[RBW] Re: WTB: Nitto quill adapter, 130mm

[Garth]

Ben's Cycle in Milwaukee is always a go-to place to find Nitto things, and 
these stem adapters are no different. The folly of looking for these 
adapters is that they go by many different names and, the model numbers get 
mixed up, and the photos shown are often of a different variation. So of 
course Ben's has them, and the photo isn't the specific model, so right on 
que !  The description is correct however. Do email them to confirm, as 
they are responsive to emails, it's often Drew , as I recall. Their price 
includes complimentary shipping over $49. I really like their business, and 
that it's a real classic bike shop, and it's Wisconsin and I love me some 
Midwest sensibilities !

Thank you, both. I tried that one branded as Soma, Wes, and it was too 
tall; I'll get hold of Ben's Cycle and confirm things, Garth. 

I agree with your thumbs up for Midwestern sensibilities; I'm thinking 
seriously about returning to the Driftless area for all the riding and more 
that it offers.

[RBW] Re: WTB: Nitto quill adapter, 130mm

[Garth]

Driftless ... did you say Driftless Tom ? !!!  I was just talking about 
this with my brother a few weeks ago. and what a treasure it is. I grew 
up in Rochester, MN and I regularly rode to Winona and back in the 80's. 
I'd also stay at hotels on the Wisconsin side and take day trips around by 
bike. Oh heck, I guess I did tours on both sides of the river too, so many 
good memories of those summers. A buddy and I planned a whole tour around a 
Rush concert in LaCrosse only to find out it was cancelled when we got 
there.  laughing heartily   I can hear his tape recorder belting 
out Billy Idol's. "White Wedding" and "Hot in the City Tonight" and 
it was hot  like 100 and humid as humid can be there in the summer. The 
most memorable bottle of Gatorade I ever had was at a Mom and Pop shop 
outside of Rushford, I can still feel that chilly glass bottle in my hand 
and oh what a refresher it was. Oh how I love me some Midwest sensibilities 
indeed !

While I live in Ohio now, it has those same sensibilities. I live in my 
driftless-like area along the Ohio River which is very much like the 
Mississippi River valley but on a smaller scale, so it's more easily 
accessible from my house. 

The beauty in telling stories is in the speaking, animating them ;)

[RBW] FS: Road Holland mens LS jersey - pristine cond

[Brian Turner]

I purchased this really great-looking jersey back when they first came out, 
but despite how it looks, I'm just not a jersey / kit wearing kind of guy. 
I can only think of one time this was ever worn, and it has languished in 
my closet ever since. Non-smoking household, but you may find a stray 
Aussie hair or two!

Grey, long-sleeve, full-zip. Men's MEDIUM size. 61%/39% poly/wool blend. 
Orange and white details and embroidered logos. Triple pockets on the back, 
plus a zippered pocket and reflective trim on the top hem of pockets.

$50 shipped CONUS. Please message me direct for inquiries.

[RBW] Re: Rivendell paint color repetition: Your thoughts

[Brian Turner]

Crust Bombora owner here, so I have no reservations whatsoever about pink / 
lilac / weird colored bikes. The more the better!
Personally, I agree with Leah in that I find the Rivendell colors look best 
when they're sparklin'. The only non-metallic Riv color I've ever been 
attracted to is that mustard color of the Clem / Appaloosa. I'd like to see 
them move away from the non-metallic oranges and blues... and I'd love to 
see more of the weird gold, mustard-y tones and maybe more variations on 
silver.

[RBW] Book Recommendation: The United States of Adventure

[Bicycle Belle Ding Ding!]

I’ve been sad about our temperamental weather here in southwest Michigan. 
After a perfectly sublime week of 70-something temps that set off our 
tulips and daffodils and flowering trees, we are back to drizzly weather 
topping out in the 40s. I’m freezing over here. I have an Apple Watch tan 
line but am back to wearing a parka. Make it make sense. 

Anyway, if you can’t have your real adventures I suppose you can read about 
someone else’s. I stumbled across The United States of Adventure by Anna 
McNuff and have been reading as Anna, a British woman in the corporate 
world in her 20s, cycles her way through all 50 states. I will never cycle 
through all 50 states, but it is fun to peer into the life of someone who 
did.

https://www.amazon.com/United-States-Adventure-life-changing-journey/dp/1914074033

Enjoy.
Leah

[JAS]

Thank you for this recommendation, Leah!  After reading the short glimpse 
of the book on Amazon, Ann McNuff looks to be a very talented and 
entertaining writer.  It's also nice to find a travel "adventure" book 
written with a woman's perspective.  I'm ordering it!

RivSisters!

Re: [RBW] Re: WTB: Nitto quill adapter, 130mm

[Tom Goodmann]

What a good story, Garth!  I can remember that moment in time too--sorry
about Rush cancelling, though--including bike touring on those 100-degree
Midwest days on a Schwinn Le Tour.  That's a pretty area of Ohio you are in
now, yes, nice for motorcycling too.

Although Mom-and-Pops stores have been replaced by Dollar Generals, the
Driftless is still a beautiful area with a strong sense of itself as a
distinctive region, whatever maps demarcate as state lines, and that river
running through it.  There are active randonneuring chapters in WI and MN
and of course seasonal riding any day.  Might be home again!

[RBW] Los Angeles Riv Ride

[Houston Wilson]

Hi socal Riv riders,

I've been lurking in the RBW Owners Bunch for a little while and I'm 
inspired by all of the regional rides being organized. Would anyone be 
interested in doing a LA Riv ride/meetup at some point in May? I'd love to 
ride with y'all, make some new friends, and ogle at your bikes! 

Depending on where most folks are located, I think it could be cool to do 
the Will Rogers inspiration loop in the Western Santa Monica's or a 
Griffith Park/Hollywood Sign moment. Regardless, it'd be a chill pace with 
a cafe stop or two thrown in. 

I'd love to hear from you, let me know your thoughts!

-Houston from Venice

Anyone holding a short version of this:

I am looking for a 60 mm version if you've got one!

Thanks,

Re: [RBW] Hi y’all - new Sam in town

[Daniele]

Hey Eric!
as you might have seen from Jason's reply. LA chouette (rue du chateau
d'eau) is definitely one of the best bike shops in Paris. friendly and with
a lot of cool stuff and in a really cool neighborhood full of really good
food joints. not a lot of other options except for the BEasty Bikes stores
(one in the 15th and one in the 3rd)

Jason! yes definitely! happy to meet up. send me a PM and we can set it up
