[RBW] FS - Sackville TrunkSack small (olive) - $60

[sean]

Bought this a few years ago and used on my Mark's rack. Great small bag, 
but I haven't used it for awhile as I have been running panniers and a wald 
basket (with a Shopsack). TrunkSack is in great shape and just has minor 
scuffs on the canvas from where the shock cord was on the top D-rings and 
where it attached to the rack. It has the Sackville metal plate (instead in 
the newer cloth badge) #161.
Here's the problem though. I don't have paypal, but would love a Riv gift 
certificate. Plan on placing an order soon after reading the recent blug. 
So, if you're interested and are ok with that kind of payment, shoot me an 
e-mail. I have a few pics of it mounted on the Ram and could take others if 
need be.

Price includes shipping to lower 48.

Thanks,
Sean O'Bryan

[RBW] Re: Soma Oxford vs. Nitto Albatross

[sean]

Hi Cecily,

I used Nitto North Roads and I found them similar enough to Albatross bars 
but a little wider and more comfortable. So, you may consider those. They 
seem to be more widely available too. That being said, I am with Liesl on 
this one. I have similar vertebrae issues (stenosis in the neck) and have 
converted two of my bikes to Bosco bars. I can attest that they are great 
bars and offer many more positions that the Albatross. When Grant developed 
them, I honestly never in a million years thought I would ride bars like 
that. But after 2 rounds of PT, I committed to a more upright riding style 
(bye-bye drop bars) and find the Boscos to be wonderful. They are nice and 
wide and offer a natural position for cruising but also allow you to grab 
ahead of your levers for climbing and more aggressive riding. I've even 
grab the "flats" and tucked into a aerodynamic descent. They also allow 
plenty of room up front for a nice basket (on a Mark's rack) with no cable 
interference. 
Good luck with you setup and glad to hear you are back on the bike!

Best regards,
Sean

Welcome Shawn. I am also a Sean from Austin, TX. Long time lurker,

Hi Jon,

My wife met you a few months ago at Circle C Park and gave me your
business card. It's not everyday that you run into cyclers on
Rivendells in Austin (but it is getting better all the time). Thought
I'd officially say hi!
Great to hear from more Austin Riv/Bob types. I concur with Bearpapa.
I think an Austin BOB/Riv ride should be in order. Getting to be great
weather for wool too.

[RBW] MKS Grip Kings

[sean]

Hi Group,

Thinking of pulling the trigger on some Grip Kings, but am concerned
about their dimensions. Basically, I want to be able to ride in any
and all shoes/sneakers especially Chuck Taylor type shoes (actually
Keen Coronados) and Birkenstocks. Currently I am using the MKS Touring
with cages, which worked great with Sambas over the years but now
they're hurting my feet. My question is: are the Grip Kings too long
for say a size 7-8 shoe? I have wide feet but not very big feet. I am
concerned that the GKs might be so long they'll feel like planks under
my feet. how do the GR9s compare? Any comments appreciated.

Thanks,
Sean
Austin, TX

[RBW] Re: MKS Grip Kings

[sean]

Thanks for all the input everyone. Very helpful and dispelled some of
my concerns. I went ahead and ordered some. I am hoping the width to
length ratio will work well for me. I still ride "clicked in" on my
Rambouillet (for long distance riding), but love "pedaling free" for
commuting and general riding/errands/grocery hauling,etc. Agree with
Mike, it really is very liberating. I still think clipless pedals have
their place though depending on the type of riding. I guess maybe my
"type of riding" is changing more and more over time. Thanks again
all.

[RBW] Re: gripkings

[sean]

Thanks for the imput Grant and others. I bit the bullet and ordered
some. The "plank" statement wasn't so much about having alot of
support under my feet as it was abotu being concerned the "meaty"
parts of my feet would be positioned in the wrong place on long
pedals. Seems that these pedals will work well for my foot size and,
beyond that, it is all personal preference. Hoping to love them and
not look back. Thanks.

[RBW] Re: Riding in Austin

[sean]

Hi Tim,

here is another good site with many Austin cycling resources:

http://austinontwowheels.org/

There are many good rides in the area and you can put in some serious
miles here year round. There are many club rides, decent shops, and a
local randonneuring group.

http://bicyclesportshop.com/
http://freewheelingbicycles.com/

http://www.hillcountryrandonneurs.com/

Like much of the American West, Austin has it share of sprawl (but not
nearly as bad as Houston, Dallas, or San Antonio). Austin is much more
centralized than other Texas cities and has a large bike culture.
Being close to central Austin is key for commuting. I commute year
round about 20 miles per day and it is very manageable. Being
originally from Boston where bicycles travel faster and more
efficiently than cars, it took me awhile to get used to the big
trucks, high speeds on surface streets, and 4 lane roads (take a look
at South Congress - ite reminds me of a New England turnpike). I think
the cycling in Austin has improved alot in the 10 years I have been
here. I see way more people on bikes on a daily basis than I did back
then.

Regards,

Sean

[RBW] Re: Austin Rivendell Owners?

I am a long time Riv fan and recently became owner to one of the
Rambouillet demo bikes that Rivendell was parting with a few months
back. That is indeed my buddy Jeff Newberry in the Tour das Hugel
photo. Jeff is a hardcore brevet rider and a Heron/Hetchins and soon
to be custom Riv owner. I only know of a handful of actual Rivendell
owners in Austin, but I know plenty of "Rivendell-type" riders.

[RBW] Re: Quickbeam Tour

[sean]

Clive,
Excellent blog. Very enjoyable and informative read. Really makes me
want to get back to England sometime (preferably on the bike).  Also,
the few pictures of Boston (MA) made me homesick for the Boston area
(even with the snow and all - I've obviously been gone a long time).
That Tardis seems like a great way to transport a bike and it seems
the Quickbeam was certainly up to the task. Loved seeing the pictures
of the traidtional British pubs as well...mmm...pints...(cue Homer
Simpson gurgling). Thanks for sharing.

Hi RJM,
 
I have a 50cm blue Rambouillet I am considering parting with. It's built 
around 26" wheels and is a fairly standard Riv build (except I added 
Dura-Ace DT shifters). Perfect bike for various road riding and 
randonneuring. Shoot me an e-mail off list if this is something that might

Great news to hear! I completely agree on the Bosco bars. I never thought 
I'd be riding bars like these, but after neck stenosis problems, these bars 
have kept me riding! Great comfort and hand positions. Have put them on 
other bikes as well. Upright is alright by me. :)

[RBW] Re: Wrapping Bosco Handlebars

[sean]

I would say just wrap from the lever clamps down toward the stem. Leave the 
cables exposed. I don't have any shifters in the way (mounted downtube) and 
I didn't have to remove anything from the bars. Just started a little past 
the lever clamp and wrapped down to about an inch/inch and a half from the 
stem. Newbaums followed by a couple of coats of shellac. Makes for a nice 
grip-able area and elegant too. Left the space near the stem for mounting 
bell, headlight, etc.

[RBW] MUSA shorts question

[sean]

Hi Group,
 
Thinking of getting some MUSA shorts. Been on the fence for along time now, 
but the summer weather is brutal down here in TX and thought maybe these 
would provide some cool, lightweight relief. I'm not sure about sizing 
though. I'm about 5'5"-5'6" with a pbh of 78. Short in the leg (28-29 in. 
pants inseam). I wear a size 31 waist in Dickies pants and Carharrt shorts. 
Could go either small or medium but I can't stand long (below the knee) 
"shants"as I like to call them. I understand the MUSAs fit kind of baggy. 
Any advice on the fit of these shorts would be geatly appreciated. Want to 
get this right the first time around! 
 
Thanks alot!

[RBW] Re: Neck Pain, and Upright Bars/Bosco's

[sean]

Apologies for my late arrival to this topic. I have just been dealing with 
similar issues (stinosis in the C6-7) and have been off the bike for a few 
weeks. Still in physical therapy and just starting to ride again in a 
limited fashion while  being ever so mindful of my position and posture on 
the bike. I never in a million years thought I would be considering the 
Bosco bars. But now I am interested. Being as upright as possible is 
certainly taking the pressure off the nerves and, aside from moving to a 
recumbent (gasp!), upright riding might be the position for me for the long 
haul. Especially if it can keep me riding for many years to come! (Being 
off the bike for 3 weeks has been tough!) Currently run an albatross bar on 
my Big Dummy and may have to shorten the stem to pull it back even further. 
My LHT currently has On-One Mary which I love (have mutliple sets) but 
might need to retire these in favor of a Bosco. The Marys still put me a 
little too far forward for comfort and for the foreseeable future 
maintenance of this condition. Maybe the Boscos will do the trick? Or a 
shorter stem with some Albas. Thanks for posting this and I hope you post a 
long term report. Will most likely have some Noodles, Midges, Mary bars, 
and others to move on to new owners in the near future.
 
Best,
Sean

[RBW] Sackville Backabike Bags

[sean]

Hello Riv group,

I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with the new Sackville 
Backabike rear bags (panniers)? I'm curious about these but wonder how they 
actually attach to a rear rack? Just using straps through the grommets? Any 
review on how secure they are to the rack? These have peaked my interest, 
but I am hesitant as I hate it when panniers aren't attached securely and 
float around during a ride. I really like my Carradice Super C bags which 
have a secure, ratchet attachment system but am looking to maybe throw some 
Sackvilles into the mix. I love my Sackville shopsack and hope to add 
something of similar quality.

Thanks for any insight!

[RBW] Re: Sackville Backabike Bags

[sean]

Thanks for the insights Richard and Liesl. I'll be attaching the bags to a 
Surly rear rack which is certainly stout and hardy. I've since moved the 
Carradice panniers to the front and with the potential addition of the 
Backabike bags, along with my Shopsack in the Wald and my Lowsaddle 
Longflap in the rear I'll be fully loaded for groceries, camping, 
commuting...well...anything for that matter. My LHT rig looks like a 
similar setup to your custom, Liesl. Gotta love those Bosco bars!

[RBW] FS: Rivendell Rambouillet 50 cm complete (blue) - $1300

[sean]

Hello fellow Rivendellians,

My riding style and priorities have changed over the last couple of years. 
Currently doing alot more kid and grocery hauling on the Big Dummy than 
riding 200k's on this beautiful machine. So I am offering it up here. 
Purchased from Riv and most of it is standard Riv build. Here are the specs:

Frame/fork: 50cm Rivendell Rambouillet (blue)
Headset: Shimano Ultegra
Stem: Nitto Technomic Deluxe
Handlebars: Nitto Noodle 41cm with tressostar shellacked cloth tape and 
velox bar plugs
Brake levers: Shimano Tiagra w/ Tektro interrupter levers
Shifters: Dura Ace downtube (9 speed)
Brakes: Shimano Ultegra 
Cranks: Sugino XD triple (170mm)
Front Der.: Shimano 105
Rear Der.: Shimano Ultegra
Hubs: Shimano 105
Tires: Panaracer Pasela (w/TG on rear)
Cassette: Shimano Ultegra 9 spd (I think, but could be 105)
Front bag: Sackville trunksack (small)
Front rack: Nitto Mark's Rack
Rear rack: Viva saddlebag support
Rims: 26". Not sure here. Came from Rivendell without stickers.Either way 
the rims are classic Riv and have been great.
Bell: Crane

Pics are here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/85317282@N02/

I believe Riv still has the geometry chart somewhere on the site. I have an 
old link to it I can send along. I am planning on keeping the Brooks saddle 
and the Carradice Barley rear saddlebag (seen in the pictures). I'll also 
keep the Look Keo pedals. So no saddle, pedals, or rear saddlebag included.

I checked with my local shop with regards to a professional pack and ship. 
The quote was $200 for the complete bike without the racks/bag. I can try 
to ship those separately for an additional fee or the shop can probably 
send them for a total shipping cost of $225 (includes insurance). I am 
attaching a few pics and will send along others. 

So, cost would be $1300 for local pickup, $1500 for professional packing 
and shipping (minus racks/bag) or probably $1525 including the racks and 
bag.

This bike is a great randonneuring bike.Please let me know off list if 
you're interested. Would love it to go to a good home and continue to serve 
as a great brevet bike.

Would also consider trading for a like sized (48cm) Hunqapillar. Been 
riding alot more dirt than pavement lately.

[RBW] Re: No love for the Albastache?

[sean]

Another Albastache lover here! I've got them mounted on a Dirt Drop stem on 
my Crust Romanceur. Excellent bar for those of us who get no comfort from 
drops. I find them much more functional than a drop bar anyway as 
they provide better leverage when climbing. As others have mentioned, 
proper setup is key.

Hello Rivsters,

Looking to trade a new, never mounted (and still in plastic with quill

Will also consider trading for 25.4 Tallux in 7cm.

[RBW] Matt from Crust - PLP Talks

Hello Rivsters,

I know there is some Crust love among my fellow Rivendellians. Well, Russ 
at PLP has a great interview with Matt from Crust.

Riv content (spoiler) - Matt expresses his admiration for Grant and 
Rivendell.

[RBW] Re: Matt from Crust - PLP Talks

[sean]

Yeah, I appreciate the ability of people to not take themselves too 
seriously and just love bikes and what they're doing. Matt comes across 
like a straight-up good guy. Agree on the Ultraromance interview as well. 
Poppi seems like a much more down-to-earth person than I would have 
imagined from Instagram (I don't get the whole appeal of Instagram anyway, 
but maybe it's my age). Both of these guys are promoting the best things 
about riding bikes and smart bike design and seem to be picking up the 
torch that Rivendell lit long ago. The fact that someone can make bikes 
that they (and their friends) want to ride and someone can make a "living" 
bicycle touring is pretty amazing in and of itself.

Speaking of the towel rack, looking forward to seeing what this Crust shaka 
bar is all about too. 

Much like the mainstream industry cribbed from Grant/Riv, I suspect they'll 
be doing the same from Matt/Crust.

[RBW] Re: Matt from Crust - PLP Talks

[sean]

I agree about the initial "inside joke" thing (probably because I just 
can't stomach much of Instagram), but I came to realize it's not like that 
at all. As the owner of a relatively new Crust romanceur, I can attest that 
the stuff Matt is producing is top notch. The detail and finish (on a 
production frame) is excellent and the ride quality fantastic. He also is 
trying to produce more MUSA frames as well. I also appreciate the fact that 
all these people ride and ride hard. I can't think of better, real-world 
product testing. I mean, Matt and Goat have ridden all over the world 
putting modified Surlys through the paces in the early days.

I feel drawn to Crust the same way I was drawn to Rivendell so many years 
ago. Still lust after Rivs (especially customs), but Crust has captured 
that same interest (built around disc brakes which, for me, are a 
functional improvement in my daily cycling world). Wish I had waited for 
the arrival of the Lightning Bolt. That frameset looks amazing with the 
raw, clear-coated fillet brazing.

[RBW] Re: Austin Tx cycling and Bobish shops

[sean]

This coming week will be a bit insane with SXSW going on. Lots of traffic 
and crowds. Plenty of good riding however outside of the downtown circus. 
For Bobish shops:

The Peddler
CycleEast (already mentioned)
Eastside Pedal Pushers
Bicycle Sport Shop (major dealer, but has some Bobish stuff and cool 
mechanics/staff)

When in South Austin:

BikeAlot (easily the best bike shop in South Austin and Brad is a master of 
Rivish/Bobish builds).

[RBW] Re: An even fatter (F)atlantis!

[sean]

Mark,
you and Pondero have got to have the best looking Atlantai I've ever seen. 
The build definitely makes that frameset (which is already impressive) even 
more impressive and versatile. Wish I had to coin to add an Atlantis to the 
stable. My LHT seems a bit of a journeyman in comparison.

Beautiful rig.

[RBW] Re: Bags for small bike owners (48cm Hunqs, 47cm Sams, Atlanti, etc.)

[sean]

I used to ride a 50cm Rambouillet and used a Viva saddlebag support for my 
Carradice lowsaddle longflap. Kept the bag off the rear tire nicely. It 
mounts to the seatpost and I'm thinking it may be smaller than the 
Carradice Bagman support.

510 dirtbags or freeriders. Great grip, stiff enough sole, and fine for

[RBW] Re: WTB: 51cm Soma San Marcos or 54cm Rambouillet Frameset

[sean]

Depending on your price point, Alex's Cycle in Japan still has some smaller 
size Rambouillet frames.
https://alexscycle.com/collections/randonneur-frames/products/rivendell-rambouillet-frame-front-fork-1
 $1400 isn't bad for a new Toyo-built Ram with free shipping (compared to 
Riv's frame costs nowadays). As a former Rambouillet owner and current San 
Marcos owner (51cm no less), I can attest to both bikes possessing 
excellent ride characteristics. Definitely prefer the SM's 650b wheels 
though. Thinking if you're looking at a 51cm San Marcos, you could search 
for a 52cm Ram as well as the 54cm.

Good luck in your search.

I just saw the FS post for the 54cm. Good price too. Sounds like

[RBW] Re: 52cm, 650b-wheeled Quickbeam for sale.

[sean]

Great looking Quickbeam! Wow, very tempting and in my size. I've been 
looking for a Quickbeam and never thought one would emerge. Just as it is 
hard to sell small sizes, it's also hard to find them. 

Now if I could only scrounge up the money...:)

Hope you get a sale. That is a beautiful bike!

[RBW] Quickbeam inquiry

[sean]

Hello fellow Rivendellians,

Quick question on the last run of Quickbeams (silver color with caliper 
brakes and mid-fork rack braze-ons) - I am perusing old geo charts on the 
interwebs and I can't tell if Riv actually made a 51cm in this silver run. 
51cm is my magic number and I currently have a San Marcos in 51cm that is a 
great fit. I think Riv began spec'ing the smaller Quickbeams with 650B 
wheels back around 2009? Does anyone recall this and if they still produced 
the smaller size 51cm prior to shifting to the Simple One?

I can look through all my old Riv Readers and catalogues, but I figured 
this may be a faster approach,

Thanks,
Sean

Re: [RBW] Re: Carradice Super C Pannier question

[sean]

Hi John,

I use Super C's on a daily basis and can't "wax" on enough about them (get 
it? :) I have both the mini/universal front panniers and the rear (large) 
panniers. These bags are bomb proof, look great with wear, and keep the 
rain out. I have never had a problem with losing anything out of the 
smaller, rear pockets. Usually I carry tubes in there, water bottles, or 
bombers of beer when I'm grocery shopping. The two large rear panniers can 
each swallow an entire 12-pack box of Topo Chico (glass bottles) without 
any problem. And I have room to stack other sundries on top. Grocery 
shoppers are shocked when they see me stuffing these large boxes into my 
bags. The bags can even be overstuffed as well since there is ample room on 
the webbing straps by just adjusting the placement of the fastex buckle.The 
top straps (where the "carry webbing" is) also can be adjusted to cinch 
down flat items across the top of the bags. As you can probably tell, I 
routinely grocery shop with these formidable bags.

The "new" system of hooks is a VAST improvement over the older ratcheting 
system. It basically involves slotting the provided spacers (for different 
diameter rack tubes) into the hooks and using the newer spring-mounted 
latch as the 3rd securing point to the rack. The lower anti-sway bar is 
easy to adjust and together these work great to keep the bags secure while 
also enabling easy removal.

I love SJS and shipping /cost time has never bothered me, you could try 
BikeShopHub in Tucson: 
https://www.bikeshophub.com/product-category/carradice-bags/carradice-panniers 
but 
will pay more.

Woops, it looks you've already purchased from SJS. Well done! You're gonna 
love these bags.

Re: [RBW] Re: Carradice Super C Pannier question

[sean]

Hi John,

The outside front pockets can easily fit a wallet. phone, keys. However, I 
wouldn't recommend storing those things in such a vulnerable place (low to 
the ground, near the wheel, kind of out of line of sight - might miss if 
things pop out).

The front panniers are great but the base is indeed smaller. You can 
probably cram some binders in there, but not an optimum fit. Much better 
for soft goods (clothes, loaves of bread, etc)

Re: [RBW] The Clem preorder that I don't think anyone posted about yet

[Sean]

I look forward to giving you one! Ordered one of the yellow completes and 
am super excited! One thing I was wondering if anybody has ever tested 
out.. the bike I am bout to sell is a mountain bike that I've used the kids 
"shotgun" seat on to take my son along for rides.. does anyone have any 
experience trying this style of seat out on the Clem?? I am pessimistic it 
will work but will definitely try it out!

 Tio Ryan,
 I have had a long and loving history with both Clem and Platypus. If 
 Rivendell made a non-burly Clem, I’d be all over it. I loved my Clem but 
 it 
 was more frame than I needed. My Platypuses are much more nimble and 
 light-feeling. I don’t know your size/stature, but if you are slight of 
 frame and build, I’d recommend the Platy. If you are a big strong tough 
 guy, I bet you’d like a Clem!

[RBW] Re: For Sale : 60cm Riv Sam

[Sean Conroy]

Ended up selling the wheelset separately, so I swapped in the original 
Deore/Velocity wheels. Selling the bike now for $1800. Located in Vienna, 
VA 22180.

[RBW] FS: Dura Ace Bar Ends Shifters & Pods, 41cm Noodles

[Sean Steinle]

Noodles had cotton bar tape with shellac so plenty of residue and the 
shimano pods have shellac and some scuffs. Nothing has anything beyond 
cosmetic wear. Fee-free payment (plenty of history here and i-BOB) shipped 
CONUS.

Noodles - $40 
Dura Ace Bar Ends (SL-BS77 8s/9s) - $65

Thanks,
Sean in Kansas

Leah!

I'm in! Navy Pier can be a bit of a tourist trap, and might be hard to lock 
up a big number of bikes. Along the trail are a few cafe stands, and 
there's also a handful around Buckingham Fountain (with restrooms).

[RBW] Re: Sam Hillborne at Paris Brest Paris

[Sean Keesler]

Hey, that's me! ;)
Yes, it's my bike of choice for sure. I took it into the Adirondacks loaded 
with a basket and rear panniers just before PBP for a week. It can do 
almost anything I ask of it. 
My others are a Bianchi from the 80s (that I sorta restored and take to 
Florida in the winters) and a Fuji Sportif endurance bike that would also 
have gotten the job done.
I don't make a big fuss about the bike when making these vignettes. There 
are so many people talking about the tool that I figure I'll leave that to 
them. It turns out a LOT of people also filmed their PBP adventure!

[RBW] 60cm Rivendell Atlantis up for auction!

[Sean McDermott]

Hello all, 

Though I don't work at this community bike shop, I still wanted to make 
sure everyone here on the list knew about this Atlantis up for auction. I 
have seen it in the shop, and it is in pristine condition. The guy who 
donated it literally did not ride it more than a few miles. Hopefully 
someone can snag a good deal!

Re: [RBW] Re: FS - Ron's Bikes Fabios Fanny - Golidlocks

[Sean Steinle]

I think 44cm noodles is right at the minimum of what I'd consider running a
fanny on. On my 42 noodles, the bag fits with space, but I definitely
notice it's there, and there is some rub on my fingers if I wrap them
around the ramps. Also, the side pockets are very finicky with 42s,
couldn't say how they'd do on 44s but they're almost worthless with 42s.

[RBW] Re: FS - Nitto Tallux (7cm, 26mm), Nitto S83 Seatpost, and Riv Cork Grips

Whoops, thanks Kai! I mistyped. It's an S84 Nitto Lugged seatpost. 

Kim, the seatpost is  27.2 x 250

[RBW] Re: WTB: your near-new tires, 700 x 40 ish

Hey Neil,

I bought a pair of Compass 700C x 38 Steilacoom TC – Extralight, Tan a 
little more than a year ago for ~$174 (through Blue Heron Bikes) and rode 
them ~30 miles before deciding that I didn't ride enough grass or mud to 
warrant them. Are these wide enough for you?

Happy on Barlow Pass,
Sean

Re: [RBW] Re: Problems with Nitto stems and bars?

[Sean Ryan]

I had some ticking/clicking on an older pair of aluminum nitto handlebars 
and i took care of it by laying the bike and applying oil to the bars at 
the edge of the sleeve.  The idea is to let the oil make its way down 
between the bars and the sleeve.  After letting it soak/penetrate for a 
little while i wiped down the bars and they have been silent ever since.  
if the noise is coming from the handlebar/sleeve area this may help.

[RBW] FS - Ocean Air Docena MKII - Burgundy

Finally time to move this bag. Used for less than a year, and not that much 
at that. Tried to capture everything in pics. Two clean holes in the back 
from mounting. The back plastic insert is creased a bit, as you can see in 
pics. 

Pics 

Looking to get $240 shipped. If this feels out of line, make an offer!

Re: [RBW] Sam sizing advice

[Sean B.]

I'm 5'9" and have a PBH of 83cm. I spoke with Grant and Vince and they both 
suggested a 51 AHH for me. I do ride in a city, so a lot of stops at 
lights. The extra stand over does benefit the start and stop. YMMV.

 I’m 5’ 9” (used to be 5’ 10”) and measured my PBH at 83.  I measured it 
 again to be sure I was doing it right, then again a couple of weeks later.
 Every bicycle I had from 1975 on was 700c.  There was no way I was 
 going to go 650b.  I ordered a Sam in 2015, and Will set me up with a 55 
 Cm 
 frame even though I did not mention my aversion to 650b.  The SOH of that 
 frame was listed at 83.3.

 My Sam felt just a little “tall” for me.  Sliding off the seat forward 
 at a stop took some getting used to.  I did adapt, however, and now the 
 Sam 
 feels like it is part of me when I ride.

 Last year I got a 51 Cm Homer (650b), to see if a smaller frame would 
 be better.  It is MUCH too small.  Don’t do that.

 So I’m with J L.  Call Riv, and believe what they set you up with.  If 
 they try to set you up with a frame that takes 650b, and you don’t want 
 650b, buy something else.

 As for another model similar to a Sam, look for a Soma Saga.  A 
 Platypus is also listed as “a country bike”, but it feels nothing like a 
 Sam, while the Saga does.  I do think a good used Sam from the 2014 - 2017 
 era would be a good fit, and the 54 Cm probably would, too.  If you slide 
 off the seat, be sure to land on your toes.  ;-)

[RBW] Re: WTB: 58cm Saluki Frame or Bike

[Sean Steinle]

This may be too many hoops to jump through, but last I checked with Riv, 
they had a Saluki headbadge and decals they were willing to sell me if I 
ever got my frame repainted. Since it's the same bike, it's not like it's 
cheating, you'd have as much of a genuine Saluki as any of the others.

[RBW] FS: Berthoud Aspin Open Saddle - Brown and Selle Anatomica X1 - Oxblood Copper

[Sean B.]

Hello,

Looking to get rid of some of my extra saddles. Buyer pays shipping of 
their choice (USPS, UPS, ect). Both saddles are in great shape. 

$190 - Berthoud Aspin Open Saddle - Brown. It's been ridden just under 150 
miles. Treated once on both sides with Obenaufs.  

$90 - Selle Anatomica  X1 - Oxblood Copper. Ridden once, so lets say 20ish 
miles ridden. Never treated.

Let me know if you have any questions or want more pictures!

[RBW] Re: Riv-ish Top Tube Protection

[Sean B.]

I use one of the mini protectors from Blue Lug to keep my bar end shifters 
from scratching the TT . They also make full top tube protectors too.
