I'd definitely have the shop take a look, but I have to put my two cents in
about Islabikes. My seven year old has a 24" Beinn, and loves it. It's light,
well-made, and fits perfectly. It made her want to ride a bike again, after
being burdened with a mid-80s Schwinn that weighs more than any of
Rivnuts for M5 screws have a 7 or 7.5mm OD, while you'd use a 1/4" (6.35mm)
drill for a brazed in boss, so yes - a hole made for a rivnut will be too big
to braze a boss into later. You could make a custom braze-on boss, but it's
probably not worth the hassle. Correctly installed rivnuts work ve
I've never used a sharpener exactly like that, but my understanding is that
sharpeners of that ilk (the carbide versions being the worst offenders)
tend to leave a rough, almost torn-looking edge (on a microscopic scale)
compared to sharpening with a stone or ceramic rod*. *It probably depends
Sounds like you'll be here for Pedalpalooza - lots of fun rides are
scheduled. Aside from that, I'd recommend Leif Erickson Rd. in Forest Park

trail, then 9-10 miles back to town through the woods) and Apex on Division

Patrick,
Please post your thoughts on these rims when you get them built up - I've
had my eye on the 27.5 and 29 versions of the Equalizer 27*,* for a
multiple-wheelset (disc brake) convertible camping bike.
thanks,
Andrew

Riv's version of these stems had the same hardware. My recollection is that
the quills are friction-welded on, so Grant spec'ed them as long as he
could. Looking closely at one NItto Technomic stem I have in the parts bin,
I can see and feel the joint. I love the look of these stems too (I have
I've got a bike with stainless dropouts, and I'd never ever consider using
stainless fasteners in those. It might be ok if the screw is coated
liberally with anti-seize, but to me it's not worth the risk. I like the
chrome-plated screws NItto supplies. On carbon steel dropouts, sure, but

Everything but the RIvendell is sold and shipped - thank you all very much.
If you bought something and haven't received it yet, please get in touch.

I’ve built myself a new frame that’ll do pretty much everything all my
other bikes needed to do, so it’s time to clean out the shed. I’m selling
my 2001 custom Rivendell and a whole bunch of other vintage/BOB-ish bike
stuff, tools, etc at my yard sale in Portland, Oregon this Sunday, 9/7, but

Hi Shawn.
I'm not sure if you have something specific in mind, but I've got a
wheelset built around a pair of (black) Bullseye hubs and Bontrager
Fairlane rims (rear asym). $60+ plus shipping, unless you're local (I'm in
Portland OR). I can come up with some photos if you're interested.

I wouldn't skip Orcas either - Mountain Lake in Moran State Park is
beautiful, and an easy ride from the campground if that's where you're
staying (pay for rentals at Cascade Lake). You can rent a boat there, and
paddle around for a few hours. There's a fun rope swing on the shore, and a
small
I got mine the other day - it's at the frame shop now. Beautiful! And
better yet, it made my daughter (9 years old) want to go bike camping this
summer. Wa will, as soon as her bike is done.

Lugged stem and boxy bag are sold, but everything else is still available.
I've also added a black Supernova E3 headlight to the list/photos; it's
brand new, never installed, I just ended up with the wrong color (long
story). $140 OBO shipped.
If there's something you're interested in, make an
The rest of the photos are up:

The boxy bag, 28.6 XTR derailleur, and (maybe) the lugged stem are spoken
for, everything else is up for grabs.

Thanks for the suggestions; unfortunately I ended up just working the whole
