[RBW] Re: Thinking of getting A Homer- does it feel quick?

[Mark Schneider]

I don't know about the new design, but I've had a Waterford Homer since 
2011 or there about. I love the smooth, comfy ride, and it's plenty quick 
enough. Not fast like my old Masi or my custom Terraferma, but plenty fast 
enough, especially with Rene Herse Tires. The Homer is more comfortable and 
rides similar width tires as the Terraferma, but I have ridden some pretty 
gnarly single track on that Homer I would not try on my other "fast" 
framsets. If I had to have only one bike, I always thought I'd pick the 
Homer. I do wish it had canti-brake mounts I'd run my favorite brake ever,  
the Paul Mini-Moto's! 
I also have an Atlantis, and it's more of a mountain bike, setup with 
upright bars, the Homer is faster than the Atlantis, but I love riding them 
both.
I've seen plenty of Brevet riders on Homers, great long distance bikes are 
both fast and comfortable, I'm sure the new ones ride beautifully, are even 
more comfortable and probably faster downhill.

Thanks for the heads up. I've been riding on a bit too big for me XO-3 with 
an 80CM stem so will try it out at first. I'm also tempted to try one of 
the other sweptback models but will try out the Toscos first.

Hi Eric, 

BTP appears to have some similar stitched synthetic leather bartape 
.
 I 
am not sure if there is an exact color match, but there are a couple 
similar options. 

Good luck on your search!

[RBW] Re: Thinking of getting A Homer- does it feel quick?

[Jason Glenn]

Graham,

I believe you said elsewhere that you're looking for one of the older 
Homers.  I got a 2011 Homer about 6 months ago.  My first Riv.  It's 
fantastic.  I put 38 mm Soma Shikoro tires on it -- may try 44s when they 
wear out -- and use it for my commute (with a rear rack and panniers) in 
Los Angeles.  Take it longer (30-40 mile) rides several times a week.  Have 
done spend a few full days in the saddle with long climbs and descents.  I 
literally couldn't be happier or imagine anything I'd want to do that I 
can't.  

I've had a few short spins on a friend's Hunq, double TT Sam, older 
Atlantis, and a zippy custom.  All really wonderful.  Find myself 
fantasizing about getting another Riv (Joe App or Atlantis) to complement 
the homer, maybe with fatter tires, front basket, swept back bars, etc., 
but every time I do so, I ask myself why, as it would mean that I would 
have less time on my Homer that is so comfortable and smooth.  It's such a 
joy to ride and a true all-rounder, just as a quick as my old Raleigh 
Reynolds 753 road bike, when I want it to be, but far more versatile and 
handles better, for sure.  

Good luck with our search, but if you can find one at a reasonable price, I 
can't imagine you'd be disappointed.  Mine is all that I'd hoped it would 
be and more.

I need to buy a bike located in Nashville, but I’m in New York..
Anyone in or around Nashville willing to lend some time in trade for

Maybe you wouldn’t mind holding a big beautiful creamsicle orange Ram until 
I can figure something out?

Re: [RBW] Clem L in a Cherry Blossom Dream

[Patrick Moore]

Further and further from topic, but indulge me, it might add a bit of spice
to your dull lives: I had to sell the upscale Sprite, and was propositioned
by several brothers of my father's secretary, a statuesque, yough
ex-Punjabi Sikh woman whom I knew because she always intercepted my phone
calls to my father. She told her brothers about my sale, and they came out
to our house to view and negotiate, but we could not agree on a price.
While most Indians of that place and time were small by corn-fed American
Anglo standards (my father was 6'2" English/Scotts-Irish Southern American,
tho' enlightened -- he married a Filipina in 1954), her brothers were even
more majestic than she, easily as tall or taller than my father, and stout
-- I daresay, even on the vague evidence of 50-year-old memories, well
north of 200 lb. With turbans and full beards, my 18-year-old self found it
difficult to tell them "no."

[RBW] Re: Help me buy a Riv

[Roberta]

I replied to your other thread asking about a zippy bike and gave my full 
endorsement to the Homer.  I just love riding that bike.

For around town though, when it's an on/off/on/off/stop at 
light/start/stop...oh, pothole,  I much prefer my Platy.  I built it up 
light-sh with great tires, rims, a 1x and Dyno lighting.  That bike goes 
with me on about every other long ride, sharing duties with Homer.  Platy 
is my commuter ride.  As Johnny said, much of it is with the build.

If I'd have to keep one bike, I'd be happy with either.

[RBW] Re: FS: Silver 38/24 Crankset, Billie Bar, 650B Wheelset, and more

[Johnny Alien]

The wheelset is gone. Here is an updated list. Help me clear out my stash.


   1. *Tektro Quartz V Brake Set* - These are brand new and pulled from my 
   new Clem. They are labelled as "Quartz" and they are silver and nice. I 
   only pulled them because I had some new Deores I wanted to try out. *$30*
   2. *Clem Saddle* - Nice black padded saddle that comes with the Clems 
   and maybe some other Riv completes. Fairly wide so good for someone looking 
   for something cheap and wider than a B17. *$35*
   3. *Busch+Müller Eyc N Plus Lumotec IQ2* - This is new but not in a box. 
   Has the wire you need. 50 lux. One doller per lux. *$50*
   4. *Altus Rear Derailer* - This is not the cool big pulley Altus. This 
   one was new on my Clem. Can be indexed up to 9 speeds and if you want the 
   Shimano trigger shifter that was on the Clem I can throw that in for a 
   couple bucks more. Nothing at all wrong with it. Does everything you want a 
   rear derailer to do. I just wanted to put a big pulley Altus on because I 
   had one and they look cool. *$30*
   5. *Deore Front Derailer* - Again this is new from the Clem. Nothing 
   wrong with this either I just went with a 1x setup. No need for it. *$20*
   6. *Sunrace Thumbshifters (Left inner/Right outer)* - These are the cool 
   friction thumb shifters that Riv put on everything for awhile. They click 
   when you shift but aren't indexed.Info is on the Riv site. I have two of 
   these and both are new. One came from the Clem and one came from a set I 
   bought where I only needed one). These can be used for the front derailer 
   mounted inside the handlebar on the left or for the rear mounted on the 
   outside on the right. Technically you could use both of these on one bike 
   but that might look weird. Grant might approve. *$25 each.*

Re: [RBW] Front Range Riv Riders? Atlantis curious in Boulder

[Christian B-H]

Mark- You're probably correct on your insights! I received a helpful reply 
from Bill although I missed out on his bike while deliberating, and agree 
with your assessment of setting the bike up similarly to James which is 
also pretty much the direction Johnny's response was taking me. 

Lance and Jon- Thanks for the messages. I'd love to come down to Littleton 
and ride sometime. I know Andrew on this group has a 2001 Toyo Atlantis and 
would also be interested in riding. Front Range Riv Riders is not *yet *a 
club, but anyone Riding Riv's on the Front Range is welcome to it! 

I'll be in Bear Creek Lake Park this Saturday morning the 2nd if a 10:30 or 
11am ride might work out of the Littleton area, and if not, could do 
Sunday. Otherwise, potentially April 17 or the May 8th or May 15th, or a 
Saturday at 2pm or afterwards on the 16th of April or 7th or 14th of May. 

If anyone is interested feel free to send me an email directly at 
beit...@gmail.com and I'll put together an email to organize.

 down to personal preference. I hope you can find a good source for a try

[RBW] Re: Help me buy a Riv

[Emily Guise]

Hands down, IMO, get a Platypus! Honestly SO good for riding around town, 
it's super comfortable and stable. Climbs like a dream, fast on the flats 
to speed through those yellow lights, easy step through frame for hopping 
on and off. Looks gorgeous and you will receive many compliments, but it 
can definitely handle all-too-frequent potholes and unpaved gravel sections 
of streets (maybe that's just in Portland?). I have a basket up front and a 
rear rack for carrying stuff and they don't weigh the bike down at all, and 
they're fantastic for errands.

Re: [RBW] Re: Beausage

[Bicycle Belle Ding Ding!]

I was SO hoping Pam would chime in here. I love that post about her Betty 
Foy. What are we at for miles now, Pam? I bet you’re close to 65,000. I 
should get an odometer on my bike - I know how many miles I ride per month 
and year (Apple Watch) but I don’t track the miles according to which 
bicycle I ride. Would be nice to know how many miles I get out of tires and 
components, too.

Re: [RBW] Re: Coffee Grinder Question

[Will Boericke]

Blade grinders are totally fine for drip coffee.  I'm not sure you'd notice 
a difference there.  If you're making espresso, the burr grinder is a 
must.  I have to say, for crusty bike tinkerers, Baratza is right in our 
wheelhouse.  All the parts and instructions are online.  I've had mine 
apart dozens of times and upgraded the internals along the way.  As far as 
using a drill with a hand grinder, I'm not sure I see the need to 
reverse-engineer an electric grinder, especially for the amount of coffee I 
grind (a pound + / week).

[RBW] Re: Help me buy a Riv

[Johnny Alien]

Having a proto Gallop (designed to be a zippier road bike) and now a Clem 
(designed to be a do all modern mountain bike) I can say that the overall 
opinion that the Clem is not as sprite as other models comes down to builds 
more than frame. I can easily say that if I threw heavier commuter tires on 
the Gallop and added some racks and a Dynamo wheel and then on the flip 
side gave the Clem some light components and nice light/supple tires that 
the Clem would feel much zippier than the Gallop. I would argue that there 
isn't a bike in the lineup that couldnt do what you want to do and be a 
whole lot of fun to ride while you are doing it.  Maybe not the Roadeo but 
that's about it.

[RBW] Re: Help me buy a Riv

[Rusty Click]

Graham,
I live in Pittsburgh, PA and if your travels take you anywhere near...say 
somewhere between CLE and IAD, I'd bring you my 60 Sam to ride.  I also 
have a MUSA 62 Atlantis that's set up as a tourer if you'd like to try it. 
 I use the Sam very much like you plan to do and love the ride.  I've even 
had racks on it and used it for weeklong touring (before Atlantis), and it 
held up fine even if a little out of its wheelhouse.

Rusty
