Friends,
I really appreciate what I’ve learned from you on this List; I owe you all a
great deal for the strides I’ve made - when I started I didn’t even know I
could raise my handlebars. I just like liked riding the bike and accepted
whatever parts/form the bike had when I bought it. So, hear
Pretty bikes.
As for the rack, I say:
1. Use the one you have.
2. Cut/grind off the tail light tab.
3. Then
a. twine and shellac the rear of the rack (similar to a kickstand)
or
b. use your matching nail polish on the rear of the rack
to hide the tab-ectomy.

Well those bikes are just gorgeous!

much. It's kind of what I figured. I took the RB-T out this morning for

Velocity offers anodizing with and without polishing. If you want both, the
polishing is done first, then it is anodized over the polish, it is
supposed to make the anodizing shinier (wet look) according to the website.
Velocity will do a lot of different stuff that is not on their website, if
I have one of the Realm TBD bags as well (and might get another) They are
good and really versatile. I use mine on my BMX cruiser, it fits the BMX
bars ever so well. BONUS: the Drip Camo colorway is the best!!

I think the polishing on the rims is AFTER the anodizing, to clean up the
braking surface, overall that doesn't sound unreasonable for the extra
charge, it's the base rim charge which seems sorta steep, but I guess they
can get it. Rim brake rims are getting harder to come by especially in
I used to run reverse levers with ‘cross-style interrupters on Boscos on my
Hunq. I liked this setup ok - to me the Achilles’ heel was that the non-moosey
Boscos were too flexy. The Tektro levers that I had (and still have, somewhere
in my parts stash) don’t work with V-brakes though. Paul used
I agree, Brian. I love ano stuff and at the rate they would fade on a
nicely kept bike stored inside (see: Leah's Plat) you'd be looking at
scratched and worn bits due for replacement anyway. Let your ano flag fly!
PS. The rose rims would have silver brake tracks. They look great.

Hello,
I'm currently riding 170mm Rivendell Silver crank set and would like to
find a pair of 173-178. Is anyone looking to shorten? Open to buying a pair
of Riv Silver crank arms in good condition too. this trade would be for
arms only in good condition or new. Mine are like new.
thanks!

I just got a ~9L bag that works on both saddle and handlebars that I'm very
happy with. Fits everything I need for a multi hour ride and doesn't use a
ton of space between wheel and saddle loops.

Bikes, at the level they are considered and discussed in this group, are as
much a means of self-expression as conveyance and utility. It is the
marriage of these things that makes it fun and its value is dependent upon
the person.
I like the fact that people go in so many different
Sorry, I didnt mean that to be discouraging, it was meant as a lucky
break! Smaller parts are less of an issue but on big expanses (like rims
and stems and seat posts) the unevenness of the fade is not cool.

Idle thoughts while waiting for a client call in 9 minutes.
Snow here this morning, tho' it won't stick; still, one hopes to get enough
to stay around long enough so one can ride in it.
Which raiseth the question: for a single speed mtb used for casual dirt
road and flat dirt track riding, sand
Not only does anodizing fade or wear (nothing looks more bedraggled than
anodized braking surfaces after a year of use), but after a year or so
you'll have to put the anodized bits in storage until the colors become
fashionable again. I should have saved my bright purple anodized Sun M14A
rims
It's a story about a black cyclist trying to make it in the big-time
cycling world; nothing wrong with that! It's relevant because of Grant's

I don't agree, with his prescription.

Last year I spoke with some of the folks at the Paul booth @ Philly Bike
Expo about some pink ano bits for my lilac BMC Road+ and they talked me out
of it. They said that pink ano fades really quickly in comparison to other
colors. I've heard the same about turquoise. So much for my Miami

Not completely clear on the Velocity website, but is it really cumulative?
I don't think they need to polish the rim before anodizing. I would check.
If not, the cost would be $170, for either polished or ano, not $220.
MSRP: $140 | +$30.00 Polished | + $30.00 Custom Anodized
Considering that the same person designed the RB-T and the Rambouillet
within a few years of each other and they were both Japanese production,
similarities in some respects are to be expected. Ram has a sloped TT, and
uses heat treated material for the downtube and chainstays while the RB-T
