[RBW] Will Schwalabe Marathon HS 420 - 700x45 - fit on a 59cm Homer Hilsen?

[Scot Brooks]

Hopefully not a useless comment, but here goes. I THINK the clearance on a AHH 
is the same as a Sam H. and I run the 45c marathons on my 60cm Sam no problem. 
In fact, I can squeeze fenders in there if I fiddle a lot.

[RBW] FS in Seattle: 62cm Soma Double Cross, pretty Riv-ish

[Scot Brooks]

Hi everyone, I'm selling my bike through the shop I work at to fund some more 
stuff for my Sam H. It's got some Riv boxes ticked, including a 34-34 
reasonable low gear, high drop bars, Jim Thill built Delgado Cross/LX wheels, 
Marathon Racers, Deore RD, and some other good stuff. If you're interested, 
I'll send over photos and a parts list but you could also pop in to 2020 Cycle 
and check it out. List is $1201 but you guys get $100 off. No shipping, bummer.

[RBW] FS: SON28/LX/Dyad wheelset, B&M lights, Nitto Big Front Rack

[Scot Brooks]

The Son28/LX/Dyad wheelset is 32h front and 36h (135mm spacing) rear. It's 
been ridden, but there's no detectable rim wear. Both wheels are hand-built 
and 700c. *$450*

The lights for sale are the Premium Cyo T Senso Plus (newest Cyo, 80 lux) 
*$70*, and the Toplight Line Plus BrakeTec (rack mount, gets brighter when 
you slow down quickly) *$35*

The Nitto front rack is the same one Riv sells, the big one. It's in great 
shape. I'll sell it with the adapter tabs I had made, which allow it to 
perfectly reach the high braze-ons on my 60cm Sam. *$140*

Shipping will be true cost, or none if you pick-up in Seattle.

Re: [RBW] FS: SON28/LX/Dyad wheelset, B&M lights, Nitto Big Front Rack

[Scot Brooks]

Hi Eric,
The total mileage is unknown but small; I have only a few blocks commute to 
work and Seattle has been pretty dry (for us) this winter. In fact, this winter 
is the first either wheel has seen. The rear wheel is the older of the two at 
almost a year old, maybe 10 months. The front wheel is only a couple of months 
old. I was planning on getting some new photos tomorrow. Oh, and why am I 
selling? To help fund a new bike project I've got in the works, and I've 
already got a spare set of wheels set aside for Sam.

[RBW] Re: Soma Oxford vs. Nitto Albatross

[Scot Brooks]

Hi Cecily,
Here's what 
flickrhad to 
offer for the comparison. They really are remarkably similar, even 
near-as-makes-no-difference. We carry both in the shop where I work and I 
really can't tell if there's a difference when I hold the two up to each 
other. I've got the Somas on my bike and they're great, but nothing like 
the Nitto in terms of finish. Not even close.

[RBW] Re: Edelux - Blug Post

[Scot Brooks]

Hi Eric,
We mess around with modifying Nitto racks kind of a lot at the shop I 
occasionally work at, mostly for the purpose of dialing in the fitment or 
getting things super level. It's way easy, or at least for the guys who do 
the actual welding and brazing (not me). Moot point really, since I guess 
it's not exactly an "easy" solution from the standpoint of a customer 
buying a fancy rack, spending more money to have it modified, and then more 
money to have it painted or powdercoated.

[RBW] What's the real San Marcos tire/fender combo clearance?

[Scot Brooks]

It's a bit vague on the Riv site and on the Soma site, so I'm hoping to 
hear from those who've actually tried the combo I'd like (it's what's 
holding me up on ordering a frame). Fingers crossed, it can squeeze some 
Jack Browns and 45mm aluminum fenders. Does it work? Worst case, I'd be 
happy with Ruffy Tuffys and 37mm aluminum fenders, so if that's the combo 
you run and it's good-but-tight I'd love to hear from you too.

 I would call Riv and ask them, but this is a case where I'd be ordering 
wholesale from Merry Sales through my shop and I don't want to take up 
their time on a non-direct sale. For the record, I bought my Sam fair and 
square direct from Riv so I am a bonified customer, just not for this 
theoretical bike.

[RBW] Re: Paul thumbies/ shimano bar end shifting problems

[Scot Brooks]

Hi Michael, 
My guess is that you've set them up in the wrong "starting position". 
Happens all the time, so no biggie. Try starting fresh with everything 
unscrewed and the indexing limit washer in whatever position you like. Then 
try clicking through without actually screwing it all together. If you run 
out of clicks before you should, take note and rotate the indexing limit 
washer, put the shifter back on, and try again. It's just a matter of 
finding the correct starting position. Then screw everything down and off 
you go!

[RBW] Re: Drivetrains without a front derailer

[Scot Brooks]

Hi Jim,
You need a dealer log-in to search, at least as far as I know. We let customers 
look stuff up at our shop, and I bet your LBS would too.

Patrick, I'd think that "is it better for me?" would be higher on your list 
than "which one's simpler?". Simple sometimes means MIG welding some straight 
gauge tube into a triangle, and complicated sometimes means brazing some lugs 
and slapping on fancy paint. Which to choose?

I've not tried this actual hub so I can't pass judgment, but I'm not exactly in 
love with, or devoted to, any single component, brand, or concept as far as 
drive trains are concerned.

[RBW] Re: Old PSA from B-Stone about prices for bikes

[Scot Brooks]

I work at a bike shop, but thankfully not one that sells new bikes. We find 
nice old steel road and touring bikes, fix them up the way we like, put our 
own sort of hand-shake-promise-warranty on them, and sell them for a modest 
profit. We rarely get hagglers or people who want to price shop us (on new 
parts, or helmets, etc.) against the internet, but it happens. It can feel 
really crappy when it does because it feels like the customer is saying our 
thing is worth less, or our time is worth less, or whatever. They're just 
trying to save money, but it seems to me that you'd only want to make a 
purchase in a place where you trust the people who work there. When you 
trust them, you believe they'll be fair and honest with you. 

I didn't give up the corporate world of Business Development/Marketing to 
work in a bike shop because it was going to get me rich. I did it because 
I'd rather be doing it, and the nice people far outweigh the not-so-nice 
ones.

[RBW] FS: Frost River Panniers (the ones that were just on here last week)

[Scot Brooks]

Pics in an imgur album here --> http://imgur.com/a/fN5VH#0

So these are the same panniers I just purchased from Adam here on the 
group. They're just as he described; good condition, used, but good 
condition and lots of miles and years ahead of them. I tried them out, I 
guess I'm just a saddlesack guy rather than a pannier guy, whatever that 
means. Anyway, same deal he gave me is what I'm offering up. $100 for the 
panniers plus $15 for shipping. Did you miss out when I purchased them? OK, 
life is all about second chances :)

[RBW] Re: pre-ordered a blue Sam Hillborne a few minutes ago

[Scot Brooks]

Congratulations! I was in the same situation as you when I ordered my Sam. 
Had a 14 year old Bontrager Privateer Comp that had been through many 
reincarnations and it was time to get something new and nice. I think 
you're going to look back at this as one of the best and most overdue 
decisions you ever made. 

In answer your question about the crankset; I went with the triple because 
they accidentally shipped it to me (I ordered the double with the guard). 
After riding it for awhile, I removed the big ring in favor of the guard 
and I've never looked back. I still wish I got the double to begin with 
because the gearing would be just a bit more useful. In my case, I bought 
the 12-36 cassette from Riv and I never quite get to low gear even living 
in hilly Seattle. The cassette would make more sense with the 42/30 double 
or whatever it is, for me at least. 

As for the big Marathons, you can go wicked big if you want. I got some 
700x47 ones to try on my Sam and they fit no sweat, even (kinda sorta) with 
fenders. I usually just ride the 38 version though.

[RBW] FS: Near-mint Nigel Smythe Li'l Loafer

[Scot Brooks]

Im going to get some photos tonight, but I thought I'd get the post up early. 
I'm revamping my whole bag set up, and the beautiful Nigel Smythe has to go. 
It's only about a month old and in exceptionally nice condition. Asking $135, 
shipped CONUS.

Did some recon at Free Range Cycles in Seattle today. Grant gets there around 5

They've got an orange Sam, by the way, that is oh so sweet. I accidentally

[RBW] Finally hit the sweet spot with my Sam

[Scot Brooks]

Pardon the instagram quality; cameras are at the office.
 

I was messing around with a dry-run setup for the Seattle to Portland ride 
and I think I've hit my own personal Sam Hillborne nirvana. Of course, this 
only applies to the 6 day per week Seattle city stuff, but the camping 
stuff can go on without much fuss. It goes like this:

700x35 Schwalbe Marathon Racer HS366 (hardly any mention of these anywhere, 
but they're exceptionally good AND on sale from Schwalbe for $19.99 each at 
the moment). I have the 700x38 Greenguard, but I prefer these. They just 
feel right.

11-30 cassette, 8 speed. I love the 12-36 Riv standard, but it's now on the 
"camping" rear wheel (Rhyno Lite 27mm, super gnarly)

SKS Longboards will be back on soon, but I'm just treating myself this week 
while the weather's nice. 

Salsa Delgado Cross 36h wheels from Jim Thill. Absolutely fantastic skill 
from Jim of course. The dynohub front wheel gets to hang out in the closet 
till next winter. 

VO Model 6 saddle. Love it now that it's started to break in. 

Medium shopsack and saddlesack xs is the best combo I've found as an every 
day set up. The saddlesack large (and big rack) is just too much to mess 
with as an every day thing. This is better for me. Looks good too. 

Finally, my Sugino crank started life as a triple, transformed into a 36/24 
double with a guard, and has now transformed into a 40/24 double with a 
guard. Now I love it. 

If you've made it this far, thanks for reading my rambles. There's really 
only one group of people I can share this without feeling nerdy (and who 
will actually know what I'm going on about).

[RBW] Re: Finally hit the sweet spot with my Sam

[Scot Brooks]

Good eye, Mike; it is a 60cm, which I completely forgot to mention. I'm 
really jealous at the jaw-droppingly beautiful paint jobs I see on here, so 
I'm glad my little cream colored headtube can still get some attention. 

I think a 46/30 would be awesome, especially since you could make it as 
versatile as you like with cassette choice. I was thinking about putting 
together a 46/36 with my leftover rings, sort of a mini-roadie-double. My 
mangled knuckle is telling me to stop messing around with taking cranks 
apart though, so that will have to wait till another day. I'm also a 
complete novice when it comes to getting creative with cranks, so I'll 
probably have some questions for you when the time comes.

[RBW] Re: Ordered a Hunq today....

[Scot Brooks]

With the racing and want-to-look-racy world of bike fitment, it seems like they 
had a weird line of thinking that went a little like this: better get the stem 
way down, that's racy. Bike doesn't fit now that the stem is like that? Better 
get a smaller frame to bring the bars closer, don't even think about raising 
that stem, mister. Sort of a cart following the horse moment. Really weird.

[RBW] WTB: your 60cm-ish 700c touring frame

[Scot Brooks]

I've decided my Sam is perfect the way it is, which means I'm setting up a 
dedicated camping bike. As long as it takes 700c wheels, canti brakes, and low 
rider front racks, I'm game. Trying to do this on a budget means that a new 
Hunqapillar will have to wait.

[RBW] OT(ish): Is there such thing as a modern mixte touring bike?

[Scot Brooks]

As I've realized that my perfect Sam set-up is that of a basketted, every day 
city commuter and weekend day tourer, I've been thinking about a true 
camping/touring bike. An Atlantis is out of the budget and so is a Hunq, which 
is sad but true. I've found some great options that will fit the budget, and a 
couple that meet my requirements of tire clearance, low-rider-rackability, and 
1" threaded fork. For those who are curious, the VO Polyvalent 700c "Campeur" 
and the ENE Ciclo Touring are at the top of the list. 

In the spirit of keeping my mind open, I landed on the idea of a camping mixte. 
Does such a thing exist with stout-ish tubing, room for 700x38 tires with 
fenders, cantilever brakes, and mounts for a low-rider front rack? If it 
doesn't, I propose that there is certainly room in the world for such a thing. 
I'd love to have one.

[RBW] Re: OT(ish): Is there such thing as a modern mixte touring bike?

[Scot Brooks]

Hey William,
The Betty WOULD be in the mix, being that it's an absolutely extraordinary 
bicycle, but my budget would be almost entirely tapped. That, combined with the 
fact that I don't think low rider racks work with the Riv braze-ons. Another 
consideration is that I really want to give some business to one of Seattle's 
local shops who have gone way above and beyond for me on a couple of occasions.

Re: [RBW] Re: OT(ish): Is there such thing as a modern mixte touring bike?

Hi Lee,
I eliminated the Buena Vista for tire clearance (can only fit 700x28 with 
fenders), and for the 1.125" headtube. Otherwise you're right, it's a sweet 
frame.

Re: [RBW] Re: OT(ish): Is there such thing as a modern mixte touring bike?

Good point on the 650b Lee. I'd love to go that route, but I'm restricted in 
that I already have a nice set of 700c wheels ready for the build. Other than 
that, tires, dyno headlamp, fenders, stem, cassette, and pedals are already in 
my possession. It makes it so I have to work backwards a bit.

A mixte LHT, now that would be sweet. By the way, my use of "modern" was a 
little goofy. I just meant "currently in production". Most of my motivation for 
the 1" steerer is that I just love the look, the other part is that I have a 
spare Technomic hanging around.

[RBW] Long cage rear derailer options in silver

[Scot Brooks]

As my new bicycle is taking shape, I'm painfully aware all-over-again that 
there are very few rear derailers being made in silver these days that will 
accomodate my 12-36t cassette. Other than the euro LX sold through Riv, is 
there anything that comes in a plain silver finish? I don't like the look 
of the black or the silver/black Deore, though it's reliable, easily found, 
and economical. I've given up on a used one, since rear derailers tend to 
suffer quite a lot of cosmetic degradation before being offered for sale, 
generally speaking.

[RBW] Re: Long cage rear derailer options in silver

I like the Dura-Ace suggestions quite a lot, but don't Shimano's GS derailers 
run out of wrapping capacity well before 36t? I just assumed that SGS (or 
equivalent) was the only way. If I'm not careful, I'll end up with a beautiful 
Dura-Ace RD and a new cassette just to use it :)

[RBW] Re: Long cage rear derailer options in silver

[Scot Brooks]

Jim,
Undoubtedly there's some wisdom in your comment. Maybe the derailer big 
wigs will move their design back to the days of yore at some point, but 
there's no sense in making my bicycle wait. 

Phil B.,
Those Paul RDs and White RDs are awesome. I never knew such a thing 
existed, especially the Paul in the "rasta" color scheme. So cool. 

William,
I never even considered that the dropout would be such a key player in 
determining the abilities of the RD. I've still got a lot to learn I guess. 

Montclair Bobby,
Definitely some good stuff to consider in there. Thanks for doing the 
legwork.

for free. I'm in Seattle as well.

[RBW] Re: Wtb: rear rack

[Scot Brooks]

Sounds like a plan, Ryan. I can't direct message from mobile, but if you send 
me a message we can figure it out. I'm in Belltown.

[RBW] FS: Dynamo/Touring Wheelset with 700x47 Marathon Greenguards

[Scot Brooks]

Here are 8 photos of the wheels and tires exactly as they are at the 
moment (imgur 
link). They won't be ridden before I sell them. 
I'd like to do this locally in Seattle, but I'm sure something could be 
worked out with shipping if you're interested. 

The wheels are true, have less than 100 miles on them (the tires have less 
than 15 miles), and are totally good-to-go with no surprises. The rear is a 
hand-built 36h Rhyno Lite with a Shimano SLX hub, really strong. Built by 
20/20 Cycles in Seattle. The front is a (presumably) machine-built 32h 
Salsa Delgado Cross with a Shimano DH-3D71 Dynamo Hub (which is also 
disc-compatible, though you can use it with rim brakes just as well). The 
Front wheel was purchased originally at REI. 

To recap, you get the wheels, the skewers, the rim tape, the tubes, and the 
tires. 
$250 local pick-up, shipping figured out if not. 

-Scot

[RBW] Re: FS: Dynamo/Touring Wheelset with 700x47 Marathon Greenguards

[Scot Brooks]

OK, so I've decided to make these available in 3 optional packages. Take 
your pick. 

1) Wheels, 700x47c Marathon Greenguards (maybe 15 miles on these). This is 
the original offer. 

2) Wheels, 700x38c Marathon Greenguards (approximately 300 miles). This 
will fit on a Sam H. with fenders.

3) Wheels, 700x32c Pasela TGs (maybe 50 miles or so, but dirty rain miles). 
Probably really hard to fit on the Rhyno Lite considering the 27.5mm width 
of the rim. You could use the Paselas on a different bike and fit some 
appropriate tires on this wheelset.

[RBW] Long distance clothing choices

[Scot Brooks]

So the Seattle to Portland ride is coming up (200 miles in 2 days), and I'm 
kinda thinking about wardrobe. I'm not a spandex guy, and though I wore it 
for quite awhile some years ago, I just never felt right in it. The 
farthest I've gotten is running socks, boat shoes (my all time favorite 
riding footwear), Exofficio undies, and that's it. Running shorts will 
probably be next thing, which seems like a good choice. I wanted a MUSA 
short sleeve wool tee shirt, but they're out of mediums. Might end up with 
a butt-crack tan line if I go the tee shirt route. 

Anyway, what do you guys and gals wear when distance is the thing? 

Also, who's going? I'll probably be riding my Sam, but I might break out my 
newly-built-secret-weapon bike.

Thanks for the replies, everyone. Special thanks to Mike for the LL Bean

them with an inappropriate amount of pride.

[RBW] Sam appreciation and envy at STP

[Scot Brooks]

Living through this last weekend's Seattle to Portland bike ride was pretty 
great, and there were quite a few Riv spottings along the way. There was a 
couple with two...Atlanti, Atlantises...whatever, a couple Rams at least, 
and I think I spotted a Bleriot. Non compared to the Sam I saw while 
waiting in the UW parking lot for the bike trucks to unload. It was a new 
color 56 with double top tubes of course, nitto front and rear racks, Nigel 
Smythe front and rear tweed excellence, Brooks of course, Silver shifters, 
SON dynohub, Edelux (I believe) light, and the list goes on. It really was 
the ultimate expression of a Sam for me. What's worse is that it made mine 
look like a wretch. Mine has all the sam SORT of stuff, but just the low 
brow versions of...everything. I think the bell was even better. Hopefully 
it made it back to its owner, because it was there for at least 2 1/2 hours 
while I was waiting, and I left at maybe 11:45pm.

Thanks for the wisdom everyone. I do love my bike to an almost embarrassing

when the need arises. It's nice to see the "if money was no object" version, 
though; gets the gears in my head turning for my Sam's long future with me! :)

[RBW] Rivendell in Cycling Illustrated

[Scot Brooks]

So I've managed to infiltrate the world of Cycling Illustrated as a weekly 
columnist, and my post this week even has a photo of me with my Sam. I've got a 
long way to go with my writing, but I think it's cool of them to let a 
non-racing guy like myself have a voice on the site. The article isn't a work 
of art, but they'll get better. I feel compelled to make excuses for it, which 
I think is natural. Have a read if you like, and be gentle.

[RBW] New Build. Not a Riv, but a friend of Riv

[Scot Brooks]

Here's the link to the imgur album  with 8 
images. 

I wanted a Hunqapillar, but I realized it was too far out of budget. I 
decided to set up my Sam a little more hardcore and get something else that 
would be an All-Arounder type bike. I ended up with a Soma Double Cross, 
and it's proven to be excellent. It's getting a full write-up in my Cycling 
Illustrated 
column, 
but that won't be online until tomorrow. If you read it and maybe even 
comment, I'd be really grateful. I'm just trying to gently remind the 
racing folks that there are other bikes to ride. Here's the build list for 
the time being. It has notes because it appears in the article as well.

*
Soma Double Cross frame  $425 (ordered through 20/20 
Cycle
)
Soma Cyclo-Cross Fork  $150 (really exceptional, really great value)
Salsa Delgado Cross/LX Wheels $270 (hand-built by Jim 
Thill
)
Schwalbe Marathon Racer 700x35c $15/each (scored at Bike Expo from Schwalbe)
Velo Orange 48x34t Double  $100 (on sale)
MKS Touring Pedals  $40
9 speed chain, KMC probably $20
Shimano 12-36t 9 speed cassette $50 (serious range)
Shimano bottom bracket  $30 (I think)
ENE Grand Comp bar end shifters $70 (friction shifting is sweet)
Shifter cables/housing  $15
Nitto Moustache Handlebars $90 (super versatile, great bars)
Shimano brake levers  $50 (Tiagra, Sora, something like that...)
Brake cables/housing  $15
Shimano cantilever brakes  $15 (old as hell design, still good, still in 
production)
Civia Stem   $20
Velo Orange Headset  $40
Soma set-back seatpost  $25 (probably)
Velo Orange Model 6 saddle $45 (crazy sale price + coupon)
Shimano Deore RD  $55
IRD Alpina triple FD  $40 (in case I ever want a Sugino triple for instance)
Newbaum’s cotton bar tape  $10
King stainless water bottle cage $20
Miscellaneous stuff I forgot  $25 (?)*

David, thanks for sharing the Bombadil photos. I think that finally pushed me

[RBW] Re: Microshift thumbies?

The deal with the Microshift thumb shifters and the IRDs is that they work 
great. I've tried both at the shop, and been happy enough. There is an 
alternative though; Sunrace thumb shifters (and NOT the ones Riv sells) can 
be had in 8 or 9 speed indexed for $28 retail per side, or $56 for a bike's 
worth. They are as accurate as the Microshift or the IRD, for sure, no 
doubt about it.

[RBW] Re: LED Fender Lights: Spanninga vs. PDW Fenderbot

[Scot Brooks]

The Pixeo is pretty good, definitely bright enough, but has a weak point on 
the inside, where the threaded plate is retained by plastic channels. If 
you tighten beyond snug, the plate rounds out the channels and spins 
freely. Then you have to disassemble the light and hold the plate manually 
to get it tight again. Small thing, but likely enough to happen. Otherwise, 
fine light.

[RBW] Dynamo lighting and colored gels

recently the Edelux. Remembering that I was always partial to a nice yellow 
set of goggles back in my skiing days, I thought producing a less-blue 
light might be nicer for me. I experimented with some scrap pieces of Rosco 
colored photographic gels to get a more pleasing color temperature. I went 
for the commonly used and widely available CTO (color temperature orange). 
As far as I know, these come in CTO, 1/2 CTO, and 1/4 CTO, maybe others. 
The CTO is *really* orange and cuts out too much light, but might be OK 
with one of the newer super high lux lights. The 1/2 CTO is really nice but 
still absorbs just a tiny bit too much light for my Edelux. I'd recommend 
trying this one if you have a powerful light or a really dark commute. The 
1/4 CTO turns the super blue LED light into a much nicer neutral/warm light 
without absorbing too much for city riding. If you don't have photographic 
gels, you can buy sheets really cheap. If you have a small light, you might 
be able to get away with using one of the tiny sheets from the *free *Rosco 
sample pack they'll send you.

[RBW] Re: Sackville SaddleSack Large or Medium for Rides to Beach?

[Scot Brooks]

Hi Homer,
I think the large is the winner where a beach trip is concerned. More stuff 
fits inside and towels are pretty bulky. The advantage the medium has, in 
that it doesn't require a rack, isn't an advantage at all for you it seems. 
No balance issues for me, no back of the leg annoyance, and since it's not 
really any wider than most people's grip on the handlebars, it won't run 
into anything you don't run into with your hands first. My one gripe about 
it, from my personal experience, is that I've got to be really careful with 
my leg swing-over when I have the flap super overloaded, like with a big 
sleeping pad or something. Otherwise, it's great. Number one best feature 
is the super fast and easy access, which I've found to be much better than 
all other saddlebags.

[RBW] Re: thump thump thump thump

[Scot Brooks]

Hi Lynne,
Sounds like you've done a good job going down the checklist, but here's 
what I'd do before building a new wheel. File the brake pads so that any 
little metal shards are out of the picture, then I'd give a bit of angle to 
the pads, so instead of looking like this | | when you look down at them, 
they'll look like this / \ but not as extreme. This will make it so the 
trailing edge of the pad (since the top of the tire is moving away from 
you) makes contact with the rim first, rather than the leading edge. 
That'll eliminate the hard edge of the pad as a possible reason at least. 
You can do this yourself with an adjustable wrench by bending the arms of 
the brake (assuming you have caliper brakes), but your LBS probably has the 
Park tool designed for this very thing. Hopefully that works! If not, we'll 
come up with a plan B.

[RBW] Dumonde Tech Chain Lube Initial Review

[Scot Brooks]

Sounds good for your specific needs, Patrick. The only thing I can add to this 
discussion is that we get all sorts of lubes sent to our shop here in Seattle 
(rainy, at least almost as much as people think), mostly "high tech" or 
"purpose specific" or whatever, and they're all pretty OK. We try them all on 
our own bikes and sometimes on we ask the hardcore cyclocross guys and the bike 
polo guys to try them. Usually the finding is that they're the same or 
marginally worse or marginally better. Most often the same. The only constant 
is that lube is better than no lube. Tri Flow, Boeshield, Prolink, it's hard to 
tell any difference. We got some recently from a weapons contractor. Fine 
stuff, but we couldn't tell the difference. Extreme conditions sometimes 
requires extreme lubes I suppose, but generally it makes hardly any difference. 
Hear chirping birds? Lube it up.

[RBW] Re: Your pre-80's steel vs. today's steel bikes.

[Scot Brooks]

I ride a LOT of classic steel, some good, some boring, some incredible. At my 
shop, fixing up classic steel frames while retaining their flavor is our entire 
business model. My Sam feels good but not at the level of some bikes that roll 
through our shop; an old Atala, a dumpster find Windsor, a Medici. Not to say 
they were made by people who care about what they do more than the people who 
made my Sam but they FELT incredible. Better in fact. Love my Sam but, man, the 
past had some nice stuff.

[RBW] Re: Your pre-80's steel vs. today's steel bikes.

[Scot Brooks]

The one I'd really like to try is the Rodriguez Outlaw. They're built here 
in Seattle and I think they're just about the lightest steel road bike out 
there. They're light enough that I'd almost be afraid it would end up as a 
single-use-only product at my 190 lbs.

[RBW] FS: New 650b wheelset with Compass Loup Loup Pass tires

[Scot Brooks]

The wheelset was built at our shop for a project that is no longer 
happening. The rims are Soma Weymouth 36h, the hubs are Tiagra 36h, the 
spokes are DT Champion 2.0 straight gauge, the tires are Compass Grand Bois 
Loup Loup Pass 650x38b. Rim tape and tubes in there as well. All ready to 
go, totally hand built with lots of love. $450 for everything, which 
basically gives you labor ($120) knocked off the price. Price will lower 
every so often until the set sells. Free pick up in Seattle or actual 
shipping.

I'm in Portland (from Seattle) today and I've been visiting bike shops and

which is pretty out of character for Portland. If you see a tall guy on a huge 
grey lugged Univega, just shout!
