That orange won’t really go with anything. Midnight blue maybe, as long as you
have something equally bright anywhere else on the bike.
To my eye, the strong red tape kills the subtle beauty of the sage green paint.
British Racing Green could hold up to that orange, but I’d get a similarly
I haven't tried WD-40, but will give it a shot. I spent a long time
figuring out that it was the upper pulley. Drivetrain noises are sneaky,
but I was able to reproduce the noise when I spun the upper pulley by hand.
Or rather, moved it. It didn't spin freely.
Thanks for the input, all.
Sam,
Are you in Portland?
I have an 18' Trek 950 that's pretty much stock I was going to list on CL
soon, and a 19" 930 that I need to convert back to 26" wheels that will
also be listed soon. Both of these are lugged, US-made True Temper frames -
the good stuff. Not that Ant's 850 isn't good -
Sam, I'm 5-6 and I would barely get a leg over that thing, the seattube is
almost 56cm. As it's a mountain bike I presume the toptube length is crazy
long for us, too, especially with the reach of dropbars added. A 19" mtb of
that era is the practical limit for me, and even the '89 Ritchey I
Spurcycle only makes raw and black as you probably already know. However
they have done 5 (that I know of) limited run collaborations with Chris
King, matching the clapper on the black bell to a King Anodized color.

Regarding those grips: She doesn't remember the brand; she bought them at a
bike shop in Dallas a long time ago when she lived there.

Well, Sylvia sounds like someone I’d like to know! Send that new Rivendell
convert to our List here; as the famous Mean Girls movie line goes, “She can

I’m so glad to hear of the pieces that bring her joy on her new bike. I like
all those same things. What grips does she have

What is it called when a woman climbs in or out the pictured hole in the
ground on the decal?
I was reading that Berkley changed the name to remain gender neutral.
I could see a Clem in the family over the next year, such versatile machines
I'm sure currently enjoying my new to me Orange Sam,
Howdy,
Not a Riv, but I see a lot of Black Mountain Cycles chatter here so thought
I'd post. Happy to delete if OT.
I'm Road curious. If you have a 56 gathering dust, let me know. I'm open to
f/f/hs, complete, or somewhere in the middle.
Since PMing is funky with the new interface, feel free
Olivier, you would think I would connect those rather obvious dots! But
I've been dealing with this all my life, my brain has these weird blind
spots. I am eediot! 浪

What about adding canti posts and touching up? Maybe you'd get 26"x1.6 Supremes
or something along those lines?
The Clem would offer more flexibility, but might not have the handling
characteristics you prefer.

As God is my witness I didn't know it's a manhole cover. Which I probably

Something unique that the Clems offer - freedom from pretense, and a defiance
of classification. Clems do not take themselves seriously; finery is not
required. There is no particular way a
Hi Folks,
Looking for the MT-10 in the 70 or 80 size in length, 26 clamp size, but
with the 155mm quill length, if those exist.
Thanks,

As a footnote to this thread, I've noticed that the original lubricant -
usually some kind of grease - that the manf. uses for these items tends to
harden after so many years. I had a problem like this with some rapid-fire
MTB thumb shifters, too. Took 'em apart, hosed 'em out with PB

PB Blaster works well for that, too. I had a derailleur with some of those
pulleys that stiffened up like that and shot some of into 'em. Then I blew
out the excess with compressed air and replaced it wth Tri-Flow lubricant.
They almost spin by themselves now.

Thanks, Paul. 52 cm, so, theoretically (which means, imagining things
without actually looking at them) I might get a 2.1 Powerblock and no
fenders into the new Matthews frame build for 45s + fenders.
I hope things don't come to that, but should Rene Herse tires (Elk Pass and

have a "hop on and go" "sit up and beg" cruiser bike, and while sure, it
would be nice to own a Clem for this sort of riding, I've got a Riv custom
frameset hanging on the wall.
Here're the rest of my thoughts. It was
I will do that. BTW, until you pointed it out, I didn't even know that the

about orange tape? Answer: the orange of the tape is a much more obvious
I have a M739 that has those "sealed" pulleys that squeaked. They
pulleys were quite stiff to turn by hand. I had never done any So I decided
to "play nice" and take one apart, clean thoroughly and relube with some
Phil oil. I put it back on the bike and it was still stiff. Well sheesh.
