It's amazing how much stuff you collect over a few years. I have gone
through my parts bin and various other cubbyholes around my house where
parts and accessories seem to gather.
All prices include shipping. If you are interested in something and think my
price is out of line - please let me know
Over the past week I have been consciously paying attention to my body
and reminding myself to relax. Thanks to those on this list who made
that suggestion. I do believe this has helped. I was doing this, but I
don't think I was really doing it well. I was focusing on some parts
of my body but not
Okay...
Have leads on a 57 & 55 (fellas with those--didn't forget about either
of you, just was waiting until I had a Professional bike-fitting,
which I had earlier today)...
The 57 won't work, the 55 will and would now like to up the ante of
possibility by adding: any chance someone has a 53cm Bl

Zaelia: I'm sorry to hear about the confusion. Can you post a photo or two of

2) in the hooks,

I know that this will be hard to do, but if these photos could be

Zaelia, sorry to hear about your troubles with getting the right bike
fit.
That being said, please read the remainder of this message
understanding that it is rather biased :) I am extremely skeptical
of "professional" bike fitting.
I think you're better off just getting the right leg extension
Matt, that is exactly what I did with my Sam Hilborne. I got the seat right
(height) then carried a wrench with me and adjusted the handlebar height. Then,
seat fore and aft and finally rechecked the seat height. It took a few days of
tweeking but the ride is very nice now and I at 60 wake up e
I have a 55. You would fit right or be a bit big on it. I have a 55
and the top tube fits well.

Most bike shops will recommend smaller frames than Rivendell would. My guess
is that if you were able to ride a 59, a 53 will be too small. Go with the 55.
You're lucky to have found it if it works for you.

Great stuff. I ordered the couplers this weekend. They'll be ready for
me to install when I take delivery of the Sam in 7 weeks or so.
Seems pretty do-able. I am having riv set me up with albatross bars on

I recently overhauled the bearings on my Gripkings (first time messing
with ball bearings ever) and they are not spinning quite like I'd want
them to. The right pedal, which I did second and I think put more
grease on and did more carefully, is having a bit of a click from time
to time, which I've
I have a pair of the VO Touring pedals. No issues so far, they spin
nice and smooth, though they haven't seen significant rain. I wear a
size 9 and use toe clips, so while I find them comfortable and plenty
grippy, your feet may vary.
The City pedals would have more cornering clearance, but a sm
I came across this stem, made by Nitto for Tokyo Fixed (a UK company)
while cruising some blogs:

Obviously not a cheap component, but very nice. It reminded me of
some of the early Cinelli stems.

I have a pair of VO touring pedals on my Rambouillet and have been
very happy with them. Nice, wide, smooth...no adjustments needed (I
ride in LOTS of rain...sad to say). I also have three pairs of MKS
touring pedals on other bikes and I really like them. You do have to
put grease in them out of
This is what is left after the first day. I have dropped some of the
prices to help this stuff find a home. Still looking to put this stuff
in the hands of people that will use it well. If I included the phrase
"cost of shipping" in an item, I mean to convey that I am only trying
to recoup the ship
These Nigel Smythe Big Loafer bags went to their new home today.
Thanks to all who responded.

Here is the story: About a month ago I gave my mom a mid-80's Miyata
615 all country'd out with big tires, dirt drop stem, moustache bars,
and fenders as a Mother's day present. She absolutely loves it and
has been riding it a lot, but wants the shifters (downtube) up higher
somewhere on the bars
In a perfect world you, Scott, would get a 55 on loan, put on your
wheels, saddle, handlebars and controls, and a stem sized according to
the bike fitting, and lay down a hundred or so miles on it. By then
you'll know if it's right. And if you try a 53 you should be mindful
that a too-long stem w
