[RBW] An Appaloosa build video

[brendonoid]

A first time try at a filming/editing project by my partner and I. Footage 
is from April 2021. For the bike savvy there are a lot of non-sequiturs 
here.

Thanks for your time and I hope you enjoy!

That was fun to watch - thanks for taking the time to make it. Gotta love 
the cup & cone BB! You put grease in all kinds of places I've never thought 
to put grease. A little woodworking thrown in is right up my alley. The 
build turned out great. Would love to have seen it ride off into the sunset 
at the end, but maybe that's the next chapter. Keep 'em coming.

Nice! It's fun watching someone who clearly knows what they're doing build 
a bike. You make it look so easy! Love the blue accents with the orange 
frame...even down to the blue lacing on the saddle and the blue ferrules. 
You sure have an excellent eye for detail!

 Hello Heather, I just wanted to pop in here quickly to say hello and

 a Riv without ever riding one -- and it is just an unbelievably wonderful

[RBW] Ron's Ortho Bars in stock at Crust

[Eric Marth]

Some have cyclers have been waiting for these, Ron's swept-back super wide 
bars. They quietly went up on the Crust site this week. I believe these are 
based on Bosco bars that Ron modified by somehow flattening and bending 
them to make 'em wider.

[RBW] FS > 9-Speed Shimano Cassettes, NEW

[David Hallerman]

Hi!

My TK downsizing sale begins with cassettes. Who doesn't use cassettes? 
Okay, you folks who still prefer freewheels.


But otherwise, all the cassettes here are new, except a near-new one 
that has a mere 58 miles usage and was removed only because I sold the 
frameset. And all the cassettes are Shimano 9-speed, except for one SRAM 
8-speed that fits on Shimano hubs. All prices includes shipping in CONUS 
if the buyer covers the Paypal fee. Photos available on request, and 
questions quickly answered.


Thanks for looking.

Re: [RBW] Re: Suggestions for better braking?

[Toshi Takeuchi]

I agree, centerpull brakes might be the best option. The Paul Racers should
work great, but may require a bit of tire deflation to mount the wheel,
depending upon the width of your tires.  Mafac raid or Compass bolt ons
should also work equally well, but expensive.  I have not tried the
DiaCompe 610s, but that would be a cheap try--much cheaper than a new frame!

Best of luck!

['John Phillips' via RBW Owners Bunch]

Thanks for posting, I've been wanting to try out these bars since I first 
saw a photo of them in one of Ron's emails 11 months ago, and they're 
nearly sold out already.

Ron said they'd be something line 67-69cm, but I didn't see too many spec's 
listed. Does anyone know how wide these bars are?

Getting off-topic here but shipping from Crust is outrageous. $14 to ship 
just the bars to me (I'm an hour away from the by car). If I add two rolls 
of Newbaums shipping jumps to $30!! It had to be said. Thanks for

Re: [RBW] Re: Ron's Ortho Bars in stock at Crust

['John Phillips' via RBW Owners Bunch]

Maybe send Crust an email? 

Maybe there's a glitch in their shipping calculator, an extra $16 to ship 2 
rolls of Newbaum's seems weird.

 Ron said they'd be something line 67-69cm, but I didn't see too many

[RBW] Rivendell Inventory

[Doug H.]

Covid has wreaked havoc on the bicycle industry as well as many others. 
Supply Chain is the latest phrase we all know too well these days. But, 
Rivendell needs in my humble non-business owner opinion to buy more 
inventory. I seem to remember they like to pay for all purchases without 
using a credit line and that seems reasonable at first thought. But, I 
think they would increase sales to a large extent if they would bring in 
more product. A case in point are the knickers that went up for sale and 
sold out in two days! Brass headset spacers are rarely available. The list 
goes on.

Just a thought I had as I was ready to buy a pair of knickers to no avail.

Re: [RBW] Re: Ron's Ortho Bars in stock at Crust

[Taylor M]

I second sending Crust an email.

I suspect whatever algorithm they're using to compute shipping costs 
doesn't take into account packing considerations, namely whether an item 
adds significant weight to or changes the size of the package. I ordered 
the bars + a hat and shipping was a little over $40. I was distracted so I 
didn't notice until after the fact, but they processed and shipped my order 
quickly and refunded $25 without me saying anything. This also wasn't the 
first time Crust has proactively refunded part of my order's shipping cost.

Re: [RBW] Re: Ron's Ortho Bars in stock at Crust

[Ed Carolipio]

Concur with Taylor on Crust shipping. I thought their shipping charges were 
insane but actual shipping was a lot less and they refunded the difference 
after they created the shipping label. You can call/e-mail to verify but 
that was my experience the two times I bought from them last year.

Re: [RBW] Re: Ron's Ortho Bars in stock at Crust

[Bones]

Thanks for the head's up. I saw these on Ron's Atlantis a while back and 
was intrigued. I managed to snag a set before they vanished. About the 
shipping: I've ordered many things from Crust and I regularly receive 
adjustments for the difference in actual shipping costs once my stuff 
ships. $30 is steep, but I doubt you would ever end up paying that.

Re: [RBW] Rivendell Inventory

[rltilley]

Riv has been like this for years. I remember having a credit with them and 
looking around for something that met two criteria: 1. I needed it and 2. It 
was in stock. The items in the intersection of the two circles in that Venn 
diagram was a very, very small set.

I tend to not even bother looking at their site anymore since most of what I 
need never seems to be in stock.

Re: [RBW] Re: Ron's Ortho Bars in stock at Crust

[Michael Williams]

Just a heads up to the group if you missed out on the Crust ortho bars:  there 
is a fellow who makes all types of handlebars under the moniker DoomBars on 
instagram.   He does a lot of swoopy albatross style bars.   I’ve ordered 2 
pairs from him over the last couple years.   He’ll do any sweep/ rise/ width.   
It’s really actually awesome.  He’s really great to work with.  They’re made of 
steel.  Very strong but not too heavy.   When I ordered I think they were 
either $100 or $120 might have gone up, not sure.  If you’re looking for custom 
bars they’re hard to beat.   -Mike

Re: [RBW] Re: question and WTB for two new country builds

[mbaquerizo]

Jason - rack received and installed. bonus was the struts were a perfect length 
for my wife's mark rack to go straight to the fork ends. I used hers to go to 
my mid seat stay braze ons. win win win. happy new year. thank you again 

Best,

 thanks for the recommendations and suggestions - managed to get a matching 
 rear thumbie for the bike, and went ahead and ordered a set of paul levers 
 because they'll likely be the last set of levers we'll ever need. been 
 really digging old shimano mtb stuff lately but didn't want to hold out 
 waiting for something in good condition. 
 
 i think i might get an r14 rack eventually, i like the ones without the 
 tombstone. erlen is out of the question, as is the bagman support as i 
 think those are better for barrel shaped bags than for the riv offerings. 
 heck, even a marks rack would do, but i already put one of those on my 
 wife's bike. probably shouldn't steal it from her just yet.
 
 the pec deck is an idea i've considered, but no, the slim sucker does not 
 have any webbing  on the bottom which is a bummer, but it's small so 
 probably would have been overkill. 
 
 im gonna call riv tomrrow to ask about the kickstand. so far the rat tail 
 filing out the hole to the left seems to make the most sense, and i get 
 with enough torque there wouldn't be any reason for the kickstand to move 
 back and forth along the elongated hole. we'll see if they cosign this 
 idea or have a better one. i'm sure they've dealt w it before.
 
 thanks everyone - better pics to come hopefully this weekend.

[RBW] Re: An Appaloosa build video

[brendonoid]

What a barrage of positivity! Thank you, everyone.
I will have to get used to building bikes with a camera in the way I guess? 

Eric, good eye! I didn't realise my cap was even in the video. 
The spacers are some 4-5mm axle mods that came with a random Ebay jockey 
wheel set. I wish I knew where to get them seperately because they turned 
out to be very useful. I have also used them in nitto struts to centre 
them.

Re: [RBW] Re: Ron's Ortho Bars in stock at Crust

[brendonoid]

I've been waiting since February last year for these bars and have checked 
the website at least once a week in that interval. I really wanted them for 
a Susie build.

They are now sold out.

*sigh*

[Joe Mullins]

I had a set in my shopping cart and got sidetracked at work and when I 
checked back an hour later they were sold out :-(
