Good to know. I should read the terms of the communities I'm a part
of! My for-sale Kogswell is off Flickr. At the same time, my Kogswell
on Flickr is For Sale! Hope that's OK for our list. I want a Ram as
a replacement, if that's RBW related:

So, while everyone has a slightly different method, Scott, that may or may
not work, you'd cover all of the bases if you turn the bike upside down and
spray some oil all over the seat, rails, and seat post. Hey, you're a guy -

can fix anything with a little WD-40 and duct tape.

I enjoyed the pictures even though I have no intention of adding a second 57
Bleriot to the one I already have. Looked good to me.

I had creakiness in a couple of my B-17s also. I sprayed just a bit
of liquid silicone inside the saddle just around the nose tensioner/
leather interface. Haven't had a creak since (thousands of miles). I

Folks,
I would question whether the bike is named after the local
congressman, although the RBW folks may have some good details on the
man.
See this bio reference also for Samuel Greely Hilborn:

The name is spelled differently.
I've seen it happen where the leather on the sides of the saddle
creaked when it rubbed on the rails. I smeared proofide on the leather
at the contact points, and the squeak went away.

Subjective opinion. The most I've loaded an AHH with is 240 lbs but I
have hit a few rain filled potholes at speed while sitting in the
saddle with no ill affects to the bike. I agree that the tubes would
most likely buckle before breaking. I ran a Falcon bicycle into a
car at full speed and
Having been through the shifter mill -- including stints with both
Shimano and Campy brifters -- I'm back to DT. Clean, simple, and easy
to use. I do, however, prefer indexed shifting. I bring this up just
to make the point that I'm not stuck on any kind of retro aesthetic.
Of the other options,
Bar end and down tube shifters work in the same way. In fact, I used a Shimano
9 speed bar end set as downtube shifters to upgrade an '96 Trek from 7 600 to
9 speed Ultegra. The shifters functioned the same way on the DT as they did on
the BE. (the original SunTour DT shifters would not handle
Is this a subjective opinion or is this based on fact? Obviously, unweighting
the bike over a pothole or using fatter tires will make a difference.
The problem is, in my case, that I ride at night on dark country roads quite
often. Although, I have lights, I cannot always see every hole or cu
All these Rivendell frames will support riders and gear with 250+
lbs. What will break or crack the frame is a shock from hitting a
hole or curb. Two things will alleviate this: fatter tires and
unweighting your body from the saddle before hitting potholes. An
AHH with 33mm tires should fine f
I tried bar ends last year, after 25 years with DT and 2 with
brifters. I found I really liked the closeness of the shifters when
commuting in heavy traffic or on steep, rolling terrain, where I shift
more often. But I've never gotten bar ends to shift as reliably or
hold the gear consistently a
I can understand why Grant gets upset about having problems aired out
so publicly, but we all need to remember that no process can be
repeated with 100% predictability. I work in a hospital and often

One might consider looking for an old stem shifter mount -- those won't work
on most modern bikes, but they'll work on bikes with quill stems.

One thing to keep in mind when thinking about a Legolas is that it is made
light to make it better for racing. RBW has all kinds of disclaimers and
warnings about this. If you have not done cx before, and your looking for a
