[RBW] Lots o' bikes for sale lately

Looks like everybody is selling something Rivendellian. A lot of posts here, a real nice 26" ARon the 'bay (wasn't it for sale here once or twice in the past), and a couple adds for Atlantii and even a Yves Gomes that was ended early

[RBW] WTT: Bar tape

I have several rolls of blue Tressostar and I'm looking for something that will be more neutral or more earthy after shellacing (brown, grey, tan, white, yellow, even orange). Cheers! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To post t

[RBW] Re: Tires for D2R2? Hetre, Fatty Rumpkin, or Col de la Vie?

Fatty Rumpkins wouldn't be bad for the gravel roads, but it seems people who ride them love the Hetres. I don't think that either would be a bad choice. Looks like a great ride, plenty of up and downs. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners

[RBW] Frame pump for 2TT 56cm Hillborne?

I got a new 56 cm Sam Hillborne in July, one with two top tubes, and was wondering if anyone knows what frame pump will fit between the tubes. I tried a few at my LBS, but as top tubes are close together on the 56, none fit. Any suggestions? For the curious, pictures are here: http://www.

[RBW] Re: Tires for D2R2? Hetre, Fatty Rumpkin, or Col de la Vie?

IMO Fatty's are terrible in anything resembling mud. If the course is dry, or if the course is mostly gravel (I've never done the ride, but would like to one of these years) I'd go for them, otherwise I would personally go with CdlVs -- You received this message because you are subscribed to

[RBW] Re: FS: A few leftovers....Dura Ace Hubs and Cane Creek 100 Headset

Any idea if the hubs can be converted for 9/10s use? I've done it with lower end freehubs by swapping out the FH body, but wasn't sure about DA. Also, do the hubs come with Skewers? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To view

[RBW] Re: Schwalbe Marathon Extreme Folding 700 x 40 tires FS

I'd love to be back east riding the D2R2! What an incredible ride. I think the new GB Lierre's would suit a ride like this. A little more tread and a little lighter/narrower then the Hetre but just as fast. Have a blast! ~mike -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the

[RBW] Schwalbe Marathon Extreme Folding 700 x 40 tires FS

Hi, I have a pair of Schwalbe Marathon Extremes used for one 25-mile mixed terrain ride. They have a little dirt on the outside and talc on the inside. No damage, tears, or punctures. They are 42-622 or 700C x 40. They fit on my 29'er but I really wanted to use them on my Rivendell. They were

Some of you may know I ran into a deal on a pair of 620s (his 'n hers) here in Chicago. Just finished re-habbing "hers", and have decided to sell - keeping "his" for now. (It's on the stand, and waiting for my next order from Rivendell - planning an Albatross 2X7 set-up) ) 56C2C - both seat tube

[RBW] Re: What would Taubes put in a Boxy (or Candy Bar) Bag for a long ride

Yea Philip, I know the example wasn't the best and it is funny now that I think about it but Scott impresses me with his resolve and the thing at least for me is, I believe Scott eats a ton of veggies (I rarely did before now) and in spite of the focus on meat and fat in the Paleo/ Atkins blah, bla

Re: [RBW] Tires for D2R2? Hetre, Fatty Rumpkin, or Col de la Vie?

I dunno, man. I've said it before and I'll say it again: I think the Hetres are nice but vastly overrated. Probably can't go wrong using them, but all the others you mention would be just as good. If I were doing that ride (I wish I were!), I'd be on 700c in the form of Jack Brown greens or cyc

Re: [RBW] Tires for D2R2? Hetre, Fatty Rumpkin, or Col de la Vie?

Man, have fun on that! IMHO the premier amateur bike event in the States. As for tires, I don't think you could ever go wrong with Hetres. That's my armchair recommendation :-) On Sat, Aug 20, 2011 at 9:41 AM, Michael Farrell wrote: > Any suggestions on tires (specifically 650b) for next weeke

RE: [RBW] WTB: NIGEL SMYTHE 'BIG LOAFER'

I have one in very good shape. It's the canvas version. Hadn't thought about selling so haven't thought about pricing. It was on an Atlantis for about 200 miles. I like saddlebags better. When I took it off the bike I cleaned it up (there wasn't much cleaning to be done); it looks almost ne

Loved your story in the Riv Reader Scott..I use the now out of production banana bag but also a Carradice for colder weather. I find myself doing something similar when commuting, I just fill my water bottles and don't take anything but my lunch to work (a modest piece of some kind of protein a
