Re: [RBW] matching saddle and handlebar tape

Just cinelli tan cork coated with amber shellac does it well. I don't remember how many coats, but you can do one coat a day until you are there. I think the cork is worth it for the cushion and feel, and I think it gives it a more substantial look. Mine came out really well in appearance with

Doug, That was really cool of you not to offer a lower price. You know you got a deal, the seller gets to complete her move feeling good about the sale, I'm presuming. I like hearing that story. Sort of a coincidence, I had a dream last night that I had this shed full of bikes and was

This one is making its way onto all my bikes. By far my favorite. Check out the built-in saddlebag loops: http://www.specialized.com/us/en/bc/SBCEqProduct.jsp?spid=57843 (If Bridgestone and Rivendell hadn't caught my attention decades ago, I'd probably be a spaz for Specialized.) On Nov

Re: [RBW] Margarita Mixed Metric

This is awesome. We should figure out a summit meeting/ride of the Northern California Rivendell bunch and the Southern California Rivendell bunch and do it in this area (about halfway between LA and SF). We could stir up some trouble at the Pozo Saloon. On Nov 27, 2010, at 10:52 AM, Robert

Re: [RBW] Re: FS: (2) Riv's

The original geometry chart in RR2 from 1995 showed the largest AR being 61 cm and taking 559 rims. The number of these actually made is a different question. At some point in the later 90's, I remember 59 becoming the cutoff size between AR's with 559 and AR's with 622. On Dec 4, 2010, at

Re: [RBW] Re: Roadeo vs AHH. Your thoughts?

Probably not. Mark at Rivendell told me the following in Spring of 2007: The Waterford AHH frame is just a little bit lighter than the Toyo Rambouillet frame. Of course, my Waterford AHH bike is heavier than my Rambouillet, because the AHH's capabilities invite beefier wheels and mini-racks

Re: [RBW] Re: Roadeo vs AHH. Your thoughts?

Ken, Strongly consider that orange Ram on eBay if it is just your size. You can make it fit the bill you were describing, that of a versatile bike that is easy to ride fast with the fasties if your body is able. I absolutely love my Rambouillet, because I can set it up as a pure road bike and

[RBW] Which Rivendell bike - Related Quiz Question

Easy one: if you place all the current Rivendell non-custom, multi-geared, non-mixte models (and add in the Rambouillet - it has emeritus status I say!) on a spectrum that runs from road bike to mountain bike...that's 7 models...the question is: Which model lies in the middle of the spectrum?

Re: [RBW] Re: Which Rivendell bike - Related Quiz Question

is an Atlantis (why are you not surprised?). No worries off-road; hauls more junk than anyone should care to; and wonderfully comfortable on the road. I can't keep up with Rob on his Roadeo but I blame old age for that shortcoming. dougP On Dec 8, 4:24 pm, James Warren jimcwar...@earthlink.net
