I don't do it, but if you want secure use a bike chain inside an old inner
tube. Use a chain tool to assemble it around the rails and upper seat stay.
Like this but w/ the inner tube around it to protect the finish:

bike from theft?
I appreciate any siggestions. Thanks.

Makes you wonder what other interesting connections exist at RBW. Lot
of Bay Area bike people in that age bracket. Maybe a link between the
"woodsie" bike & some Rivs? Sounds like the same mission, i.e.,
versatility, off-road or on pavement. My Atlantis has never surprised
me off-road.

Leslie apparently one of those untold things at Rivendell. No one
acknowledges it nor do that make a big deal about it.
I thought it was a big deal when I found out about it.

Tom Ritchey was such a key figure in the start of mountain biking and
a remarkable athlete. I didn't realize ( until I looked it up) that he is
the same age as me. To have been building frames so early and so well is a
true gift.

My guess is the Hilsen is the sportier ride. I've owned a Romulus and a
Hilsen, and they felt like the same bike to me.

I have and like both, as well as the helmet cover. They are built well, MUSA,
and rely on large hidden vents instead of "breathable" fabric. I've worn the

proper sized shorts and pants for bicycling too.

Official word from Rivendell is that the Dia-Compe 750 will work on the
Hilsen frame.

I really like the rain jacket from these folks:

I've an old pair of rain pants (REI maybe?) but am replacing those this
autumn with their rain pants:

I do like my Carradice Poncho even though several miles in hard rain will
give me damp shoulders. The cape is like a bike tent keeping everything
under it, bags and all, relatively dry. And you can wear anything at all
under it. I particularly like it in sleet and slushy snow.

I bought a Bern Brentwood, in size XXXL, through Erik's bike shop in MN.
They had the lowest price ($72), free shipping, but most importantly - they
carried the triple-extra large size. REI only goes up to XL.

I love this. I had a Marin Smart Rail sign for a long time that I was going
to make a box out of. I patched a hole in the chicken coop roof with it
instead.
I like the idea of starting from scratch and screenprinting bogus slogans
on coroplast, then making a box out of it. One could even design
Great bicycle photos and the grappling stuff is pretty cool too.

The 610 maxes out at 61mm, so it probably won't work. Sounds like the 750
would be perfect, though. According to VeloBase the range on the 750's is
60-78mm.
I had the 750's on my sidepull Sam for a while and they were really nice.
They fit nicely over a 45mm fender with no pinching and
Squeezing your 135 OL rear down 5 mm won't hurt a thing. I once squoze a

Hi Peter,
Thanks, I would be interested. Do you know what the reach is on these
brakes? Will they work for the Hilsen? Per the geometry chart, the Hilsen
effective brake reach is 65.
