[RBW] Re: FS: Homer headbadge

[Paul M]

With the green twin top tube Rosco, it was that I just didn't like the 
rocket ship head badge. With the Homer, I like the head badge design but 
not the dark blue border. However, I did leave the head badge on my Wolbis.

[RBW] Re: New Bike Day X2

[Paul M]

I wouldn't be surprised if RBW dropped the Homer Hilsen from their line-up 
and replaced it with the Charlie H. Gallop (expected next year). Especially 
since it looks to have longish chainstays and uses the same caliper brakes 
as the Homer. Different frame design but similar "country bike" vibes.

[RBW] FS: Nitto Deluxe/Tallux 120mm & Ritchey/Nitto 100mm stems

[Paul M]

The Nitto Tallux stem came off an early model Clem L that had seen very 
little use. I sold the frameset but kept the components. 120mm reach with a 
-17 degree drop but levels out once mounted. 225mm quill. 25.4 handlebar 
clamp. Excellent clean condition with some very faint marks from 
installation. $55 shipped

The Ritchey Force stem is made by Nitto from the early 90's. 100mm reach 
with zero rise but will give ~6 degree rise once mounted. 26.0 handlebar 
clamp. Excellent condition. $60 shipped.

More pictures if interested, just reach out off this site. Thanks, Paul

[RBW] Gus and Susie ride off into the sunset

[Paul M]

If you read the current Rivendell Blahg (Grants blog) he mentions that the 
last fillet brazed Hillibikes, the Gus & Susie shipment that just arrived, 
will be it for that those models being made. So last chance at owning a 
beautiful ATB frameset.

Re: [RBW] Seat Post Slippage

[Paul M]

My recent Susie calls for a 26.8 seatpost but with the stock Kalloy 
seatpost there is a fair amount of play. I had a 27.0 Kalloy seatpost that 
fit snug and solved the problem. I'm not sure a Nitto 26.8 seatpost would 
have solved the problem for this frame.

Re: [RBW] Re: Gus and Susie ride off into the sunset

[Paul M]

I was hoping for a large when they went on sale last year and they 
certainly sold out fast. The XL is fine in the height but it's 68.5cm 
effective top tube is so long. The 56cm has a 66cm top tube length. They 
used a 31.8mm diameter top tube on the XL (like the Gus) and a 28.6mm top 
tube on the 56cm and smaller frames.

Re: [RBW] Re: Lugged Roadini and Charlie H Gallup

[Paul M]

I purchased a Sergio green Roadini from the last run of framesets. The tig 
welding on this frame had some very poor welding beads. Definitely not what 
I would expect on a $1300 frame. Maybe it was just this frame, but I feel 
that it certainly could have been on the other Roadini's. That could 
explain the move to a lugged Roadini frame. I sold it and bought a mustard 
Homer (lugged :).

 really 
 like my solid Mermaid Roadini so I don't feel like I'm missing out. 

 Will the Charlie H Gallup be longer than the Roadini? If so, I do

[RBW] Re: Lael Wilcox

[Paul M]

I listened to her podcast yesterday for the first time and she had only one 
day to go before finishing that truly amazing feat. She mentioned that a 
rider was drafting her too close for quite some time and wouldn't back off. 
It must be that dude staring at his phone.

Re: [RBW] Re: Charlie H Gallop!

I believe the schematic shows an oval top tube. Starts at 25.4 then 
transitions to oval (28.6/22.2). Makes for a more comfortable place to sit 
while stopped.

Re: [RBW] Re: Hillibikes are so close!

The musical instrument decals were originally on the top tube and non-drive 
side chain stays. Now the decals are on the drive side chain stays which a 
lot of riders wrap with cloth tape. You got to like the dark gold color and 
the Breezer style dropouts. Oh ya, and the dobro guitar decal. Thanks for 
the pictures!

[RBW] Steve Potts Siskiyou handlebar dimensions

[Paul M]

Hello, Anybody know the grip length on this particular multi-hand position 
handlebar? Seems like more and more of the alt-handlebars don't have a long 
grip length to spread out the grip, brake lever and thumb shifter 
positions. Thanks.

[RBW] Re: Steve Potts Siskiyou handlebar dimensions

[Paul M]

My thinking was to mount all the controls on the grip part of the handlebar 
and ideally leave the forward extensions free for an alternate hand 
position. This would we give you at least 3 different positions for your 
hands- on the grips, on the forward extensions and on the bar beside the 
stem. 

Thanks for the offer of the Siskiyou bars Mack but I went with Soma 
Fabrications Labor Day sale (20% off) on their Steve Potts inventory.

Re: [RBW] Re: Earl Craig's Atlantis on the Blug

[Paul M]

>From RBW website Grant says this about the Atlantis frame, "Quirk: The 59cm 
and 62cm have "rainbow" tubes that add style and structure by 
triangulation, and a better lifting tube than a standard top tube." For me 
that means aesthetics and practicality.

 In the back of my mind was the side discussion on here or iBob about 
 the supposed deadness of the Surly Cross Check frame. Some forum members 
 -- 
 me included -- insisted the frame was a dog, no question, while others 
 disagreed. As it turned out, those in the former camp had the 56 and those 
 in the latter camp larger sizes. The theory was floated that maybe the 
 frame "opens up," that is, flexes more, in a good way, in the larger sizes 
 -- and with generally heavier riders -- and that accounted for the 
 difference. To me, this seems plausible. And if it's plausible that a 
 frame 
 could improve in this way, then it also seems plausible that, conversely, 
 some frames could open up *too much* and become too flexy, in larger 
 sizes, 
 thus necessitating some modification to maintain the same relative 
 stiffness as in the smaller sizes. 

 Also in the back of my mind was the experience of my larger cycling 
 friends who seem to break more frames than I ever have. But then, that's 
 anecdotal. 

 I don't know if Grant ran any numbers or did any testing before 
 deciding to add the second tube to some bikes. Could just be for looks, or 
 could be a belt and suspenders kind of thing. Or a mix. But I wouldn't say 
 it's totally off base from an engineering point of view. 

 Anyway, you've ridden more 60 (and maybe 60 plus?) size frames than I 
 have, and if you say you don't feel a difference, then I can't argue.

[RBW] Re: CL outting: Bombadil

[Paul M]

Not to dwell on it but take a look at picture #15  and the cantilever post 
shows brazing rod. Also look at the bottom bracket picture and zoom in and 
that looks like classic rust under clear coat. Super nice bike in any case. 
You got to love the double top tube!

[RBW] Re: Weirdest Rivendell ideas?

[Paul M]

The model name "Hunqapillar" that was inspired from a very large mailbox 
some place in the mid-west on Grant's ride across the country. But turns 
out to be my favorite name and Rivendell model. Stick shifting is the only 
way to go if your frame doesn't have a left side cable stop and your 
running a double crankset. Whatever gets you down the road

Hi, This frame fits a true 700x43c tire with a 135mm rear spacing. 
Rivendell did promote it as a road oriented frame mainly by the top tube

[RBW] Re: Charlie H Gallop!

[Paul M]

Grant's blog (blahg) early November No. 30 starts off with a partial 
schematic of a frame design that isn't labeled but looks like part 
Roadini/Clem/Suzie Longbolt. The top tube attaches higher up on the seat 
tube than the Suzie and the wheels show 700c x 2.0. With the lack of being 
able to view the brakes it could be intended for long reach Tektro caliper 
brakes! A mixed-use lower priced compete. Sounds like Charlie H. Gallop.

[RBW] Re: NOS Rivet Leather Saddle w/Ti rails $135

[Paul M]

This saddle came off a new Co-Motion divide that I purchased this summer. 
It was only on the bike for 2 very short rides (20 miles) total. It has the 
length of the Independence model (280mm) but the width of the Sonora model 
(174mm) which makes me think it is an older model.

[RBW] Re: Chocomoose Versions

[Paul M]

Hi, I'm certain there was only one version of the Chocomoose.  Rivendell 
put them up for sale on the 'garage sale' around the time the Butternut 
squash Appaloosa complete ended. Unlike the Rivendell Bullmoose bar which 
will always sweep upwards unless it's on a bike with a very slack headtube 
angle (69/70 degrees) the Chocomoose has a slight downward positioning 
similar to a Albatross bar flipped over and offers  excellent positioning. 
My favorite bar for all around riding. Thanks, Paul

[RBW] FS: NOS Rivendell Silver Bar-End Shifters $59/shipped

[Paul M]

Hello, Just acquired a NOS Soma Saga complete bicycle that came with 
Rivendell Silver bar-end shifters. Switching to flat bars so thought I 
would sell these shifters. New take-off and never used as the bicycle was 
still in the box. One of the black plastic washers is cracked and still 
works but replacement washers are available on the Rivendell site for 
$3.00/set. I see that these shifters retail for $104.00 and are currently 
out of stock.   $59.00 shipped.  Thanks, Paul

[RBW] Re: FS: NOS 58cm Black Sam Hillborne W/ Double Top Tube Frameset

[Paul M]

Rumor has it Rivendell will not be offering the Sam Hillborne  after their 
current run of production frames sell out. This is your chance to get a 
classic Rivendell frame in "as new condition" with the double top tube. The 
new price is $1000.00 shipped.

If you are willing to buy new, Blue Lug still has 60cm Sam Hillborne

I purchased a Platypus frameset from them and shipping was $175 to Eugene

Re: [RBW] What's the new model going to be in 2025?

[Paul M]

As much as I would like to see a new Hillibike frame design I think this 
head badge is for a kid's bike. At first glance and Bill's suggestion of a 
"Y" it's easy to stick with that idea. But by looking at it a second time, 
I first saw the upside-down "spade" and then the "Y" resembled a slingshot.

I remembered Grant fascination with making thins from wood and how he would 
write about it in the Rivendell Readers. Well, the #43 Reader shows you how 
to make a slingshot. (cyclofiend archives).

The "spade" actually could be an Indian arrowhead.

The missing vowels could represent a grade school missing vowel spelling 
worksheet for K-5.

Who didn't make their own slingshot and search for arrowheads as a kid!
