Betty. 
  Applying masculine names to the other "normal" bikes is equally 
problematic.
I love the names Atlantis, Saluki, Cheviot, Hunqapillar, etc.   Love the 
name Appaloosa, I would be happier without the Joe in front.  Same goes for 
the Sam.
I think Clementine is an awesome name and I wish both the L and H were 
Clementines.

This is true. My biggest gripe with the cantis I almost forgot about - it

make a canti RTP bike, but with fenders these cantis would not work either.

[RBW] Atlantis evolution: Deja vu all over again

[tc]

I read a 2-page excerpt from RR #21 (thanks to Jim!) with title "Atlantis 
Review & Update", and was struck by the similarities between the move from 
the All Rounder to the Toyo Atlantis, the move from Toyo to Waterford 
Atlantis frames, and now the move from Waterford to Taiwan.  Always finding 
ways to make a bike better and less expensively ... and by all accounts 
succeeding! 

Excerpt, page 1

[RBW] Re: What're the best cantilever brakes out there?

[masmojo]

Ash, those are NOS & offered by someone with an inflated opinion of their 
value; occasional searching will turn up more reasonably priced used sets. 
Appearance wise they hold up well over time and any I buy, I am intent on 
using, so NOS means nothing to me. 

Of course they fall into that category of components that I should stop 
extolling the virtue of, because it just drives up demand and prices!

[Steve Palincsar]

Damned indeed.  That's some mighty serious money they're asking for 
them.  They weren't just MTB: I had them on my Santana tandem, where 
they worked just fine.  For that money, though, there's simply no way 
I'd choose them over the Rene Herse cantilevers.

[RBW] Re: Mystery bike in April Blahg

[masmojo]

I have a Clementine & of any issues I might have with it, the name is not one 
of them. But, then again the first bike I ever got new, was a Royce Union 
3speed in a ladies step through! My friends made fun of me for  a week or so, 
but I could wup any of them on their Stingrays in a race, so that diffused a 
lot of their comments.

To a Rivendell enthusiast the names are just what they are, but I did get a bit 
of pause from the police officer when I  told him the name of my stolen bike 
was a Rosco Bubbe. 

The average Joe is going to assume a girls name on a step through frame denotes 
a ladies bike. When the giant Clem L's came out I sent a link to my very tall 
friend; without even looking at the size he responded that his wife didn't need 
a new bike! 

Preconceptions are hard to undermine.

Re: [RBW] Re: What high security locks are people locking their bikes with?

Hi Doug,

This video shows a successful hacksaw & bolt cutter attack on the 
updated Tigr Mini which I have:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WZ0UCzi0Tpg
 
The quick success of the 24" bolt cutter attack is the most depressing one 
for me: I have three Tigr Mini & Mini+'s for coffee shop stops, but if I 
ran to the restroom, my Hunqapillar could be long gone.

Of course you can wish  and let it be known !  

I really LOVE bikes that have distinctive color.  When the 64 Clem-L came 
out (it's hard to even say that silly name, it's like naming your daughter 
Pete-L !)  when I saw it was colored Grilver my heart sank to the 
floor.  It was like offering the Coookie Monster a box of plain ol' 
crackers . Not num num !  The heart wants what the heart wants  and and 
all "reasoning" is powerless in It's Presence . 

Of course it coulda been repainted Orange or whatever and renamed 
Clementine but at a considerable extra expense with shipping. Nah !

I was greatly tempted to buy one of the last remaining decal-less green 65cm 
Clem H frames and choose the over clear coat Clementine decals as a complement 
to my mustard Clem Smith Jr. badged 65cm Clem H.  Unfortunately that was simply 
too indulgent and I just couldn’t (and still can’t) justify the expense for a 
duplicate frame.

Re: [RBW] What high security locks are people locking their bikes with?

[Patrick Moore]

I recently put bbs into my seatpost and stem binder bolts' heads after
reading this suggestion here. I used small dabs of Shoe Goo, fearing wax
would look messy and be harder to control. (This is the 2003 Riv, which I
want to look nice.) The results do look rather nice. It will require a bit
more work to remove the bbs, but the amount of Shoo Goe is small, so not
horribly difficult.

Aye, Garth. None of my lassies or wife wants a Clem L, but they all want a 
Clementine. So far, the 3/5th of them that have a Rivendell (because they're 
old enough to fit the medium, which is likely their adult size), have 
Clementines. They'd rather buy a used Clementine than a new Clem L.

With abandon,

Along the lines of discussion on bike theft and prevention has anyone found an

With the abundance of bikes / scooters for rent 


the companies supplying these must have some moderately priced tracker to keep 
tabs on them


and show customers where to find them.

[RBW] WTB: Albatross Bars aka I didn't do my homework

[Johnny Alien]

I liked the styles of the new bars but have now realized that they all 
sweep back much more than the Albatross which is something I don't really 
want.  I would need to compensate with a longer stem and 1. I don't want to 
buy a new stem and 2. I don't want that much reach.  

Anyway the bottom line is I have used an liked the Albatross so I am happy 
to go in that direction.  Anyone have a set they are looking to sell?

[Garth]

The general idea is that this is referring to a male and female version of 
the Hilly Bike, like the Betty/Gomez and Clem/Clementine-His/Ladies.  Yes, 
the other frame likely the Anniversary one.  
 
My own comment about the male/female names It's a darn shame Riv caved 
in for whatever reason and changed Clementine to Clem-L. Clementine was and 
is the best name ever for that bike. Oh m' darlin' Clementine  where 
art thou m' darlin' Clementine ? !There's no polite way to say 
it.Clem-L just plain sucks !  Ahahahahaaha !
