Jason - thanks for the tip. I pulled the seat post out of the Ram's tube
and it came out easily. Further, it turns out that I must've been thinking
of a different bike because the post was pre-cut by the manf. at just the
right length. Nevertheless, I re-greased with anti-seize lubricant and p
Always a good idea to cut excess seat post off to lessen the chances of it

This blog thread caused me to think about why my '04 Ram seems heavier on
the back end than the re-built '72 Fuji finest when I lift it off the

What "shop scales" did you inherit? Is it the kind with a hook that weighs
the whole bike? Digital/analog/both? Did you get a gram scale for small
parts?
The thing to buy, IMO is a food scale. They are super affordable, and
accurate enough, and typically have a capacity up to 5kg (11 pounds
That’s funny and 98.9% sure you are correct sir!

PS: Now get back to it. You must have some twining (or re-twining) left to
do somewhere. And btw, a little shellac carefully administered is the bees

Jumping in as this tails off, but recently I inherited some shop scales and
started weighing everything.
It has only just occurred to me how light our Rivendells generally are in
the grand scheme of things. Rim brakes really do make a difference in how
light the forks can be built and that seem
Ha ha. I guarantee Grant will approve of my build. I'd wager on it.

If my Gallop fork comes in at 840g, then it should be pretty easy to get

Matthias, when I talked to Riv to help choosing between a Homer and
