I think I might finally be reaching a level of bike-contentment. This time of year I normally have a gob of plans for winter projects. But I'm not feeling a burning desire to change much or procure new bikes.
The only for-sure thing I have in my winter queue is to build a "lasher" rack for my camping/dirt road explorer bike. The purpose of the lasher is to provide a spot, low, in the back, where I can lash light/bulky stuff (sleeping pad and bag). Maybe I'll overhaul all of my hubs too. And maybe re-pack my cup/cone bottom brackets. But I doubt it. I might put brifters on one more bike. Since discovering and verifying the "Campy 10-speed-shifts-shimano-8-speed perfectly" solution this year, I'm tempted to roll that out across all my drop-bar bikes. That whole "shift while you stand" deal turns out to be pretty righteous on the commute. I've done it for years with bar-ends, but I phased those out over the last couple years in favor of indexed 8-speed DT shifters, and shifting while standing and in the hoods is a whole different ball of wax. -----Original Message----- From: rbw-owners-bunch@googlegroups.com [mailto:rbw-owners-bunch@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Joe Bunik Sent: Friday, November 18, 2011 7:04 PM To: rbw-owners-bunch@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: [RBW] What's your winter project? 2011 version At long last am happy to post to this list as a bonafide RBW owner (rather than by virtue of them being my LBS!)... Immediate plans are to get the new baby up and running: http://www.flickr.com/photos/joe_bunik/tags/legolas/ After that, rebuild the Miyata 610- which was previously the "poor man" substitute of and has been shedding parts for the above! Probably make that back into some sorta Japanese cyclotourist inspired build, maybe this time with 650AAAAAAAAAA! wheels... =- Joe Bunik Rainy day garage fun in Walnut Creek, CA On 11/18/11, Kelly Sleeper <tkslee...@gmail.com> wrote: > Get Quickbeam back from paint..
