[RBW] Re: Children of Atlantis
I have to confess that I can't warm up to the double top tube on the Bombadil. I have a Hilsen and it's a lovely, comfortable bike, but I want something that I can do some trail and mountain biking on. I have been seriously considering the Fargo. It's not a surprise to me that Rivish folks wouldn't find the design appealing, but I see the Fargo as a very Rivish spin on the all rounder mountain bike. The Fargo has been ridden to completion on the Great Divide race and on tour cross country. I am curious to try out mechanical disc brakes, which from my limited understanding are pretty robust. Salsa is also coming out with some off road oriented drop bars, called Woodchippers, which also are Rivish in their concept and design. No design is really perfect for everyone, but I think that the Fargo takes a utilitarian approach to the mountain/touring/road bike from a slightly different point of view. As my accountant says, there's no accounting for taste. Joel --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

[RBW] Re: Yet another Rivendell-style product recommendation request: sunglasses
I have been very happy with Rudy Project Exceptions. The newer model is caled Perceptions. They are modular sunglasses. You can wear them as non Rx sunglasses, or you can wear them with your Rx plugged into the frame. The big advantage of these glasses is that your Rx lenses fit right into the frames and the sunglasses are worn as flip ups over the Rx lenses. I have a progressive lens Rx that I use with mine. I like these glasses as a rider (and as an ophthalmologist) because lenses that are clipped behind the regular plane of the sunglasses in a carrier are too close to the eye, often close enough to rub your eyelashes. In addition, if you have a significant Rx, the change in distance will affect the effective lens power, changing your vision with your glasses. This is less expensive and kludgy than Oakley's grinding a Rx into the whole oversize lens. The one disadvantage is that the flip up lenses can vibrate a little bit. http://www.rudyprojectusa.com/products/sunglasses/styles/perception.htm Joel --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

[RBW] Re: End of the Atlantis?!?
I can understand why they are being discontinued- Toyo made frames are pricing themselves out of existence. I am sure that Waterford could make them, but likely they would be at least as expensive. I wonder what a custom builder charges for a lugged frame and fork? Nobody can dispute the beauty of an Atlantis frame and fork, but OTOH you can get a LHT frame and fork for what, $500? It seems that GP had anticipated this, by presenting the 2 new models. Unless I am missing something, once the Atlantis is discontinued, Rivendell will no longer offer a bike model that is capable of loaded touring.

[RBW] Re: AHH, Romulus, or Saluki for Randonneuring?
I'm curious what wheel/tire set up all of you rando guys use. I have 36 spoke wheels and 35mm Paselas on my Hilsen. My original thought was to have a robust build that would be good for dirt roads and light touring. While smooth, I do find my bike to be a little bit poky, especially going up hills. My Hilsen is usually about 1 mph slower than my road bike. I have difficulty imagining riding it for really long distances. Would a 32 spoke wheelset make a big difference, or a 32 mm tire? I am not anxious to buy another wheelset, especially because I have been drooling over the Salsa Fargo as a potential acquisition.

[RBW] How Much Difference Would Different Wheels/Tires Make
I have an AHH that's running 36 spoked Velocity wheels and 35 mm Panaracer Paselas. My original priorities were bombproof and plush riding. The ride is undeniably cushy, but there are times when I wouldn't mind it if the bike was a bit quicker- especially on hills. I have been contemplating running 32 mm Paselas and/or going to a somewhat lighter wheelset. I still wonder how much real world difference these changes would make. What do you think?

I have an 8 cm stem on my AHH (started with a 10 cm) and still feel a little bit stretched out when I ride on the hoods.

I have started to think about a 6 cm stem, but recall that some people think that a short stem has an adverse effect on handling. Any opinions on this?

Re: [RBW] What's the shortest stem that you would use?
Seth- The bars are at the same height as the seat. They're comfy in that regard and I can ride in the drops, which I can't do for long on my regular road bike. I was also thinking about getting shorter reach handlebars. I am running Noodles. Mark's bars have a 1.5 cm shorter reach, which might do the trick too. I will raise the bars a bit for tomorrow's ride and see how it goes. Joel -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

Re: [RBW] What's the shortest stem that you would use?
It is the reach of the bars. I am using Campy Ergos and am comfortable on the tops of my Noodles.

Re: [RBW] What's the shortest stem that you would use?
Pat, The Noodles have a 95 mm reach, so I need something shorter than that. The only possible Nitto would be Mark's bars, which are 82. There seem to be some Salsa, Ritchey and Bontrager bars that have a reach of 75 mm, but they're all black. At least they're relatively inexpensive. Wonder if a 13 mm decrease in drop would be enough.

Re: [RBW] What's the shortest stem that you would use?
So I raised the bars a bit. It definitely helped to make me feel less stretched out. I also noticed that my center of gravity was shifted back on the bike and that I had less weight on the bars and more on the seat. Didn't make a noticeable difference in speed- I'm still a slug. I'm going to live with the bike for a few weeks before doing anything else. I am also thinking about rechecking my fore-aft saddle position. I have a road bike that I feel very comfortable on. The distance from the nose of the saddle to the center of the bars is the same on my Litespeed and my AHH. The Litespeed has a straight seatpost and the AHH has a set back seatpost. This makes me wonder if I am in the right place over the pedals. Lots of variables! Joel -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

Re: [RBW] What's the shortest stem that you would use?
Just went out to the garage with a plumb line. The seat seems to be right on the money, in the same relative position as on my Litespeed. I am going to wait a week or two before doing anything else. I keep waffling about whether to change the bars or the stem. The tops of my Noodles are in the same relative position as the anatomic bars on my Litespeed. On the one hand, Mark's bars will likely move the hoods back far enough. OTOH, I like the Noodles and doubt that moving the tops back an inch will make that much of a difference. I may wind up flipping a coin :) Joel -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

Re: [RBW] What's the shortest stem that you would use?
Zack, Thanks for the link - got it and understand. At my new, higher handlebar height, there is an improvement in reach, but it's accompanied by a change in my center of gravity.

Re: [RBW] What's the shortest stem that you would use?
OK, did a 24 mile ride this morning and raising the bars seems to have done the trick. I am reasonably comfortable on the hoods for long periods.
