[RBW] Riv horse-trading on a Riv-centric site
Having spent thousands at Rivendell and hundreds on used equipment here, I see no harm in buying/selling used pieces on this site. When funds are slim and I need something, I come here because the people on this site are knowledgeable and you usually get exactly what Is promised (not so much on eBay or Craigslist). This site works great and is enjoyed by thousands. Why fix what ain't broke? I believe most people on here spend what they can at Rivendell. Everyone likes the new car smell, but we can't always afford the shiny new stuff. Many times its impossible to find Riv. Stuff used anywhere but on this site.I get the whole buy Rivendell to keep them going thing...and I do that whenever I can, but I still don't see any abuse of wtb on this site...just my 2 cents...PeterG -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Re: [RBW] Re: WTB: Misc. parts for a San Marcos build
My San Marcos is a 59cm. Frame looks awesome. I wasn't looking for a new bike, but the wife got this used in brand new shape. I have a few other bikes including a Homer, Betty and an old 60's steel. Originally, I was just gonna sell this San Marcos. Decided may be to build it up if I can find parts cheap enough. Thanks again for all the info. On Thursday, January 9, 2014 11:56:37 AM UTC-8, Tim Gavin wrote: Congratulations on your beautiful bike! I just bought a Soma San Marcos 51cm for my girlfriend as a christmas gift, so I have hands-on experience on this frame. *Brake reach*: What size is your San Marcos frame? The brake reach is specific to the size, and Tiagra sidepulls may, or may not fit. 47, 51cm use 650B wheels and long reach brakes (55-73mm) Larger sizes use 700C wheels and standard reach brakes (47-57mm) EXCEPT: the newest production frames, 2013 on, use long reach brakes on all sizes. I don't know how to tell besides measuring. (I did speak to someone at Soma, though, and they said the newest run of frames also has Riv-style mid-blade fork eyelets for a mini rack. I don't know if this corresponds to the brake reach change). *Dropout spacing*: I've successfully spread the dropouts on two older steel frames, by hand, using the Sheldon Brown 2x4 method. Crude, but it works. (I should probably take both frames down to the bike co-op to double check alignment, but they both measure up straight and shift properly). HOWEVER: The San Marcos has beautiful lugged rear dropouts (seriously, I haven't seen the like), not skinny old-style ones. This may make it harder to re-align the dropout if you managed to bend it out of whack when cold setting. THAT SAID: You can probably just cram a 135mm wheel in there. Try it! You can spread the dropouts slightly by hand in order to facilitate. You won't bend them far enough to deform/cold-set them; you'd have to spread them much wider to do that, as Ron Mc stated above.

If only it fit me- then I could spend the next few weeks dreaming of buying it! Is it me or is the discounted price a little off? The invoice for the bike before tax is $5,446.00. When you add tax it brings the bike to $5,891.08. The after tax total is then discounted to $5,555.00 or almost $100 more than the non-discounted price. Since I live out of state after I pay shipping the bike would actually cost me more than if I had paid full price. Obviously an honest mistake but if you lucky enough to be the right size and nd have the $ make sure you bring it up when talking to them. Cheers!

I purchased this bike new a couple of months ago. I have another Hilsen and was planning on using this one for a road bike with light weight parts. I have since gone another way and have this bike for sale nowSome parts I added and they are slightly used (wheel set has about 500 miles on it, handlebars are from another bike and fenders are from my other hilsen). ALL parts are either new or hardly used. The saddle does have some wear but no ass marks and still in great shape. wheels are DT Swiss synergy Velocity and nearly new. 9 speed triple dura ace bar end shifters. New bar tape. Peddles water bottle cages are NOT included.Open to REASONABLE offers. I was asking $2999.maybe it was too much? If someone prefers Albatross bar set-up, I have that too and can swap out the cockpit. There are Pasela 32's on it but if you prefer i have nearly new Marathon 47's (yes, they fit with fenders off).

[RBW] Strange happenings out there
My wife had to go out of town for the week. Bored, I decided that I would spend the day riding my Hillborne and then visit a few local bike shops and see what's selling out there these days. I haven't really been to many bike shops in the last couple of years (Rivendell has been my go-to place for most all my cycling needs lately). I ended up visiting three shops here in Reno, NV. I felt like I was in a weird sort of parallel universe. All of the stores had their racks filled with carbon race bikes with the handlebars wa below the seats. When I asked to see bikes where i could get my handlebars at or above the seat I was told at each store that they don't make them that way... unless I was interested in a beach cruiser type bike (single speed). It was explained to me that people want to go fast on road bikes, so they need to be hunched down to prevent wind drag. When I asked about seeing steel frame bikes, all of the salesmen told me that steel bikes haven't been made in years.. .WOW! At the last stop I made, a young kid that worked there (maybe 19 years old) whispered to me that there was a local shop that did indeed sell two steel bikes, gunnars and surly'sbut he couldn't remember the name of the store. Not sure if that is true or not, but I give the kid credit for at least trying (his boss tried to sell me a cervelo race bike two sizes too small for $7900 for weekend solo riding). Is Reno an anomaly or is this happening everywhere? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

[RBW] Re: Soma San Marcos review @ Bicycle Times
Doug, I know exactly what you mean. I too am looking for a road quick bike that i can put albatross bars on and be COMFORTABLE. Age creeps up on us and riding can become a burden if there is a long recovery. That doesn't make us want to not go faster...it just makes us hurt more if we do. I owned a Gunnar Sport that may have been perfect for that kind of riding. I never put anything other than drops on it but thinking back I probably should have... just to know. Good luck in your search On Thursday, May 9, 2013 2:33:15 PM UTC-7, Doug Williams wrote: I'm leaning strongly toward a San Marcos, but I can't seem to let go of the idea of having a faster Roadeo. I like to do long solo rides. I ride with others on occasion, but I don’t worry about racing or drafting anybody. I want to be fast (doesn't everybody?) but I also want to be comfortable. Not just because I like comfort (I do) but I also think that being comfortable allows me to put in more effort, which makes me faster. Plus, at 55 years old, I don’t recover as quickly as I used to. I want to be able to ride daily. I don’t want to spend days “recovering” from the last ride. So which bike do you guys think would be better for long, comfortable, randonneuring type (but not racing) riding? The San Marcos with the 6 degree slope TT and very upright position? Or the Roadeo with the lighter tubing (a little over half a pound, I think) and more “race bike” geometry? I would put a threaded stem on the Roadeo and build it up pretty much the same as a San Marcos. So I expect that I should be able to get the bars high enough on either bike. But there are still differences in the bikes, and I wonder how much “real world” difference there would be on a long ride. But then I keep going back and forth. The San Marcos can take a back rack that could come in handy on longer rides. But then, I could clamp a rack on the Roadeo if I really had to. The Roadeo is a drop-dead gorgeous “true Rivendell” bike with a great paint job on higher quality steel. But then, the San Marcos is $1,300 less.

Love the ClassyHobo thing...I picture a charlie chaplain type leaning against a Homer and contently looking at the world go by On Thursday, May 9, 2013 7:59:00 AM UTC-7, grant wrote: I'm late to this one but jusr read Jan's thing about the way he likes bikes and the way I or Riv does, and so...there's really nothing he left out, or to add. One thing to keep in mind that's easy to not keep in mind is that a group like this has already been filtered through progressively finer sieves until here we all are, comparing two species of planaria, while maybe losing the big picture, which includes tigers, volcanos, vaudeville, and black holes. Jan's planaria is rando; RIV's is kind of classy hobo, but they're both practibo and in such similar ways, beautifo. Rando came in the '40s and no doubt had its own influences, but RHerse was at the center of it, and there were a few others (read Jan's book, omg, if I may!). CHobo bikes like ours wouldn't exist without those. I'd be hooking up with assorted Chinese bike factories looking for the best deals on forks and trying to keep abreast of the lastest nanotechnological progress in carbon, or something. So, when it comes to a little more or less trail, a little more or less integration of racks, and big saddlebags versus big handlebar bags---in the picture that's only slightly bigger than the one outside the powerful microscope, it's all the same. Jan's contribution is like salt's contribution, at least that's one way I think about it. He is thumbs-upping Herse and the old French guys, pointing to them, but in doing that he's actually making a huge contribution to modern bikes and styles and tastes, educating along the way. Of course, there's nothing TO take away from the old Frenchies (as I call them, but I'm sure Jan has never), but because of the size of the bike-riding population today, Jan is himself more influential, and I'm one he's influencing. Periodically, while he's up there doing his thing and I'm down here doing mine/RIV's, we get tossed into the ring as antagonists, which makes us both feel weird, sinceit ain't like that at all. I've known Jan for close to 20 years. What we have in common brought us together and keeps us that way. His book is a masterpiece. I've read the whole thing and have dipped into it many times since. It's soothing to the eyes and feels like a cozy blanket on a chilly evening (the chilliness coming from non-planarial bikes!)

As you might recall from an old post/thread, my neck pain is formally being treated and I have some moderate deterioration in the 6-7 cervical vertebrae. Good-bye mustaches and hello Bosco's. So specifically, I just switched to Bosco's on my little 51cm Protobleriot single from m'bars and think all my bikes are headed in that direction. I am loving them. I've had a couple of 20 mile days plus short errands. I have the 58's and the big surprise here is that they are not too wide for me at 5'2. What's even better is that they are making a difference for my neck. The combo of having a more upright position and wider bars is that they provide a healthy posture for both my neck (having the weight of the head on top of the shoulders) and shoulders (being more stretched back and out instead of rolled forward and in). Plus the Bosco's give you so many hand positions. My only complaint is brake-cable-mitten space. Haven't gotten it dialed in yet. No problem without mittens. Dialing in also includes saddle adjustment. Anyway, I can feel it making a difference in the short time I've had it set up. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

[RBW] Ram: loaded; Parigi-Roubaix tires; dt shifters: trade?
Always weird how people's impressions can differ so widely. I sold my Ram after borrowing a Hillborne and using it to carry weight. The Sam to me, was the bees knees compared to the Ram. The Ram seemed squirly under weight, while the Hill borne seemed borne for itI now have the Hilsen for quick (to me)riding and the Sam for everything else...though sometimes I miss the bouillet...i guess the lessen is to NEVER sell a bike... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

[RBW] New (to me) Betty for the wife
Drove down to Riv. on Saturday from Reno to pick up the wife's Betty Foy...I took along my Sam Hillborne...The Saturday crew was great as usual and even helped me with a shifter problem I was having (self imposed) while we waited for the Betty...This is my third Rivendell for the family and we couldn't be happier! I now have what I consider the perfect pair...a Homer and a Sam. The Homer is set up as my go fast bike with drops, no racks or extras. The Sam is set up as my wanderer. It has racks, bags, bells, 47cm tires, Bosco's and sometimes even a doggie basket up front. My wife is lovin her 58 Betty and we can't wait for biking picnics and riding along the river in Reno. Thanks again to Joe, Sean, Harry, Will and especially Kevin for all the continued advice and help.PeterG -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

[RBW] Re: “Paleofantasy”: Stone Age delusions - Is Grant Eating the Wrong Stuff?
I don't know a lot about all the different views of this subject, but I do know my own results..I have MS and neuropathy in hands, feet. I came across a book called wheatbelly back in December of 2012...The author (a cardio doc) mentioned that thousands of his patients have improved their lives cutting out wheat, grains and sugars. He mentioned how lots of evidence is starting to look like many of the auto immune diseases are somehow related to gluten and the new age wheat we have formulated.(these aren't the wheats of our grandfathers). Just to see what would happen, i started Dec 10 with cutting out ALL grains, sugars and processed foods. results after 3 months: My left hand is actually working most of the time now...my brain fog is gone...Migraines are history...pain is half of what it was...cholesterol numbers have been cut by 67%...I am no longer on high blood pressure medsand the list goes on and on and onPersonally, I think the wheat that we created 30 years ago is killing us slowly, but each of us has to decide what works and what doesn't...I want to thank Grant for getting me started on this. I was talking with him last year and it was he who first talked to me about diet and how important it was for sustaining a healthy life (he even had me watch a youtube video)...I encourage everyone to try for yourself and see what happens...what have you got to lose? Sorry for preaching... On Mar 12, 10:30 pm, grant grant...@gmail.com wrote: Whatever works for (anybody) is the right thing. A good way to test is to have a complete blood and lipid test (testing for Type A and B LDL, or else it does't tell you anything), and include A1C in there, too. Do that now (for instance) to see how your diet is working, and then go super low carb (or minimally, quit grains and beer for three months) and test again. Anybody can stand on a scale and look in a mirror and get a *feel* for how things are going, but the blood tests tell things the scale and mirror don't. For those unfamiliar, this is about a super low-carb diet that eliminates all grains and most other high-carb foods. It is based on the notion that the species Homo has been around for 2.5 million years, but has had access to vast amounts of carbohydrates only for the last 12,000 years at best (middle east, asia), and some cultures---notably Native Americans and Africans and Af-Americans, and notably not middle-easterners and asians— have had less than two hundred years to adapt to high-carb diets. People with long histories of carbs have in their saliva more amylase, an enzyme that pre-digests starch before you swallow it. But the famous skinny Asians that people tend to use to discredit low-carb diets--are eastern asians who eat like birds and work like bees---a fistful of white rice, some veges and fish---and that when they eat typical western diets, they plump up like the rest of us. And---this is longer than I'd planned to speak here—the science behind the benefits of low-carb comes down to one word: Insulin. Insulin is a metabolic hormone that determines whether you store fat or burn it. I am not a scientist, but even the most conservative scientists acknowledge that in the absence of insulin we burn body fat and fuel our cells with ketones (a byproduct of fat breakdown); and in the presence of insulin we create fat and store fat and burn glucose for energy. So if you carb up for a long ride, you will burn the calories that you ate, but not your body fat. (Insulin spikes with carbohydrate intake.) Is there an endocrinologist in the house who cares to weigh in here? There is mounting evidence (spoiler alert: I will soon ask if there's an oncologist or a cellular biologist in the house) that cancer cells thrie in the presense of glucose (comes from carbs) but they cannot live on ketones (fuel used when carbs are restricted). So cancer cells have been known to shrink on ketogenic diets. Oncologist? Cellular biologist? Of course if your body fat is where you want it and your blood scores reveal a picture of inner health, then it would be nutty to change. BUT if you're not where you wanna be and your blood scores suck, then low-carb is worth...not dismissing just because it is counterintuitive. good site: theeatingacademy.com and nusi.org They are two good sites that anybody with an open mind and uncrossed arms may find interesting.
