[RBW] FS: 52cm Bombadil Complete
Man this is really tough, not at all what I want to do, I love this Bike. I have some serious unexpected expenses that have forced me to make some tough decisions. Hence this is going up for sale. I am the 3rd Owner of this Frame, Fork and Wheels. They were barely used by the first owner and the 2nd owner never even finished building it back up, so practically speaking I am the 2nd owner to ride the bike, although it looks like the 1st owner maybe put a 100 miles on it. It still looks brand new. The only evidence of wear when I got it was the brake surface on the rims, they had very light marks. Condition is a solid 9/10 on the frame and fork. No scratches, dents or anything else to be worried about. The Specialized/Nitto Dirt Drop Stem is the only part on the bike that has scuffs and a scratch. If it bothers you get a new stem. Also the fenders are a little less than perfect with a few dents and 2 extra holes drilled for a front rack. I covered the holes with Foil Tape, looks about as good as one could hope, I never got around to buying a front rack like I had planned. Everything else on the Bike has maybe 500 or so miles on it from new. Wheels are true and no hops. Tires have plenty of life left although I did buy them 2nd hand. Frame and Fork: 52cm Bombadil clear over raw color Twined and Shellac'd chainstay. Headset: Cane Creek Classic 100 1" Cages: Nitto R and Electra/Nitto knockoff cage Seatpost: Nitto Lugged Saddle: Brooks B-17 Special Stem: Specialized/Nitto Dirt Drop Bars: Sycip Singles Bar Grips/bartape: Rivendell Portuguese Cork and Neubaums tape, twined with 5 coats of Shellac Levers: Paul cantilever Shifters: Shimano 8 speed and Paul mounts mounted upside down. Cables & Housing: Shimano Dura Ace Brakes: Shimano XT High Profile and VO Hangers Brake Pads: Kool Stop Salmon Front Der: Shimano Ultegra Rear Der: Shimano Ultegra High normal Cassette: Shimano 12-26 Cranks: Sugino XD2 triple 175mm 24/39/43 I also have a Sugino 40, never got the rings I really wanted easy fix. Pedals: Suntour Superbe Pro. Toe Clips: MKS L Half clips with leather. Wheels: 650B Synergy laced to LX hubs, built by Rich. Tires: 650B 40 mm Fatty Rumpkins Fenders: VO Zeppelin 55mm I am asking $2800 Shipping will be extra but I would hope we can workout local pickup. I would like Paypal or a money order. I am in 90232 http://www.flickr.com/photos/willhrtn/5365030652/in/set-72157625721858877/ Damn that was hard to do. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

[RBW] Re: FS: 52cm Bombadil Frame & Fork
Decided to part with the Frame & Fork only at this point. I may decide to sell some of the parts after the FF sells. Will not include headset. This thing is clean. $1650 Shipped in the lower 48, via UPS. I really need the $$, help me out. My plan is to get back on my feet and eventually buy another FF, so I can build it back similar.

[RBW] FS: Pashley Tube Rider double scoop complete bike
I have this gorgeous Pashley Tube Rider Double Scoop in Pink/ Tourquoise Upgrades include: Nitto Periscopa stem, Nitto bars, mks touring pedals, shimano brake levers, cork grips, a suntour thumbshifter used in friction mode, and basket. I have the original twist shifter and grips as well as the original beach cruiser style bars. All will be included. This was the last one imported from the uk back in '10. I am not sure if these are available anymore state-side from a pashley dealer. I was told last year that the us distributer wasn't importing them anymore. perfect shape not a blemish to be found. no dents cracks etc. there are scuff marks here and there on the pedals and crank arms, just the normal wear. always stored indoors ridden about 1000 miles. wheels are true, everything works perfect. My wife doesnt really ride it much anymore, since she got a go-fast bike. $625 shipped in the lower 48. perfect town bike. http://www.flickr.com/photos/willhrtn/sets/72157626556037328/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

[RBW] FS: Pashley Tube Rider Complete Bike, new post
I have this gorgeous Pashley Tube Rider Double Scoop in Pink/ Tourquoise Upgrades include: Nitto Periscopa stem, Nitto bars, mks touring pedals, shimano brake levers, cork grips, a suntour thumbshifter used in friction mode, and basket. I have the original twist shifter and grips as well as the original beach cruiser style bars. All will be included. This was the last one imported from the uk back in '10. I am not sure if these are available anymore state-side from a pashley dealer. I was told last year that the us distributer wasn't importing them anymore. perfect shape not a blemish to be found. no dents cracks etc. there are scuff marks here and there on the pedals and crank arms, just the normal wear. always stored indoors ridden about 1000 miles. wheels are true, everything works perfect. My wife doesnt really ride it much anymore, since she got a go-fast bike. $550 Bike only, shipping is extra, I got a quote on shipping via ups/ fedex says it will be around $80 to the east coast (depending on location could be cheaper), local pickup is also an option. perfect town bike. http://www.flickr.com/photos/willhrtn/sets/72157626556037328/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

[RBW] FS: 52cm Bombadil Complete or Frame & Fork
Still on the chopping block unfortunately I am the 3rd Owner of this Frame, Fork and Wheels. They were barely used by the first owner and the 2nd owner never even finished building it back up, so practically speaking I am the 2nd owner to ride the bike, although it looks like the 1st owner maybe put a 100 miles on it. It still looks brand new. The only evidence of wear when I got it was the brake surface on the rims, they had very light marks. Condition is a solid 9/10 on the frame and fork. No scratches, dents or anything else to be worried about. Like new for real, consider that with my asking price. The Specialized/Nitto Dirt Drop Stem is the only part on the bike that has scuffs and a scratch. If it bothers you get a new stem. Also the fenders are a little less than perfect with a few dents and 2 extra holes drilled for a front rack. I covered the holes with Foil Tape, looks about as good as one could hope, I never got around to buying a front rack like I had planned. Everything else on the Bike has maybe 500 or so miles on it from new. Wheels are true and no hops. Tires have plenty of life left although I did buy them 2nd hand. Frame and Fork: 52cm Bombadil clear over raw color Twined and Shellac'd chainstay. Headset: Cane Creek Classic 100 1" Cages: Nitto R and Electra/Nitto knockoff cage Seatpost: Nitto Lugged Saddle: Brooks B-17 Special Stem: Specialized/Nitto Dirt Drop Bars: Sycip Singles Bar Grips/bartape: Generic Cork and Neubaums tape, twined (recently swapped to generic Cork grips) with 5 coats of Shellac Levers: Paul cantilever Shifters: Shimano 8 speed and Paul mounts mounted upside down. (recently switched to silver mounts) Cables & Housing: Shimano Dura Ace Brakes: Shimano XT High Profile and VO Hangers Brake Pads: Kool Stop Salmon Front Der: Shimano Ultegra Rear Der: Shimano Ultegra High normal Cassette: Shimano 12-26 Cranks: Sugino XD2 triple 175mm 24/39/43 I also have a Sugino 40, never got the rings I really wanted easy fix. Pedals: Suntour Superbe Pro. Toe Clips: MKS L Half clips with leather. Wheels: 650B Synergy laced to LX hubs, built by Rich. Tires: 650B 40 mm Fatty Rumpkins Fenders: VO Zeppelin 55mm I am asking: $2200 Complete ($2000 If you can pay today or Friday after Friday it will be back up to $2200) $1250 for frame and fork ($1100 if you can pay today or Friday after Friday it goes back to $1250) Shipping will be extra but I would hope we can workout local pickup. I would like Paypal or a money order.

[RBW] Re: How to remove black anodizing from aluminum handlebars?
Very easy...Draino liquid gel. takes about 30 minutes to soak and then hose it off. You dont want to let it soak more than an hour or 2 though. I did this to a black ano chainring and it looked factory matte silver when I was done. I had to gently scrub it a little and did it in 3 passes, soak, rinse/scrub, rinse, dry repeat. If you do it right they will look factory finished. You wont be able to do this with the bars but for smaller parts I used a ziplock freezer bag to soak the chainring. good luck On May 17, 5:24 pm, reynoldslugs wrote: > LL at Archival Clothing (owner of a beautiful blue Vanilla) and I were > discussing a problem - - how to remove black anodizing from otherwise > nice handlebars? > > I love Salsa Bell-Lap bars, but am not crazy about the black finish. > If there is a way to remove the black and return them to a nice silver/ > aluminum finish, that would be the holy grail of handlebars. > > Anyone have any secret methods for accomplishing this? > > thanks. > RL -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

[RBW] Re: How to remove black anodizing from aluminum handlebars?
I doubt that short (30minute) dips would do anything bad. I have never had a problem with pitting even after an hour soaking in draino gel. While I have never done handlebars, I have done chainrings, brake levers, cranksets and frames, etc..never had a problem. I wouldn't hesitate doing a handlebar myself. That is not to say that I am an expert or that you shouldn't be careful. Oven cleaner is another story, I have seen that eat at the surface of aluminum after an hour. Wasn't pretty, and turned the part black (black came off if you scrubbed it gently) I have had discussions with smarter people than me about this stuff and the consensus was that the draino gel isn't strong enough to cause issues for the short durations we are soaking our parts. Still if its your first time maybe try a junk part and see for yourself. I really don't think its an issue, but am happy to be corrected by someone with experience with this sort of thing. A separate issue: I have never had a problem with the finish over a long period of time due to oxidation, although I believe that is an issue, maybe it doesn't show itself for 10 years or more. I just haven't seen it pop up. On May 18, 4:46 am, Brett Lindenbach wrote: > Not to rain on anyone's parade but be careful. First, caustic soda can melt > eyeballs, so wear proper eye protection.

[RBW] Re: How to remove black anodizing from aluminum handlebars?
One more point I should clarify in my instructions: when you dip the part check on it every 10 minutes. you may find that you only need the part in there for 20 minutes or even less before you pull it out to rinse the first time, if you have scrubby brush you can scrub the part gently and see the finish come off even while its soaking in the draino, that will speed the process up a little. I am not sure how even the finish will be if you can't dip the whole bar all at once, but wouldn't be a big deal if your wrapping most of it in tape eventually. Cyclotourist - give us your report if you do your bars. On May 18, 10:48 am, williwoods wrote: > I doubt that short (30minute) dips would do anything bad.

Thanks guys for the tips... I am familiar with de-anoing parts but thought it would be a real shame to remove the anodizing if someone really needs black but only has silver. I suppose I could buy silver and then sell too.. oh well was just looking for the easy way. Will On Nov 16, 6:07 am, Garth wrote: > You can remove the black anodizing yourself.

[RBW] Custom Stem? Who makes a worthy one for my Bombadil
Hey guys. So I am having a bit of a dilema. Been riding my Bullmoose bars all week and my hands just arent agreeing with these. I am going to run either Porteur bars or Albatross or something similar with not a whole lot of rise not drop bars. There arent a whole lot of options these days as far as stems go. I believe what I want is a stem that has a bit of rise to it. This way I dont need to run a technomic raised all the way. I really like the Nitto Lugged stems and have thought about running a threadless Nitto with a Quill adapter. But that seems kinda silly. Another option I saw that I really liked was the Nitto Reversable stem but it looks like the only ones around are 60mm and those are $130..not that bad really but I think I need at least an 80mm, man these are so cool. Wish I could find an old Diamond Back MTB that had a similar stem stock on em also a nitto made item. I know about the Nitto Dirt Drop stems but honestly I find them a bit uglyis that silly of me? So the last thing I am contemplating is a Custom stem. If I get a custom stem made I would like to get something made that is similar to a lugged nitto, something that will match the personality of my frame and lugged seatpost I have.

The Ideal stem would be a Lugged quill Nitto stem with rise at least 80mm. I will check out Rick Hunter. thanks for the tip folks.

[RBW] Re: 47 cm Atlantis finds new home
I almost bought this bike just cause the price seemed soo right. It would have been a bit small for my wife, I would have just flipped the frame and bought a correct sized one. Glad I held off cause seems like it worked out perfect for you. It was crazy that it was on CL for so long at that crazy price. Everytime she posted it I had to hold back from emailing her and setting up the buy. Will -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

wow I would be carefull. I bought my son a sweater as well as the jerseys I plan on riding with.

[RBW] Re: My first new Rivendell (ok Hillborne)
I have to disagree with some of the statements. V-brakes are just easier not to screw up during setup (fewer adjustments, fewer things to setup wrong), thats really the only major advantage, there is a small leverage benefit but canti's have better modulation in general. If you setup Canti's properly and run the right brake pads and proper short pull levers they will stop as well as any cable actuated rim brake will maybe even as good as cable discs. I have bikes that run Canti's that you can lock up the wheels with 1 finger. I have also used V-brakes that sucked. The trick is older Canti's can be a pain to setup right, Im talking XT cantilever brakes here or similar. Or really any kind that uses the plain non-threaded post mount brake pads, except the 90's Avid Cantilever brakes those are the best for setup ever. Most of it is about geometry though. You have to have the Straddle cable setup right and then have to have the brake pads hitting the rim at 90 degrees and toed in, most of the poorly performing Canti brakes are not adjusted to the correct geometry. Proper setup of Canti Brakes is a bit of a lost art these days. Nowadays the Tektro CR720 Cantilever Brakes are just about as easy to setup as V brakes, mostly due to the fact that they use regular V- brake style brake pads. The only thing more fiddly on these is setting up the straddle cable correctly. The Pauls would also be just as easy to setup right, or again any canti brake that uses the threaded V brake brake pads. anyway thats my 2 cents.

[RBW] FS: Bullmoose bars, Canti Brakes, Levers, Stems, Cassette, Drop Bolts, Stronglight and more...
My first for sale post here, but I have sold many items on other websites, I hate ebay. Anyway the prices are not shipped but I am very reasonable, shipping for most items is only $5 if its under a pound and is a relatively small item. The Bullmoose bars will be $14 to ship anything else will be cheaper for shipping obviously. If you buy multiple items I will give a discount in the total price cause I like to make sure you are stoked. I will take paypal for payments and local pickup is fine if you are in the Los Angeles area. here is the list: Stronglight 49D cranks skipooth ring. 170mm. this is a very clean crankset, $80 World Class Ti BB One of the cups is mismatched but will work fine. maybe you have a cup you can use many will fit. Spins super smooth $25 Shimano 36 ring 110 bolt spacing $5 nice quality generic quill stem 1 " 115x5 degree 25.4 $15 Bontrager recessed bolt stem with gusset 1inch quill 110mm $35 LX front der. in great shape. 28.6mm top pull. bottom swing. $15 Campy Mirage triple front der. 28.6mm bottom pull used for a few miles. $20 XT BB UN 72 in great shape. spins like butter. 68mm x 107mm $15 Shimano BB UN 73 in great shape used a few time. Spins like butter. 68mm x 115mm (need to double check spindle length) $15 Headset brake hanger 1 inch $3 Shimano M-750 NOS rear hub. 32 hole. $25 Sram 850 8 speed 11-32 cassette. Used once and replaced. Essentially brand new. $15 Tektro CR720 cantilever brakes very gently used bought here a few weeks ago. Logo has been removed without marring finish in any way. $35 Tektro R200 brake levers very gently used bought here a few weeks ago. small blemish on one of the levers but not really noticeable. logo has been removed without marring finish of the levers. $15 Velo Orange Grand Cru MK1 brakes. Used a few times with different brakepads. Brakepads have never seen a rim. I am not including the red straddle hanger but am including the shimano branded ones pictured. Sorry but I am using the ones the came with the brakes. Brakes are in perfect condition. $25 Nitto Bullmoose Bar raw finish 150mm extension. Finish is in good shape (they are raw with clear LOL), There are a few very minor normal blems from mounting brake levers and shifters etc... I got these when I bought my Bombadil 2nd hand. They just didnt work for me and I have found bars that work much better for me. I cant imagine using these again even though I would like to keep em for a just in case scenario, but realistically I need to make room. $90 Campy Drop bolts so you can mount 700c wheels on a 27 inch frame with standard reach center pivot brakes. Finish is flawless campy finish. These are very hard to find, and I paid more for them than I am selling them for. $80 Shimano BL-R550-R brake levers Used but in very good condition, shellac stains where grips would be butted up against. $20 Sugino Chainguard came off my quickbeam crankset used gently. $10 Caramba anti-noodles $15 Travel agent used $10 for pics and other misc items http://www.flickr.com/photos/willhrtn/sets/72157624080877652/ If my price is silly feel free to make offers but I do my best to make sure the prices are reasonable from the get go.

nah its just a little shelf wear no scratches. It was laced up to a NOS wheelset. I wanted the rims so I just unlaced them and put the hub on a shelf. The front hub is not available though.

oh btw lovely bike with one of my favorite gaudy 90's paintjobs, I think the color is wonderful and really like the build you put together. I would jump at the chance to buy one of those. I also like some of the other 700c "performance hybrids" from the 90's like the Bianchi Project 5 and 7's, Klein Adept and Diamond Back Overdrive.

There is a new option on the horizon. Yesterday I was in a bikeshop that sells cruisers and town/commuter bikes. They carry all the Electra bikes and as part of the Ticino line of bikes they make now, have released a copy of the Nitto Touring Cage, I bought one for $20 and its an identical copy of the nitto cage. and for $20 I thought what the hell. They call it their ticino tourist cage. Its a nice option these days. you guys should check out Electra's website for the whole range of components from the Tourist line.

[RBW] New pictures of my Bombadil
Hey Guys, Here are some updated pics of my Bombadil after much tinkering, experimenting and of course plenty of saddle time. Everything functions wonderfully. Swapped out the Bullmoose bars for these Sycip Singles Bar, found my old Specialized branded Dirtdrop stem. This bar is so much more versatile and comfortable than the Bullmoose bars I could never get my hands comy on them, I figure it had to do with the fixed rear-upward angle. As you can see I have these bars rear-downward which feels much more natural. Decided I would run the thumbshifters under the bar so I would have more hand positions, they function near perfect except when I am trying to shift into the lowest gear in the rear its a little awkward but im used to it now and doable just a little stretch to do it. Of course now the rear shifter is now on the left and the front on the right, my brain doesnt have a preference, im totally fine with it. I then added the orange tape (yellow would have been better) and shellacked and twined the whole thing together its about 4/5 coats of shellac. Also twined the chainstay and shellacked that too. Added the Suntour Superbe pedals and they are much better to me than the MKS touring pedals I had. Swapped the Quasi-Moto tires for the Fatty Rumpkins since im not riding in the dirt and was planning on fenders which are the VO Zeppelin model that are used but not too abused. The fenders had several holes from the previous owner that I covered up with Foil tape, I also used a small strip on the seatpost to remind me of my usual saddle height. You can also see that I now have one of the Nitto R cages and a Electra Ticino cage, they look exactly the same. My favorite mod was running the Bell on the exposed threads of the Canti brake hanger. Its a little forward of where you traditionally would run it but I can reach my finger easily to the striker which is pointing up, the position keeps it out of the way which I like. I also had to swap out the headset which was pitted out from being run loose, the new headset is one of the really awesome Cane Creek 100 threaded units which are I think even nicer than a Chris King. I was also running the VO 1st gen brakes but got tired of them cause there was no toe-in adjustment and no spring adjustment. They stopped great but squeeled like crazy and one side of the brke arm on the front always ran too close to the rim. These Shimano brakes are pretty fiddly but I really appreciate the adjustments and was able to get them set-up perfectly. And last but not least I bought a pair of the Paul brake levers cause they are so sexy. The only thing I need now is a front rack, then the build will be complete. I still havent figured out which one I want. Kinda like the VO porteur rack, but im not settled on that yet. Oh yeah then I need bagsit never ends, ah the fun. Other upgrades I would like to do: Paul brakes, Swap out the hubs for White industries or I have some 8spd DuraAce hubs that I could respace to 135mm. Maybe I should just get some rims and build a second set of wheels...well see. I would finally like to get a set of the VO 50.4mm 172.5mm cranks in a 46/30 config. http://tinyurl.com/49vzwzg Any Thoughts? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

I havent tried the Albatross bars. To me the Singles Bar is comfy. You would have to do a side by side comparison. I ride with gloves and am comfy for 15 miles plus no problem.

[RBW] Is the light surface rust on the clear powdered Riv's a long term problem?
Just curious if anyone agrees with various statements/opinions about the clear powdered Rivendell frames I have received on some other forums. Personally im not too worried about it and I love the visual effect of the pattern (see link of pics I provided above), much prefer the texture over it being totally clean. I havent had my frame long enough to know if the rust effect is growing over time or if its the same as it was when it left RBW HQ. Any other raw frame experiences? Here are some of the posts: "Curious, it looks like rust is popping up in various spots under the clear. Wondering if they simply cleared over it all, and it'll stay as is, or if it will spread, or is spreading? " "That rust is an issue." "I have a number of clear powder frames that are 5+ years old with no rust and heavy sweaty use, and there's not a hint of rust. I also was a dealer for Salsa when they were doing a clear powder option, and I talked to Ross about a frame we got that developed rust on the tt in the form of a hand print... he thought it was a big deal and refinished at no cost. Wonder why Riv wouldn't blast those frames first. If there's rust, it wll become an issue." On Jan 18, 10:39 am, williwoods wrote: > I havent tried the Albatross bars. To me the Singles Bar is comfy.

Thanks Jim I just looking for a consensus. I agree im gonna ride the snot out of it, and use my pics as a reference.

[RBW] Re: (Dumb) Mark's Rack Installation Question
Which canti brakes do you have? Low profile or high profile? integrated straddle hangers suck for this reason alone. integrated hangers were made for ease of assembly not for flexibility in setup. Get a non integrated straddle hanger or if you have low profile brakes go with high profile brakes which allow a higher straddle cable placement. On my high profile cantis have the straddle hanger placed at about the bottom headset cup (650b wheel) well out of the way to cause interference. Braking performance is fantastic snappy and no feeling of sponge.

I have a hardware store near me that stocks a LARGE selection of metric stainless steel fasteners. Its one of those Mom & Pop kinds of places thats not the most visible that only the hardcore locals seem to know about thats also been around for ages. call any hardware store near you and ask who locally stocks metric stainless steel fasteners. There should be something around you and it wont be ace hardware.

[RBW] Got Rivendell Bombadil
I am very stoked Found this locally about 3 miles from my place. Bought it without a seat or rear derailleur. Replaced a few parts including new cables and housing swapped brakes, removed a few links from the chain. Rode a few times this weekend. Although my ass is sore from the new Brooks B17 special, I am in love! Rides so smooth and classy all the way. Now just waiting for my slicks to arrive. Plan on getting a front rack but not sure which one. I like the Mini racks and marks rack, but I also saw an ahearn rack at a shop that is amazing. Its more of a 12 pack rack. Let me know what you guys think, sorry for the lighting.
