In 2005, I built up a go-fast bike with a Reynolds 853 frame and carbon
fork. Two years later, multiple tweaks to get it comfy had a stem extender
to get the bars up and a B-17 saddle, and bigger cogs in back, and I
realized that it was just the wrong bike for me. I sold it and used the
money to bu
If it's the problem I'm picturing in my mind, the bead is seated too
deap opposite the valve. One other solution may be to deflate the
tube to about 10psi or so and re-seat the bead evenly around by thumb
pressure. Loosen the stem nut all the way too.
Have had it happen a couple of times, usual
Oh how I agree with that sentiment. The day I purchased a Bianchi
Volpe as a present to myself for one weight loss goal was the day I
discovered Rivendell. After buying the Bianchi, of course. In 20/20
hindsight could have waited a day or two longer and ended up with an
Atlantis or Bleriot inste
Well I'm glad to know I'm not the only one with this frustration. Yes, in my
case, like Max's, there is a low spot caused by the bead not seating out in the
correct position, though mine is just to one side of the valve stem, not on the
opposite side.
I previously thought this poroblem was the

RIms = $200 shipped
Arms = $60 shipped
Rack = $50 shipped
$275 shipped if you want all three. That gets me started toward paint for
my Stumpjumper.

"Elmer Templeton"? Is that it? I'm guessing there's an Oregon Trail-Ezra

Looking forward to the name as well. I have faith in Grant et al to come up
with a good one...but I have to say, it does seem like they've been boxing

me no standover room whatsoever even though it is really comfortable I am

Thought the group might be interested in seeing the latest additions to
Patrick's former Motobecane. I recently added a dynamo lighting system based on
a D6 "bottle" generator, using B&M's seatstay mount. I works quite well, and
the drag (at least on this fixed-gear bike) is barely perceptible.
Nice work!
How do you like that Brooks saddlebag? Any thoughts or points of comparison
to the Carradice or Riv saddlebags?

Eric: I see the answer to my earlier question below. I may get a D6 for the
trike -- IIRC they are only $50 or so -- instead of a dyno hub to replace
the draggy Soubitez.
I'm curious what role this bike plays in your stable: weekend brevets,
errand running, JRA?

I think this is what was called the Banana Bag. (largish under the
saddle bag). It's beige with dark leather. It's in good shape with
no tears or dry cracked leather. It is dirty and missing the Duluth
leather patch, though.
There's a sticker inside that says $70. How does $40 shipped sound?

Eric,
I really like the look of bottle dynamos on the rear seat stay (to me
it looks cleaner for some reason), were you at all concerned about the
B&M mount crimping the seat stay with all the warnings from PJW ?

The tubing on the ol' Motobecane is pretty stout. I don't know if I would feel

P.S. I think the bottle dynamo "look" goes with the old school randonneur
aesthetic that I was aiming for with this bike.

Problem solved, with the soap suds solution:
Deflated tire. Liberal application of of soapy water at the bead.
Inflate a bit, work the tire to get it seated, that inflate the rest
of the way. Most of the asymmetry was gone by that point, then I
worked it a bit with a Park Tire Seating tool - - b
Hi Jeremy,
Your quote(partial): " I would say that the best way to do it would be to
research the peoples native to Rivendell's stomping grounds; maybe use one
of the native names for Mt. Diablo, to pay tribute to the terrain that has
shaped Rivendell bikes for years."
Just mho, but I think th
Not in my size range, but just wanted to clarify? Are you looking for a 56 cm
Hillborne or 56 Hilsen? A 52 cm Hillborne should fit similar to a 56 cm Hilsen.
(And either would be really nice.)
