I've certainly gotten into the habit of using a strap on my Silca pump
to get rid of an annoying rattle that occurs without its use. The
pump on my Riv is located beneath the top tube, with a brazed peg on
the head tube to accommodate the pump. Without a strap the pump
vibrates against the rear

Upon the last 10 miles of a 3 day excursion with quite a bit of
climbing, my bike emitted a loud sound that sounded like an elephant
mating call. At first I thought it was the front wheel. The bike
makes the sound when going 15 mph+ and when coasting or when pedaling
backwards at that speed. Ot
I am selling a 57cm Bleriot for $400. I used this frame for two years
to commute to work (800 miles a year). This bike is in good shape and
the reason I am selling it is that I replaced it with a new Saluki.
I would say that the condition of the frame is 7-8 out of 10. Call me

Yeah, I just downloaded Firefox and it opened Joe's blog site with no
problems. Thanks for the suggestion, I guess Microsoft (aka "The
Borg"), obviously doesn't function very well for some applications.
Joe - I think your newly Joe Bell painted Riv looks very nice!

It's got to be either the bb or the freehub, and they both wanted to
be overhauled about 3000 miles ago. My suggestion would be to break
both of them down, do a through inspection of the cup & cones. If OK
repack with new balls.

Wouldn't an elephant's mating call sound more like trumpeting than
he
Is that mating sound a "squeak, squeak, squeak!" or a "tock, tock"? I had my
Riv commuter making such loud,annoying, and troubling knocking and squeaking
noises recently, but only when I powered uphill or accelerated with some
vigah (to quote JFK). I found that tightening the Phil cups cured it. No
I keep coming back to the moustache bars.
Had them on my Atlantis for a little while but eventually changed to
nitto noodles and never went back.
Then i got my AHH and built it up with M'stache again as seen in this

Sounds fun. I used to ride from my house in Canyon to the canyon a
couple of times a week. Back before they had bike trails in the park.
Sure hope I can get up there sometime soon with the Quickbeam.

If you are referring to the metal washer, I faced the rounded side
toward the shifter. That said, I'm not sure it matters.

Colin,
Thanks, it's a custom rack that was built as a prototype model for Tim
Isaac's custom bicycles in Denver, CO way back in 1977. Tim's late
partner, Jock Fisher, was the designer and builder of the rack. At
that time Tim and Jock were working on a touring model bicycle for
which they inten

I've actually broken the "comfortable for 20 miles" barrier I think
that only applies for road use, mixed terrain is a different story as they
work for 30 miles, maybe more. I've rode them for 70 previously, but that

If I do, I'll make sure there is no elephant mating call sound...
