Re: [RBW] Re: The Windsor Rides!

2014-01-29 Thread Bill Lindsay 
Thanks Bobby.  I rode it in service yesterday.  I had a couple amusing 
shake-down ride experiences:

1.  I forgot how easily chrome seatposts slide.  My 75.5cm SH was 73cm by 
the time I got home.  Tighten it up, Nancy!
2.  I was getting noise shifting into the 32 cog, and this 1973 suntour 
derailer has a B-Screw, so I tightened it, rotating the derailer AWAY from 
the freewheel in order to clear the 32.  That made the noise worse.  Turns 
out that it runs quiet when the upper jockey wheel is almost riding on the 
32, so I had to loosen the b-screw.  It was kind of the opposite of normal 
rear derailer setup conventions

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the Albatross bars.  

More add-ons will include the Nitto wireguard, to keep my Saddlesack off 
the rear brake.  I also ordered a pair of black Sackville hub shiners, and 
a hammerstrike bell.  Riv content: I ordered all three from Rivendell

Pinstriping complete!  Horrible lighting, but it's done.  I'm pressing the 
Windsor right into service as my daily commuter.  I'll have the chance to take 
a couple shots in natural light tomorrow.  Copious close ups of the pinstriping 
is there on my flickr.  I think it looks spectacular.

Not THAT inexpensive.  I think that’s not all that much more than I paid for 
the Fuji S-10S I took to Europe in the summer of 1974, which was a very high 
quality (and even higher value!) bike.  IIRC, price was $195.  Carried me and

It's full Alba-smile worthy.

Imperfection side story.  I was so thrilled how the bar tape looked with clear 
shellac.  I ran out of clear and rushed down to the hardware store.  They were 
down to their last can of clear, and that can was kind of banged up.  It had 
splatter and drips on it, but it seemed full when I shook it.  Whatever.  I 
bought it and have done a couple more coats of "clear".  It's looking more 
amber, and the one side that I first did with clear looks lighter than the side 
that got three coats of this tainted can.  Oh well, we're making memories (as 
my mom always says)!

Thanks all.  I got the racks and fenders installed.  It is a lot of work 
doing this kind of integrated install.  The rear has no frame mounted 
stays.  It bolts on at the dropout and then bolts to the fender in two 
places.  The front attaches at the dropout, at the crown with a daruma, and 
to the rack platform.  Now I'm ready for just about anything.  Except now 
that the fenders are fully fitted, now I get to take them back off for 
pinstriping!

[RBW] Re: The Windsor Rides!

2014-01-22 Thread Bill Lindsay 
Thanks everyone for the kind words.  This really has been fun.  The racks 
and fenders setup has really got me excited.  Local (SF) retailer BoxDog 
Bikes has a 20% discount on all fenders through February, in part because 
we've had no rain.  I bought some smooth 700x50 Berthoud Stainless Steel 
jobbies from them.  The front and rear racks are the Velo Orange 
Constructeur models.  The rear attaches at the dropout and then twice to 
the fender and that's all!  Super clean look.  Since these steel fenders 
feel totally bomber I expect it'll be plenty solid.  It will be my first 
time to do an install like this, but it will be so old school and cool. 
 The front attaches at the dropout, once to the fender, and once through 
the fork crown daruma.  So, on a bike that has zero rack braze-ons, and no 
canti posts, I'll have front and rear racks with zero P-clamps.  I think 
that's so hot.  Anyway, stay tuned.

Beautiful resurrection job Bill!  that is one sweet looking ride.  I agree 
on the Center-pull brakes, I have become such a fan that when I build my
