[RBW] Re: How long does the rivbike.com $75+ free shipping via USPS take?

It's likely the holiday shipping madness. I'm sure you'll have it by 
Friday.

[RBW] Paul Jono Hub?

[Tony DeFilippo]

I know Paul Components is thought of well around here, I love the brakes 
and levers I have for sure.  One of their niche hubs just went on sale, the 
Jono... anyone have any experience w/ them?  It's got an incredibly 
adjustable axle allowing you to build it up as anywhere from 120-135mm OLD 
and use a multi-speed freewheel.  I happen to have a '70s ish era frame w/ 
narrow spacing around that is right now limited to single speed/fixie use 
b/c I don't have a narrower multispeed hub so it's pretty compelling at 
$105 new from Paul.  I'd been stalking a couple vintage used hubsets on the 
auction site but hadn't pulled the trigger.  I figure I can't go wrong w/ a 
Paul hub but I figured I'd check in with the group!

Re: [RBW] Re: Winter Welcome Wagon [Share Your Pics]

[ascpgh]

Nice pics and write up, Tony. More style points for giving it a go in the 
face of that weather. My city streets commute Monday and Tuesday was very 
cold (15-20°) with powdery snow accumulating on already cold pavement, 
starting not long before the morning commute began. The snow in the 
compacted wheel paths was crunchy and not at all bound to the road beneath, 
slicker than ice when trying to change speed or direction. A great time to 
be over to the right in the unbroken snow. Didn't have the opportunity to 
stop or take pictures, the morning didn't sink in as the beginning of the 
long cold part of the year. Looks like the studded tires are on for a while 
now, all take care out there.

[RBW] FS: Albastache bars, Grand Bois Hetre tires (pair), Pletscher rack

[DS]

Albastache bars and hertre's are spoken for. 

Pletscher rack remains, just reread my post and want to clarify that it has the 
rear tail light adapter, not an actual light. 

Also have a Nitto front M-18 rack I posted as a trade in another post. Will 
sell outright and just buy a new Marks rack if no one is interested in a trade. 
$90? Let me know if interested.

[RBW] Re: Knobbies for 26" Atlantis

[Montclair BobbyB]

For me tire preference is a funny thing. I generally like to buy cheaper 
tires (perhaps like most), unless I know exactly what I need for a 
particular bike in which case I say spare no expense. But when I'm just not 
sure I much prefer to experiment with cheaper tires (and I have found some 
that are a great value).  One low-risk, low-cost option I opted for on my 
Cimarron was the Nashbar Fuel (26' small block knobby) - I have been riding 
these for the past 6 months or so and have been so far pleased.  For 
fast-rolling and cushiness I prefer the Schwalbes ( Kojak, Fat Frank or Big 
Apple...none of which work well in sloppy conditions). But for about $18 
apiece and with a good balance of all around roll, cushiness AND off-road 
traction, the Fuels are definitely working well for me.

[RBW] Thank you Rich Lesnik

[redsydude]

 

On 16 Dec there was a web special for an already built dyno wheel.  I put 
it in my cart as a Christmas present and while I was figuring out which 
lights to get with the wheel, someone else bought and paid for it.   So I 
ordered the Schmidt wheel with a three week lead time knowing that it 
wouldn’t arrive until after the New Year.  Then on 22 Dec I got a call from 
Rich telling me the wheel was done and he was shipping it.  It arrived at 
5:30 pm on 24 Dec.  The point of this is that Rich must have figured that 
this was probably a Christmas gift and he saved me from my (annual) 
procrastination crisis.  That was really, really nice and others have used 
this group to acknowledge when Rivendell went above and beyond so I am too.

[RBW] Re: Paul Jono Hub?

For me the big risk is that nobody makes a good freewheel.  For good 
freewheels, you are stuck trolling the NOS market, for the most part, or 
accepting the Shimanopore quality level.  

The secondary risk is that when freewheel hubs first stretched to 130mm 
people had more problems with axles bending and breaking.  Paul probably 
has addressed that with his beefy aluminum axle, so I wouldn't worry too 
much about that.  

This is just an assumption, but to my eye the left flange seems WY far 
to the left.  The math of spoke tension guarantees that those spokes will 
be really loose.  I'd be a little worried about those really loose spokes 
wanting to loosen themselves up.  I would want to talk with a trusted 
wheelbuilder that has used that hub before I did anything with it.  My 
first contact would be Mike Varley, who likes Paul a lot and is a trusted 
wheelbuilder to me.  If he told me it's fine, I trust it would be fine.

Not lugged. Possibly brazed. And ovalized seat tube. Very much like the
Ritchey bikes. I won't comment on price. To the right person it might be
fair. The seller does have "or best offer" .

Always loved the lines of the early mountain bikes. Not in the market for
one. Most of those early bikes that ended up in Minnesota have died of rust.

It's gorgeous, I admit; I see the same thinking in the vintage BMW market;
Valuations go out the window. Granted, $2200 for a totally capable pretty

[RBW] Fwd: 20% off Cotton Analogy for a limited period

[Deacon Patrick]

Ventile on the outside, amazing fur analogy layer underneath. Not the lightest 
or cheapest system out there, but in my experience, the best I’ve tried. Hardy 
and amazing, it breathes like a cotton t-shirt and is water proof from the 
outside, so I don’t get wet from either direction when riding hard.

I use the Liathach Extreme Smock and love it. When biking, I leave the side 
zips up (they end at the hips) and tuck the front under and up for full, free 
leg movement with still having full rain coverage (if wearing my ventile 
knickers).

Now, 20% off from Hilltrek in Scotland.

I’m not part of or compensated by Hilltrek, I just love their gear.

With abandon,
Patrick

That's interesting. What about the Interloc Racing (IRD)'s freewheels:
 
http://store.interlocracing.com/cl5fr.html
 
I thought Riv was selling them, but looking at their website I don't see it.

Is the left flange further out then a flange found  on a standard Shimano 
8/9/10 or even 11 speed cassette hub? which place the bearings outboard of 
the freehub.  Or what about a Campy cassette rear hub that has the bearing 
inside of the freehub body, but uses a very large oversized axle?

[RBW] robbing the grave / WTB: MB-1 or MB-2 fork

[Joe Bunik]

Hi all,

Suddenly find myself scratching around to see if I can unearth a
nicer, old 1" rigid MTB fork to replace the one I just destroyed on my
19" 1989 Specialized RockCombos.

A Koski Dura-Trac or Ritchey Logic seem (just about) the holy grail
for this task. These forks were available aftermarket, but also were
spec'd with the MB-1 and MB-2. So... maybe somebody here has a corpse
in the basement they want to dismember? ;-)

Am looking for one with ~170mm / 7" length of 1" steerer. Threaded or
gasp, threadless would be fine by me. Or maybe you have a suggestion
for other nicer/classic unicrowns, with large OD and nice dropouts and
giving neutral handling, something ~1.75" rake. I've heard suggestions
already about the Dimension and Kona P2.

Thanks!

[RBW] Re: Wow, I mean, just wow

['Chris Lampe 2' via RBW Owners Bunch]

Price seems reasonable to me as long as everything listed is true.  If I 
was an early MTB collector and had just a bit more disposable income, I 
wouldn't bat an eye at paying that price for that bike.

[RBW] Re: Wow, I mean, just wow

[Montclair BobbyB]

Actually these initial batches were TIG-welded (apparently to fulfill 
production obligations while the Tim Neenan-designed frame lugs were being 
cast).  Note the plain Stumpjumper lettering on this frame. I always regarded 
the lugged Stumpies as a big improvement over these early TIG models, but agree 
this so collectible the price isn't too far out of line; this will surely hold 
it's value (because it's so rare).

[RBW] Re: Wow, I mean, just wow

[Mike Schiller]

not so much of a wow these days, as they show up from time to time and the 
geometry kinda stinks ( relative to what you can get today)... but in 1982 
for those of us old enough to ride this size bike... that was way more than 
wow... it was like a whole new world opening up.

[RBW] FS: tektro CR720 cantis, Stainless Front Rack, SR Sakae Randnner handlebars

[drew beckmeyer]

*-Tektro CR720 cantilevers. - * 40$ shipped
2 pairs (bike's worth) basically brand new. maybe 25 miles on them. silver 
finish

*-LKLM stainless steel front rack-*  85$ shipped
impulsively pulled the trigger on this front rack from chinese touring 
brand lklm.  someone on crazyguyonabike was impressed by them, and it 
wasn't super pricey, so i took a chance. stainless tubular cr-mo (very 
similar to tubus). 55lb capacity. fits 700c bikes. i really wanted this to 
work, as i was also impressed when i received it. the LBS was also super 
into it too. the design seems somewhat unique and to solve some of the 
problems of integrating lowriders and a flat top area. unfortunately, with 
50mm tires on my hunqapillar, it didnt comfortably leave enough room for 
fenders.  requires mid-fork eyelets.  here are some photos. i can send you 
some of my own, if youre interested.

*Vintage Sakae RANDNNER bars-* 18$ shipped
i have 2 of these that came off of miyata 1000s circa '85. just want them 
gone.

Apparently you can call Don Koski and he'll build you a fork:
