Re: [RBW] PSA: Early All Rounder

[Matt Beecher]

Some would pay that, but I would not. I’ve got a nearly identical bike, though 
larger, and while it is nice, I cannot imagine it selling for that much, nor 
would I pay.

FWIW, I bought mine dented. The dent almost immediately turned into a crack, so 
I had the tube replaced and got the frameset pc’ed. I have maybe $1k into it 
and I kinda regret that one. 

Best regards,
Matt in Oswego, IL

[RBW] Re: Hot Waxing Chains

[Michael Hechmer]

So.  To come back to this.  I ordered a bottle of Nix Frix Shun NFX, and 
have been using it on my two bikes, my wife's bike and our tandem this 
summer.  The results have been excellent.  I don't know how much is this 
particular lube or is application method, including wiping the outside 
 chain after every ride; but I'm sold.  We ride predominantly on dirt roads 
and gravel bike paths and my chains have remained clean and quiet since 
late May.  Actually, I found after three or four rides I really didn't need 
to wipe the chain.  A big thank you to the people who recommended it.

That's an interesting sale. The seller obviously knows the bike isn't a 
run-of-the-mill old bike with the asking price. But yet, the seller 
expended no effort to clean up the bike for sale, with dirt on the 
headtube, and torn handlebar tape (amongst others) as low-hanging fruit. 
Strangely though, the chain looks to be quite clean. I don't know what to 
make of it.

[RBW] Hunqapillar vs Appaloosa ride quality?

['Gary L' via RBW Owners Bunch]

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for opinions about the ride of a 58 Hunq vs a 58 Appaloosa. I 
know that is pretty specific, but here's why. I just finished building up a 
55 Appaloosa for my wife and we were on a ride this weekend where we traded 
bikes. Both of us remarked that the Appa felt much more lively, smoother, 
and lighter than the Hunq. Seeing how her bike has the awesome 55mm Compass 
EL tires, I traded wheels to see if that would account for the difference, 
but it really didn't make much difference.

So before I start thinking about replacing my beloved grey/kidney bean 
Hunq with an Appaloosa I thought I'd reach out and see if anyone else out 
in Riv land has had experience with both, ideally in my 58 size. Am I just 
imagining the difference??

Thanks for any input you have!

[RBW] WTB Albastache bars

['Gary L' via RBW Owners Bunch]

Hi everyone,

I just finished building up an Appaloosa for my wife (with Choco bars) and 
now after riding my bike with Albastache bars she is wanting to switch to 
those. Riv is out of stock so I'm seeing if anyone here has an extra 
Albastache bar they'd like to re-home. 

Thanks!

[RBW] Hunqapillar vs Appaloosa ride quality?

[Ryan M.]

The Hunqapillar is a pretty stout trail touring bike that basically sat between 
the Atlantis and the Bombadil when it was first coming out. It’s been my 
experience that it rides nicely when loaded down or when riding chunkier stuff. 

The Appaloosa is different, being a bike that sits next to the Atlantis, but 
for a wee bit lighter load and riding style. It is a nice riding bike but I 
think for loaded touring with a bunch of weight, it may get squirrelly.  

If I were doing loaded touring that took me on gravel roads or dirt trails, I’d 
keep the Hunq. It’s built for that. I’d you are just MUP riding, road riding, 
and commuting with it, it’s probably overbuilt.

Sounds like you need a second bike. Lol.

[RBW] Re: Hunqapillar vs Appaloosa ride quality?

[Chris L]

I would love to ride a 54 Hunqapillar and a 55 Appaloosa, set up 
identically, back to back.  I've compared the geometry charts and the only 
real difference is the chainstay length of the Appaloosa.  I have an image 
in my mind of how the Appaloosa would ride and it's a smoother, more stable 
version of my Hunqapillar.  

I've never seen the tubing specs for the Hunqapillar but Will gave me the 
tubing specs for the Appaloosa (don't know which size) and there were 
several "1.x" tube thicknesses in there.  I don't think the Hunqapillar is 
that stout.

Re: [RBW] Photos from Today's Riv Ride

[Elton Lance]

Great photos Eric.  I had my Qb set up the same way: Honjos and 3 speed.  Sold 
it in a weak moment.

Wish I hadn’t.  Sure miss it.

[RBW] WTB another Riv

[Andrew Huston]

Realizing I very much enjoy the simplicity of the Rivendellian philosophy and 
bike design. Hoping to find a nice clean used complete in a medium/55-56 frame. 
I have a medium Jones plus I am looking to offload and could be used as trade 
bait. Let me know what you have.

[RBW] Platypus headbadge

[dougP]

Check out the current Blahg that details the evolution of the upcoming 
Platypus' headbadge. We always knew a good deal of thought went into the 
Rivendell badges & this post shows how much they sweat the details.

[RBW] Re: Photos from Today's Riv Ride

[Jeff B]

As I live in Davis, I should have brought my Quickbeam out and rode about a 
1/4 mile behind you HA!

It is a nice ride out to Winters but can get boring sometimes so I've 
experimented with some creative routes through farm field access roads. So 
far no problems but luck can only take you so far.

Your bike looks great too.

Re: [RBW] Re: Photos from Today's Riv Ride

['Eric Norris' via RBW Owners Bunch]

Actually, we moved to Carmichael a few years ago, so I don’t get to ride to 
Winters very often. I wore a rut into the road when I lived there, but being 
away makes it interesting again.

[RBW] Re: Hot Waxing Chains

[Jeff B]

Not to talk off the topic of chain lubing but, Patrick your rear derailleur 
cable is wrapped under the kickstand plate. Not sure if it makes any 
difference to you but it could lead to the cable breaking prematurely or 
the rear Der being perpetually out of adjustment. Is there room for the 
cable to ride smoothly next to the plate or is a that a GUS quirk?

I have both the OX601 and OX801 cranks, and they're not intended to be run 
as 110BCD doubles. You might possibly be able to do it by using triple 
chainring bolts and spacers between the two rings to get the second 110BCD 
ring at the same sideways location as the existing 74BCD ring, but you 
would have to shorten the female part of the chainring bolts to get it to 
work. I don't think double chainring bolts would work with the additional 
length required for passing through two chainrings plus spacer plus spider.
