[RBW] looking for advice on stem seat post wanted
I am building my first Rivendell thanks to my brother getting me a romulus frame for X-mas(pretty cool gift). I've got my drivetrain coming from my LBS. I need to select seat post and stem and I'm looking for some suggestions and if anyone has anything for sale let me know. Here are some pics from my starting point. http://www.flickr.com/photos/skvidal/4180215090/ Thanks, Wade -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

Re: [RBW] christmas day canti rom build
Thanks it was a fun evening working on it. The seat is serfas that my brother gave me. I'm thinking about a black b-17. The wheels are bontrager race lites ( take offs from my wife's bike when she got a new wheel set). I wasn't sure about the wheels at first but I think they look pretty good they just need some new tires. - Original Message - From: Ray Shine To: rbw-owners-bunch@googlegroups.com Sent: Saturday, December 26, 2009 1:35 AM Subject: Re: [RBW] christmas day canti rom build Wade - Looking great, so far.

Re: [RBW] Re: christmas day canti rom build
Ryan you are absolutely right about walking away. I was having lot of trouble setting up the brakes and that was the last thing I needed to do before the first test ride. I took a break and came back to it and now they working pretty well. I got to make my test ride in the dark but it was still fun to get it going. here are some more pics with the brakes on http://www.flickr.com/photos/45895...@n02/?saved=1 - Original Message - From: "RoadieRyan" To: "RBW Owners Bunch" Sent: Saturday, December 26, 2009 5:41 PM Subject: [RBW] Re: christmas day canti rom build Wade your first build is looking excellent! My advice would be to take your time and if you run into issues use your resources. I rely on (in no real order); this forum, Sheldon Brown's site, Park tools site for videos and good tech breakdowns of "how tos" and "Zinn and the Art of road bike Maintenance". It can be tough to walk away when you get stuck -to clear your mind (especially when you are so close to the first ride you can taste it) but I have never regretted walking away and coming back later, i am almost always amazed how "easy" the issue that was blocking me is to resolve with a little time away. Looks like a super sweet ride hope you get many miles of smiles RR Abike and light-hearted, I take to the open road, Healthy, free, the world before me, The long brown path before me, leading wherever I choose.

Swap out that spare one I sent you for something shorter - maybe a 9-10cm stem and see if it comes back toward you a bit. You look a bit stretched out. See if your LBS has a used stem bin and you can swap them in and out until you get a size that's a bit better. -sv -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

I finished up my Quickbeam this last weekend and took it out for a quick 12 miles during a warm (upper 30's) snap on saturday. I'm really happy with the way it rides and the fit is great, too! My other Rivs are 54cm but I wanted a QB with 650b wheels so I took a chance on the 52cm and it's okay. The Tech. Deluxe stem's not even at the max height. I set it up as a 3-speed with a 16t fixed cog on one side, a Dos Eno 17-19 freewheel on the other and the stock 32/40/chainguard crankset. The gearing is okay with the exception of the low gear--32X19 is just too low, I think. I was twiddling like mad and barely doing 11mph! We just don't have the extended climbs in this area to justify such a low gear, unfortunetly. Since 32 is the biggest 74mm BCD ring made, I might have to lose the stock triple crank with ring guard setup, and switch to a more conventional 110mm BCD, 36-40 ring combo up front. I think a 36X19 low gear would be about right... Anyway, I put my favorite bartape on it, Fizik brand, in the metallic blue and I think it looks pretty good.

Granted, there was plenty there to be inspired by, but honestly I was a bit disappointed. Too much bling for me. Too many "sky's the limit" designs. Too many over-worked wanna-be-masterpieces that showed off mad skills with torches, welders and spray guns, but lacked the subtle simplicity that demonstrates the restraint and maturity of a true master - or the humility and honesty of an up-an-comer. Now I'm not saying I could do better. I've never built a bike from raw tubes - I know my limits. But it seems that the premise of the show itself may be a misnomer when so much of the work is done by CNC driven lasers, water jets and similar computer controlled machines. IMHO - the intricate detail made possible by computers adds little to the overall end result, and in many cases becomes a distraction. I may be alone in this opinion - there was a whole lot of drool left on everything that pushed the envelope in that regard. But gone was the Shaker-like simplicity, practicality and celebration of the fundamental practical forms that define two-wheeled transportation. No need to look for innovative little details that mark progress - it was in your face - chromed, polished and begging for attention. In many respects I felt as if I may as well have attended a Low Rider bike show. I guess I'm showing my age here, but the only booths I found myself lingering were those where the frames were basically triangles, the paint was basically one color - maybe two, and the overall vibe was that of timelessness. Hank Folson was there with his Henry James lugs. Richard Sachs with a pair of dirt-encrusted Cross bikes. Peter Mooney. Chris Bishop. Bilenky. (Way to haul in the whole workshop guys!) Plenty of pics on other sites, so you can judge for yourself. I found myself back my the room looking at the Flickr Rivendell pages just for some peace of mind. Worked like a charm.
