[RBW] Chicago shops

2012-11-21 Thread Ken Karpowicz

Any recommendations on Chicago area bike shops leaning less towards, or a good 
combination of, the mass market and more towards, maybe, fixed and 
single-speed, more Bobish and Rivish?

Thanks for any help.

Boulevard Bikes in Logan Square, Cicli Urbano in Humboldt Park, Roscoe 
Village Cycles on Roscoe in Roscoe Village and Blue City Cycles in 
Bridgeport.  All great stores with focus on what you are describe.
 
Boulevard Bikes, the oldest of the bunch, sold some of the last Herons.

The Abus are heavy, but IMO being able to store them on the down or seat 
tube bottle cage spot makes the weight very easy to manage while riding.  
The bike is a little heavier going up the stairs to my apartment though.

> It's an airbag for your head ... Are not airbags explosive devices ?
 
The force needed to propel modern air bags is much less now than even a few 
years ago, let alone the 1980s when the technology was first evented.
 
I see this as a very good idea by some young people with minimal 
resources.  With luck a well established company picks up on it and makes 
improvements to what is already a good start.

Without going into too much detail... here's a northsider's perspective:

There's a couple amazing bike collections worth checking out on display at 
Cycle Smithy and Oscar Wastyn. Yojimbo's Garage is the premier track/fixie 
shop, with The Bike Lane a close second. Tati Cycles is an enigma I haven't 
quite figured out...

I'd say that Boulevard Bikes is the most Bobish, and is worth visiting if 
you want service done or to see more "obscure" retail objects things like 
honjo fenders, BQ magazine, berthoud bags, and Handsome Bikes.

Both my experience (living in the miasmatic swamps of Metro DC) and
dimly remembered research that showed heads are cooler with helets than
bare in the summer sun, contradict that statement.  Nobody here seems to
have any trouble with helmets in the summertime, and believe me we have
some serious summertime here.  Now the idea of wearing a big thick
collar around my neck in the summer -- ridiculous.  I don't care what
it's made of.

Re: [RBW] Lock question

2012-11-21 Thread Jim Thill - Hiawatha Cyclery
Sorry to put words in your mouth/keyboard Joe! By "too precious to ride" I also 
include "too precious to lock up", since locking up a bike is part of riding 
it, at least for me. I have some fancy/expensive bikes, but I've never liked 
the feeling of having so much tied up in a bike that it could only be used 
under limited circumstances.

I have a hunch that our fancy Rivs and such are actually somewhat 
theft-resistant. The average theif knows a Trek is a good bike, but who the 
heck is A Homer Hilsen, and why is his name on his bike?! I've been in the bike 
biz about 8 years now, and local people tell me when their bikes have been 
stolen. Most bikes that get stolen are not expensive, but just in the wrong 
place at the wrong time, and most of the time they're not locked at all. 
Locking the bike in ANY fashion is MUCH more important than having a great 
lock. Closing the garage door when the bike is parked inside would prevent the 
vast majority of bike thefts.

Hmm, my choice of rides is only "limited" by common sense, here in NYC
people will steal anything that isnt nailed down and even then they will
try. I would rather use my around town bike for what it is used for, around
town 5 minute rides that really arent that "fun" and save my bombadil for
longer jaunts around town where I can actually enjoy myself. I know a lot
of you live in more suburban areas where the idea of doing errands is a bit
more relaxed and you can go places and lock up and not be worried about the
bike being gone when you come back but I worked as a Barista for many years
and would see bikes get stolen right in front of the store, and when you
call the cops they could care less.  Again, I envy you suburban guys, hope

Re: [RBW] Lock question

2012-11-21 Thread Joe Bernard
It's true that everyone's riding environment is different. I don't commute 
because my job is too far, and I use my car for it (transporting disabled 
people on outings, shopping, etc.). I don't tour, either. I go on "rides", 
and grab a different bike for shopping and such, so I'm able to separate 
bikes into riding categories that commuter/tourers can't do. 
 
Of course, all this goes out the window if I take the plunge and buy a 
Faraday next year. $4800 for an electric-assist commuter/shopping bike 
throws everything I've said out the window :)

[RBW] Re: Lock question

2012-11-21 Thread Kevin Mulcahy
A bit of anecdotal data from the Chicago Stolen Bike Registry:

Out of the thousands of reported stolen bikes, the vast majority of the 
bike that were actually locked at the time of theft were "secured" using a 
cable lock. After that comes typical U-locks, incidents in which the thief 
cut the fence (or whatever) the bike was locked too, and bikes locked with 
heavy duty chains. IIRC, There has never been a report of a bike being 
stolen while locked with two separate U-locks. It's seems like you're 
better off with two $40 locks than one $80 lock. The double lock method is 
becoming more common in Chicago.

Yesterday, I went down to the local precinct after the police discovered a 
huge stash of stolen bicycles. I was hoping to find my Gunnar after hearing 
that most of the bikes were hybrids and mtbs. Almost all of the bikes were 
low quality hybrids...

Also, locking skewers won't keep your bike from being stolen. And, be sure 
to insure your bikes.

This article was written by the chairman of Rondale Inc., publisher of

Agreed.  No one in their right mind would wear something like that in
Tucson during the summer.

Here in Chicago anyway, my head gets hotter wearing a helmet than not.
 
On the other hand, a towel soaked in cool water around my neck cools me 
down.  Certainly no reason someone could not put water on the collar.

2012-11-21 Thread Lynne Fitz
I've got a very pretty Bleriot.  It goes everywhere, and is often locked 
outside.  Kryptonite U-Lock with a Kryptonite thickish braided cable to get 
both wheels.
1) make it harder to steal than the ones it is parked next to.
2) of course, the Speedplay Frog pedals might be a bit of a deterrent :-)
3) strip off easily removable accessories - pump, lights that just clip on, 
etc.  My B&M IQ Fly stays on - pain to unbolt, and worthless without the 
wheel.

2012-11-21 Thread IanA
Hi Forrest,

Apologies for the direct contact, but I was going through the archives and 
found your post.  I wanted to ask you about tire clearances on your 
LongLow. I have just impulse bought a 97 double Joe (Stark/Bell) LongLow 
with the canti brake studs and also the option of side pulls. It seems to 
be the same size as yours (58.5 TT and 57 ST ctr to ctr).  

You mention you had Jack Browns on there (33.3mm wide) on yours. Mine is 
just the frame/headset/fork right now and I'm in the process of acquiring 
parts and I'm trying to figure out clearances for tires.  When you had the 
JB's on yours, did you also have fenders?  And what sort of room was there?

Thank you,
Ian
(Edmonton, AB, Canada).

[RBW] Re: Options for making a Quickbeam a multi speed

2012-11-21 Thread Michael Rivers
http://flic.kr/p/6WjpJ4

Front and rear der with friction thumbies to make a three speed. Dos Eno in the 
back, and the original QB Sugino crank in the front.  I enjoyed doing a century 
with this transmission, but at the time I didn't have a bike with gears that 
was as comfortable. I never had to change a flat during the six months I rode 
this way, but that would have been a prolonged pitstop...  

I switched it to fixed with a new Phil hub rear wheel right after,  where it 
has stayed to this day. I rode the Cape Cod Bike Trail yesterday, and it is 
still my favorite bike to ride even though my stable has increased since then.

[RBW] Riv rider in Canyon (Moraga, CA) today?

2012-11-21 Thread Aaron Thomas
I was trudging up a hill when another rider – looked like he might have 
been riding a Rivendell – crested from the other side and ding-ding belled 
me. Anyone on this list? The sun was in my eyes so I couldn't get a good 
look.

[RBW] Re: [BOB] lance news

2012-11-21 Thread numbnuts
Hey All,
...as if cycling is the only sport in which this occurs...what a jokeI 
have very clear memories, both very recent and tens of years old, of both 
pro football and pro baseball players who are so 'roided' out that they can 
hardly function. And when it comes to egos, cyclists are merely also rans. 
So this was a crap read, IMO.

Regards,
Chris

Patrick Moore, who is  culturally so clueless than he has no idea what you are 
talking about.

But if it's a party, I am in agreement (as long as we say grace beforehand)

[RBW] Holiday Flyer

2012-11-21 Thread Joe Bernard
Here's a PDF of the Holiday Flyer from *eight years ago.* It's located in 
the latest pre-Thanksgiving Blug, and...*eight years ago.* I have one of 
these lying around somewhere, and I'm just a bit stunned that that much 
time has passed. There's some neat things in it, including a hatchet, and 
evidence that Meisha has been at Rivendell *at least eight years!* Enjoy.

2012-11-21 Thread Joe K
I have the print copy somewhere too.  Do you know why the prose is
sometimes a bit odd (though perfectly readable)?  No letter E is used
anywhere.  Must have taken a lot of thought (& edits)  to put
together.
