Re: [RBW] Trifecta of Big Bike Goodness for sale on the 'bay

[Robert Zeidler]

They're all mine and it's really a positive thing!  I'm seriously thinning out 
the herd and these are the start. The one I can't believe no one has snapped up 
is the brand new Sam for much less than it would otherwise cost. I can't decide 
if no one wants it or they're just being cheap (lol!)

I hope someone gets it and tours the planet, but I won't give it or for that 
matter, any of this stuff, away. It's not a pressure sale, just a clearing out 
of various less/seldom ridden or never-got-to-it project stuff. 

Come and get it!

Re: [RBW] splits in nifty swiftys. safe or not?

[Cyclofiend]

I'd zap that photo back to the folks in Walnut Creek.They could  
tell you if they had a bad run, or if they want that one back so they  
can get some credit.  Especially if they are new, recently received  
tires.


OTOH - if I had to run 'em, I probably would - it's hard to tell the  
depth of that split, and what it will do when everything is pumped up  
to pressure. If it's a deep split, it's above the bead, so it should  
not blow there.  But, sidewalls have the least amount of thickness. My  
guess is that is the overlapped casing, and the sidewall didn't quite  
have enough material to completely cover it. The casing wraps up from  
underneath, over the bead, so I think you are looking at the end of  
the material.


hope that helps,

- Jim

Re: [RBW] You really will like this video ...

[Cyclofiend]

Beryl Burton is the real deal, and there's such a wonderful human  
element to that.  For some reason, I always think of her and Burt  
Monro as kindred spirits.  (Or if you really want to dig up the  
obscure, John B. Kelly, Sr.)  Something about the athletes and  
endeavours of that time that did make us understand and appreciate the  
humanity which went along with that.  These days, the demands of elite  
competitive sport seem to require such isolated and rarified air for  
the participants.  Everything has become so specialized.   I was  
talking about this last night with my wife, as we watched the Fastest  
Swimmers In The World™ and the Most Incredible Gymnasts™.   My thought  
was that there's no "outside influence" anymore for most of them.   
They've become thoroughbreds.  Sequestered and trained, but rarely  
with a resonant personality, or even the glimmer of other interests.


And, I do doubt that you could do otherwise these days to succeed in  
international competition these days. It just isn't a lifestyle to  
model for enjoyment of the sport.

[RBW] ISO "Sheldon nut"

[PATRICK MOORE]

Trade or purchase. Want to install Tire Savers in anticipation of a
goat-head-filled Fall. The bike in mind has a front allen-type brake
and there is no more room in front of the crown thanks to the
headlight bracket.

Anyone?

Thanks.

[RBW] Deal on svelte clipless pedals

[William]

I bought two pairs of Shimano A600 pedals from this seller.  $74 shipped 
per pair.  

http://www.ebay.com/itm/270813910033?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649#ht_500wt_1128
 

If you are like me and sometimes like to use clipless pedals, but like 
using treaded shoes, these are good quality lightweight ones that use the 
Shimano cleats that you probably already have.  Jan put them on his 
ultimate bike, so they must be good.  :)

that may be and i don't necessarily disagree.  but I'm fortunate enough to 
do training races with a worldcup/olympic mountain biker (Lea Davison - GO 
VERMONT!!) and some other worldcup talent throughout the year and I see the 
opposite.  Lea is a true model for what sport should be at the highest 
level - she's actively involved in VT cycling community and great role 
model for aspiring young athletes (http://littlebellas.com/).  Always 
positive, approachable and incredibly grateful and humble.  Another local 
hero,Ted King (pro-tour rider), just led a ride out of Burlington to 
benefit the Colorado Red Cross.  That guy has a wicked sense of humor and 
is pretty down to earth considering the inhuman wattage he can throw down.

I realize it's probably not the norm, but there are definitely some

support of their communities, and they find ways to give back.

[RBW] Old-school 200k Frankfort to the Grand Traverse Light and back

[Lynne Fitz]

I took Bleriot along on summer vacation in Michigan, and scouted out a new 
281km permanent route. This was old-school - subsisting on food I found 
along the way. Given my strangely picky stomach and proclivity to bonk, it 
still worked out well, even on such a hot, humid day. Of course, there is 
nothing wrong with a root beer float :-)

Nice, thanks for posting, Lynne.  This is inspirational for a (small-frame) 
Bleriot owner whose bike is feeling neglected these days!  Steve

Thanks for posting. Your photos bring back great memories when I visited 
Alaska a few years ago. Your tour must have been awesome.Bill

Thanks, Lynne.  Bleriot looks happy and the ride looks terrific.  Love the lake shots - chop and sunset. JoanWhose small Bleriot rides around Arlington and DC regularly but hasn't been on a trip for a while.

[RBW] Nice tour photos

[PATRICK MOORE]

Kelly and Lynne, thanks for the photos. Compared to our mid '90s
Alaska looks wonderful; wouldn't mind those misty backgrounds! Lynne,
I expect Michigan was hotter, but not as hot as WDC in the photos that
were almost as interesting as those of the tour -- brought back
memories of 25 years ago when I lived in the District.

Re: [RBW] Trifecta of Big Bike Goodness for sale on the 'bay

Good to hear, Robert. When I originally saw them I hoped it wasn't a
distress sale due to illness/financial situation. Still a bummer that you
can't keep all that steel goodness in your garage!

[RBW] Bosco and Rivet

[Brian Hanson]

I've added Bosco bars to my Riv'd '88 Miyata with a top-down shot (related
to the prior post request).

http://stonehog.wordpress.com/2012/08/02/bosco-bars/

I also picked up a Rivet Pearl to try out on my Hunqapillar.  No long rides
yet, but I have some pics and a bit of a comparison with a B17 and Titanico
(SA) if you're interested.

Kelly, thanks for posting the photos. Amazing scenery. I imagine the 
pictures don't really do it justice. Any bear sightings? How about 
mosquitos, were they out in force?

Agreed - awesome glacier and mountain scenes!  I also love the open tent in
"bug country" - that was brave!
