Re: [RBW] Re: The Windsor Rides!

Thanks Bobby. I rode it in service yesterday. I had a couple amusing shake-down ride experiences: 1. I forgot how easily chrome seatposts slide. My 75.5cm SH was 73cm by the time I got home. Tighten it up, Nancy! 2. I was getting noise shifting into the 32 cog, and this 1973 suntour derai

That's a LOT more than a Rivendell cost back then. Grin. With abandon, Patrick On Sunday, January 26, 2014 10:32:37 PM UTC-7, Bill Lindsay wrote: > > Sure, I'll use it for S24Os. I think the bike probably cost about $150 in > 1973. > > On Sunday, January 26, 2014 7:10:46 PM UTC-8, hsmitham wr

Sure, I'll use it for S24Os. I think the bike probably cost about $150 in 1973. On Sunday, January 26, 2014 7:10:46 PM UTC-8, hsmitham wrote: > > Bill, > > I find it interesting that this was an inexpensive bicycle...cause it > looks outstanding. Curious you said IIRC that you planned using i

Bill, I find it interesting that this was an inexpensive bicycle...cause it looks outstanding. Curious you said IIRC that you planned using it for overnights? ~Hugh "Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving." -- Albert Einstein http://velocipedemusings.blogspot.

[RBW] Re: The Windsor Rides!

Thanks all. I got the racks and fenders installed. It is a lot of work doing this kind of integrated install. The rear has no frame mounted stays. It bolts on at the dropout and then bolts to the fender in two places. The front attaches at the dropout, at the crown with a daruma, and to

What a beautiful bike. You did such fine work. Inspires me to take some rust off my Bridgestone. On Tuesday, January 21, 2014 9:29:48 PM UTC-8, Bill Lindsay wrote: > > > I got my pop's Windsor into rideable condition last night. I rode it > around the block and I'm extremely pleased so far. Th

Bill, Love the picture...that shade of blue on your Dad's bike is spectacular! Enjoy the memories of your Dad and the new memories while you ride the windsor. And I love shake down rides. I've enjoyed the process from afar thank you for keeping us informed.. Cheers, ~Hugh On Tuesday, Januar

[RBW] Re: The Windsor Rides!

Thanks everyone for the kind words. This really has been fun. The racks and fenders setup has really got me excited. Local (SF) retailer BoxDog Bikes has a 20% discount on all fenders through February, in part because we've had no rain. I bought some smooth 700x50 Berthoud Stainless Steel j

[RBW] Re: The Windsor Rides!

Beautiful resurrection job Bill! that is one sweet looking ride. I agree on the Center-pull brakes, I have become such a fan that when I build my next "dream" steel bike I am thinking going with the Modern Dia-Compe 610s. Enjoy the ride On Tuesday, January 21, 2014 9:29:48 PM UTC-8, Bill Lin

This is terrific, Bill. I'm inspired by the flickr set, and it's a great how-to. Can't wait to see how it all comes together with fenders and racks. Many thanks for sharing. Shoji On Wednesday, January 22, 2014 10:25:22 AM UTC-5, Mojo wrote: > > Congratulations Bill. Enjoy the rides with your D
