Re: [RBW] Re: Exploration: Make your own pump peg

[image: B372A765-5F4B-42DE-A241-4387D0682850.jpeg] I like the use of an alt mount option even though I have a pump peg on mine. I love the double tubing of the Atlantis and don’t want it crowded with a pump. On Saturday, January 21, 2023 at 11:01:26 AM UTC-8 J C wrote: > I like the QR idea. >

Hi Bruce, Great to hear from you and your love of your many years of riding on Selle Anatomica saddles. Earlier today, I took a ride around my neighborhood. I stopped here and there to adjust my saddle; height, fore and aft, tilt and tension. I love the ease of using an Allen wrench to

I loved this bike, and loved it 3x1 most of all. So glad that Jared is keeping the 3x1 Platy alive (along with many of its stickers, which is no small thing on account of the strange bunch I had on there). Such a great build! The northbound Susie will get here early next week. I'll get it

[RBW] Back On A Platypus

Through various dealings the last year I worked my way down to only a Susie, trying to convince myself that I wasn't overbiking, but I was. I didn't need the tall BB or the clearance for 2.8's for the type of riding I generally do, and for the amount of time I spend on trails it was hard to

Re: [RBW] Re: A report on my new leather saddle

I've been riding Selle Anatomica saddles since Riv started selling them (they don't at present) many years ago. I prefer the original design for comfort but the current one works well too, and perhaps gives more use before replacement of the leather top. On Thursday, January 19, 2023 at

Re: [RBW] Re: Paul home polish

You are assuming that all anodized parts are available without anodizing, which it not true for all parts. Note that most colored anodizing is temporary also, the anodizing fades over time. Easy and cheap to restore polished parts, anodized parts - not so much. Black parts show wear and

No offense, but your current bike could be a Riv poster child for the 'racer look' vs the 'Riv look', bars much lower than saddle vs bars at or above saddle height (<= 2" above). The Sam uses a quill stem, so you can adjust the quill height. To replicate the fit on your existing bike, get a

For sale: a used pair of black Rapha Touring Knickers, no size labels, but I would call them a 34 inch waist. They fit baggy and roomy. The bagginess is why I'm selling them. They are too baggy for my tastes, and much baggier than other Rapha riding shorts and knickers that I own and love.

Re: [RBW] Re: Paul home polish

While I don't have any Paul brakes, over Life I've had plenty of aluminum parts that were of a natural, untreated finish. You can polish them all you like, but it doesn't last every long until they require more polishing. The polishing is an attempt to seal the exterior, to create a "buffer"
