I'm really excited about the RH crank, makes a nice alternative to the
VO crank. It seems like the RH crank is better thought out. I doubt
it'll happen but I'd love to see RH/Compass do a quality 6spd FW, it
would make for a great drivetrain. I'll most likely sell the VO crank
on my rando bike and

If any of you listers have a Sachs Aris freewheel in your possession that
you don't need, I'm interested in taking it off your hands. I've got a
couple things I'd like to build, and a couple other things that I'd like to
maintain, including having a full on cog-board, so I'd consider buying any
also, individual cogs and even freewheel bodies would be welcome.

Considering they will be made in Taiwan ( less $$) , coupled with

As a matter of trivia, 171mm is the closest mm size to the old-timey 6

Are you, or do you want to be, in position to customize some Sachs fw's?
I'm sure if we worked on improving some of mine you'd be able to keep the
parts that don't work out so well. Seems to me we could swap.
I do have a 6, btw.
I haven't disassembled one, so I have any stray parts.

Here's a crank, made in america, (White Ind) with 130, 110, or 104 spiders
and crank lengths from 150 to 200 mm, with a very low Q.

I have them on my Ebisu All Purpose and Bilenkey Tandem. Great looking and
performing cranks for less money than the $400
I've given an earlier inquirer right of refusal but if I don't hear
from him by Monday they will be up for grabs. One has some scuffing on
the clamp area and they are well used, but apart from said scuffing
they look very good with tape. $70 shipped CONUS.

I think it is interesting, for lack of a better word, that GP is addressing
double top tubes in his latest posting on the Riv site. I respect the living

As a relative lightweight, 2TT is beyond me.
I know the post was primarily about Sam's. However, I load my 150lbs,
with all my racks, bags, and camping gear, on my 56 A. Homer Hilsen

are out here, but some of us don't need a bike
For a lot of reasons I have remained on the fence regarding buying a
Rivendell. Any frame design in my size (54 neighborhood) will stay forever
across the fence, as far as I'm concerned if it incorporates a dual top
tube.
How about at least some percentage assessment of improvement? For example,

I think the DTT (undertubes!) look kinda' cool, although I wouldn't go out
of my way to get one put on, and am not totally hung up on the extra weight
(just a little). I do wonder if they reduce the flex of the frame too
much. A little flex is good. The whole planing thing, not to mention
