Greetings, RBW list members--
I’m needing some components for my almost new 55cm Sam Hillborne
frame/fork/headset/bottom bracket. My preference is silver, not black. I’m 75
and on retirement income, so I’m limited to good quality used parts whenever
that makes better sense. In general, Shimano will do just fine. As an un-racer
and under-biker for most of my life, on a good day I can still ride 40 to 60
miles. In general, I ride 80% paved, 20% gravel and dirt. I’m a slow but
persistent rider who’s enjoyed four Bridgestone bicycles over the past 25
years—including a 1994 RB-T that I still prize. My wife has a 52 cm Clem L
which we acquired from a friend last fall. Shortly, I hope, we’ll be adding a
Rivendell Sam!
I have a number of parts on hand, but here is a list of what I need:
1) Wheelset: Quality 700c silver rims with Deore-level hubs, 32h or 36h for
spokes, with 135mm spacing, non-machined braking surfaces, outer rim width of
23mm ore 24mm. I plan to ride supple, non-knobby tires 35 to 42mm in nominal
width.
2) Drivetrain: Triple crankset 110/74 with 170mm arms. Prefer 42t/26t
chainrings plus space for an outer chain guard. I have a NIB Shimano Altus rear
derailer, but I’ll need a front derailer. A range of 25 to 95 gear inches is
most useful to me, with the Altus r.d. guiding the chain onto an 8-speed
Shimano cassette (12-32/36) that I need to locate. Prefer Shimano 8-speed
shifters, both bar end and thumb. Indexed rear is preferred, given my faulty
hearing.
3) Linear pull V brakes, with upright bar levers, both good quality.
Thanks for contacting me offlist with descriptions, photos and pricing.
