[RBW] Re: Sell my Bridgestones to fund a Hilborne?

2009-09-16 Thread Weird Harold

Holy smokes. I just pumped some air into the tires. Adjusted the seat.
And took off on a midnight jaunt with a flashlight in my hand.

This X0-1 is fun, fun, fun. My XO-2 is a 52. This is a 55, which fits
me much better. What a blast. I might have to put my nitto rear rack
on it, baggins bag, probably my dirt drop, and ride it for a while
until I decide what to do. I feel like a kid in a candy store!

I was reading an interview with Grant on Bike Radar and saw this:

"There are some things I want to do, and one thing in particular that
I want to do that will be terribly misunderstood by just about
everybody with an internet connection and a smattering of bike
knowledge and historical perspective. Compared to anything Rivendell
has "done" in the past, it's way, way out there and sounds, or might
sound, inconsistent and off the deep end."

Anyone have any idea what he's talking about?

[RBW] Re: Anyone checked out this pump?

2009-10-28 Thread Weird Harold

 Here's why I said Riv-ish -

1) Bamboo handle (seems to fit in with the whole tweed/leather/steel
theme at Riv)
2) Lifetime warranty- according to the company, they'd rather fix it
than have it end up in a landfill
3) They donate a portion of the profits to environmental groups
4) Catalog is 100 percent post-consumer (Like the Bridgestone
Catalogs)

I'm sounding like a shill for the company, but I'm not. Really.

I think the issue we might debate is whether form meets function.

And that is in fact what I'll test out.

You might rule out aesthetics for a bike pump, but if you've got a
$4000 Rivendell, you can't say that aesthetics don't influence your
decisions.

I've always felt that Rivendell has had a hard time straddling this
line. Sure, they advocate using simple zip ties to fasten a basket to
your bike. "Hey, you don't need anything fancy! A plastic zip tie gets
the job done better than anything else!" And then—they sell tweed
bags.  Ride through some mud and discover how fun it is to clean those
suckers. Practical is plastic. Practical is an Ortileb bag. Just wash
it off.

Maybe a $500 Joe Bell paint job will last longer than others, but
really, do you need cream accents on the lugs?

Plastic SKS fenders, yes. Easier to put on and maybe longer lasting
than Honjos, according to Grant. That's practical. But we'll top 'em
off with some leather mud flaps.

I think Grant would fully admit that he wants something completely
practical—that's part of his sales pitch, and philosophy—but he's an
aesthete  too. Sure, lugs might be the secret to a very long-lasting
bicycle, but do you need to spec them with asymmetrical hearts? Is a
Sackville trunk sack worth $108, even if it is "the most handsome
we've ever seen", according to Grant?

Listen, this pump could be a hunk 'o junk. I just got it in the mail
today. I'm going to try it out tomorrow. I needed something small to
fit in my Keven's bag (canvas) and this one seemed like it could do
the trick. If I get a flat at night and it takes me forever to pump it
up with the Poco, I'll ditch it.

2009-01-04 Thread Weird Harold

I was at Rivendell yesterday and casually asked if they planned to
offer panniers. The answer was "probably not anytime soon."

I emailed Grant. He said the stolen bikes weren't Rivendells.

[RBW] Re: Not a Riv, but as close as I can get!

2009-02-17 Thread Weird Harold

Just do a google search for "swiss bread bags." You can get them for 5
bucks a pop. Though there is some guy selling them on ebay for up to
$240/a pair, which is scam-city.
