[RBW] WTB: 25.4mm Riser Handlebar

[C.J. Filip]

WTB 25.4mm clamp riser-type handlebar.  Examples include Answer Alumalite 
Riser Bar, Rtichey has one, Kalloy, ect.  Aluminum preferred to steel.  
Looking for 40-60mm of rise.  550mm+ width.  

The offerings for new bars with my specs are very affordable, however, I 
try to buy used whenever possible.  These will be going on a mid-90s 
Independent Fabrication Deluxe single speed mountain bike build.

Thanks!

Clark in north Idaho.

[RBW] Re: Quickbeam/Simple One as Singletrack MTB?

[C.J. Filip]

Having discovered the joys of riding a cross-ish setup bike ('86 B-stone 
T700 w/ mustache bars) on our local offroad offerings, a 40-32 XD double 
just arrived from Rivbike for the S1.  I think the fatter tires than 27x1 
3/8" and the simpler nature of gearing will make it tons o fun offroad.

[RBW] Re: Atlantis fitment

[C.J. Filip]

5'10," PBH 85-85.5cm, saddle height 75cm.  My 56cm Atlantis fits great
but lately I have been wanting a 58.  Hearing that individuals with
slightly "lower" PBH's than my own is firmly supporting my hunch that
58cm may be the way to go.

Soapscum - do you know for sure what type of riding you will want to
do with the Atlantis?  I ask because lately I have been using mine as
a mountain bike on smooth but technical singletrack here in north
Idaho and wonder if the larger frame coupled with 700c wheels might
make trail riding a little trickier considering the boys downstairs.
Also, ask yourself what width tires you will use.  I run 50mm actual
Michelin Country Dry2 ($13 each! 600g) and they subtract from
standover significantly.

[RBW] WTT 56cm Atlantis

[C.J. Filip]

The fine tuning of fit on my beloved 56cm Atlantis has finally reached
the point where I think I need a larger frame.  Saddle height keeps
going up, a setback post has been added and a longer stem is desired
and I still want to stretch out more!

Looking to trade the frame/fork, headset (cheap but awesome Tange),
and wheels for a 58 or 61 Atlantis or 59 AHH frame.  Might consider
the 58 650B Hilsen, Saluki/Hiluki.  No S&S couplers since I have an
[ignorant] mental block about them.

The wheels are (26"/559 just in case) 32h Salsa Delgado 22.5mm rims
laced to silver Chris King hubs front and back.  The frame is in very
good condition and straight, no dents, dings, just a few spots on
right side of the top tube and right fork leg where it looks like it
rubbed a bike rack.  The headbadge also has two nicks in the enamel in
the sails.

[RBW] WTT: 44cm Mark's bar for 44cm Noodle

[C.J. Filip]

Would like to try some Noodles.  Anyone willing to trade bars?  I'm
not 100% sure they're Mark's but am 100% sure they're Nitto.  Judge
for yourself based on my photos.

[RBW] Re: Advice on Camelbacks

[C.J. Filip]

"Lobo" model here.  Actually don't use the bladder much, opting to put
in an extra water bottle and more food instead.

Right now the bladder is in the freezer and if I use it again it will
get a squirt of lemon juice to cover up the beach ball taste.

On centuries where I'm not likely to come across a convenience store,
I'll take along the large saddle-mounted Baggins and stick the bladder
in there.  On breaks you can drink from the hose and refill your caged
water bottles from there.

[RBW] Re: Low Trail Fork Experiment ... FYI only - Not intended to start another debate...

Rene,

Can you comment on toe overlap between the different forks on your
Atlantis.  It looks like you ride a 58cm and have a small amount of
overlap here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/orthie251/6617229451/in/photostream/.
Very curious to know if the low-trail fork eliminates any TCO as I'm
casually considering going up to a 58 from 56 Atlantis.

[RBW] Re: widest Atlantis 700c tire??

[C.J. Filip]

Not that this answers the OP's question specifically but for the
benefit of future searches.

Currently running 52mm, 50mm actual Michelin Country Dry2 (my favorite
cheapies) tires.  Just barely fitting between the fork and tire is a
Planet Bike Cascadia (ATB version?) fender.  It's very tight.  No
problems with clearance in the rear.  You could run a wider rear tire
and correspondingly wider fender.  I probably run a wider tire than I
should with the fender combo.  Will probably go with 50mm Supremes
next since it seems most get a 46mm actual width.

Re: [RBW] Which bike gets the winter tires?

[C.J. Filip]

I ride a '95 Independent Fabrication mtb with studded tires during the 
northern Idaho winters.  The rear wheel has an WI ENO (eccentric) hub for 
use as a single speed and I've found fixed winter riding to be exhilarating 
and sobering all at the same time.  In summer the tires get switched out 
and the wheel flipped to the freewheel threaded side for dedicated mtb use.

When it snows the deep lugs of the tires are a necessity. Then the snow 
gets packed or there's black ice, the studs are a necessity.  I've been 
riding the same tires for 4 years.

[RBW] Re: The Utility of Mulitple Wheelset's

[C.J. Filip]

Just yesterday took delivery of a second set of 650b wheels.  My intention 
was to keep them light in weight and, well, make them light - with a SON 
dynamo.  The wheelset (36h Rigida Sphynx, LX hub) they compliment are 
Rich-built for touring or winter use.

Mike, you proposed doing this route together with me.  Initial thought was, 
"of course I'll take the Saluki with 41mm Surly Knards."  Now, after 
reading the discussion, the Indy Fabulous Deluxe (Jamis Dragon-like minus 
front suspension) seems like the obvious choice shod with 50mm Michelin

[RBW] Re: When to tighten Brooks adjustment bolt on saddle? 2 questions.

[C.J. Filip]

My short answer would be when tensioning it laterally with cord loses it's 
intended result.  I tensioned my ~2000 B17 and it initially felt tighter but 
soon went back to feeling overly hammocky on my groin.  For now, cord is all 
I'll use to keep it propped up to where I like it and so far so good.  I expect 
to have to tension it via the bolt in the distant future, which amounts to 1-2 
years with my riding habits.

a mixture of bling, the best I could afford, current technology and aesthetics. 
 

I splurged on the dynamo, got a great deal on NOS XTR hubs and they both just 
happen to be sexy.

[RBW] FS: 66cm Peter Mooney

[C.J. Filip]

For sale is a 66cm Peter Mooney.  A phone conversation with the
builder revealed the tubeset is Columbus SP and the frame was built in
'77 or '78.  SN:064.

Seat tube: 66cm
Top tube: 60cm
Stand over: 89cm

A mix of Riv-ish components, all in very serviceable condition.
PLENTY of space between tubing and tire.  There are eyelets on the
dropouts but no other braze-ons for fenders or a rack.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/69091655@N08/?hide_photostream_welcome=1

There is a small spot of rust (bubbling paint) on the left chainstay
just behind the bottom bracket.

I have been commissioned to sell this bike for a friend of mine.  Him
and I have agreed to a starting asking price of $1000, o.b.o.  Buyer
pays shipping.

Thanks

[RBW] Re: Nice post about Grant.

[C.J. Filip]

Between the RR and BQ I've never been happier mixing the philosophies
of Jan and Grant to suit my cycling lifestyle.  Although Jan's bike
selection seems to be pretty Riv-free these days, his Journey of
Discovery and recent homage to Grant have made me realize that Jan
didn't go from training wheels straight to a Singer or Herse.  There
was a progression very much like my own.

My 56cm Atlantis is everything I want in a bike.  I do not miss the
quicker acceleration and handling of my 19# steel road bike with
clearance for 23mm tires and horrible racey geometry because I was
never comfortable on it.

I run everything from 37mm to 55mm tires on it.  It goes down or up
any singletrack trail.  I haul groceries.  It is my camper/RV.  It
looks great.  It is durable and I intend to ride it for quite some
time into the future.

Continuing to keep an eye out for it here in this north Idaho
university town!  I like to think I have tabs on all the [regularly
ridden] Rivs existing within the city limits: 1 Homer and 3 Atlantis'
including mine.

If everyone pays a little more attention to their surroundings, and
it's truly a "Hey! A Riv!" moment to spot one you haven't seen before,
there's a chance of getting Manny's Bleriot back.

Good luck, Manny.  I have a feeling you'll swing a leg over your

[RBW] Re: recent Atlantis changes

[C.J. Filip]

When trying to judge the approximate age of an Atlantis my eyes go
straight to the lugs adorning the head tube.  There seem to be at
least three different lug styles used in production models.  The fork
lugs and braze-on additions seem to have been changed at a different
"pace" than the main lug set.

As my RR collection gets more complete, I'd like to make a timeline.
This will show and prove absolutely nothing but hopefully will be
appreciated by Atlantis fan-boys and girls.

To add and perhaps vindicate those responsible for the now several
batches of Atlanti, perhaps Grant or whoever just got bored with the
lug style at the time and had it changed (I would).  Perhaps a run of
a batch lugs was discontinued.  The Atlantis is the longest running
model after all.  Do other models show lug differences over time?  The
AHH is getting to be a mature model in the line-up and if any of my/
our theories are true a difference in lug style ought to show up
eventually.

Re: [RBW] WTB/try/ect 650B wheels

I actually do want to run narrower (40-44) tires and have a 
more aesthetically pleasing wheel profile while doing so.  Can't get 
fenders to fit right, without a lot of extra fabrication and spacer work, 
with tires less than 50mm wide.

[RBW] Re: WTB/try/ect 650B wheels

[C.J. Filip]

Beautiful.  Looks darn near perfect!

I often wonder if Grant were to design the Atlantis now instead of
1998ish if he would use 650B over 26".

[RBW] Re: A new tent for bicycle camping?

[C.J. Filip]

Used a Big Agnes "Seedhouse" for a number of years backpacking.  It
was plenty light enough, probably too light since the aluminum poles
kept splitting at the ends.  IIRC the Seedhouse may have been in the
low three-pound range so your poles might be a little beefier.  Big
Agnes replaced the poles without hassle or questions.

The Hilleberg tents that Grant and former employee Daniel rave about
are some of the highest quality you can buy yet the weight is right
there with your Lynx Pass.

I'm happy to get 3 seasons out of my backpacking and outdoor gear in
general.  $100 would be money well spent if you stay dry, nothing
breaks or rips and you get some good use out of it, IMHO.

[RBW] WTT: 14-34 5-speed freewheel

[C.J. Filip]

This 5-speed 14-34t Suntour freewheel is from an '86 Bridgestone T700.  I 
replaced the original derailler (XT Deerhead) with a 90's XT model and even 
with a longer B-tension screw, the new derailler just can't accommodate the 
34t cog.

I'd like to trade for a 30t or 32t max high gear 5-speed freewheel. 
 Doesn't have to be Suntour.  I'll throw in the Deerhead derailler if 
sprucing it up for a period-specific resto is your thing.

Re: [RBW] Re: What's that response called, and which model has it?

[C.J. Filip]

Don't forget the 60 and 62 that the Saluki came in before the notion of the 
"Hiluki."  As far as bigger tires, most my early 59cm Hilsen could fit was 
38mm w/ fenders.  My #14 60cm Saluki fits Hetres with fenders.  

Back on topic, I feel my current steed, the Saluki is stouter than the 
Hilsen.  Maybe it's the wheels, but that doesn't really make sense because 
I don't leave the ground.  I measure my frames ability to "plane," or judge 
them to lack it based on their ability to tour with moderate loads, and the 
Saluki is no slouch for that kind of thing, better than my former 59cm 
Hilsen.

[RBW] Re: Headsets and bottom brackets, sexy reliable vs. cheap reliable what's your take?

[C.J. Filip]

Tange Levin HS - cheapy but so good.  Never needs adjustment, in my 
experience.  Will get a silver CK if the Tange ever wears out.

Have a Phil BB but a Shimano UN-5x is currently filling the role with no 
problems.  The Phil will see use again when the Shimano wears out.

I used to downhill on a 8" suspension travel bike.  While my transition to 
Rivs has mellowed me, I still like to go fast down swoopy, rutted, and 
water-barred trails and fire/logging roads.  These well-made overbuilt 
parts haven't let me down yet.
