I am looking for feedback on Rivendell's new Banana Sax bag. If you have one and have had some experience using it I would be interested in hearing about it's overall usefulness What have you been able to fit in the bag etc. I am trying to keep bags and racks on my Sam to a minimum but still wo

[RBW] Appaloosa Fender Options

I have noticed quite a few photos of SKS fenders on the Appaloosa showing the plastic cut away to accommodate the chain. Has anyone successfully installed a metal fender on the Appaloosa? I was wondering if a Velo Orange Zeppelin might be an option. Tim -- You received this message becaus

[RBW] Re: New to me Sam

The build looks great! Mine is nearly complete and looks very similar although I have a 2TT. I am waiting for some better weather so I can post photos of it. Good luck with your Sam. I hope you love it as much as I love mine! On Monday, February 19, 2018 at 6:12:31 PM UTC-5, Bob Warner wrote: >

[RBW] Sam Hillborne Reimagined

Hello Riv Friends, Not long ago I posted about possibly replacing my Sam with a Roadini. I had switched my existing Sam to an upright touring rig but missed riding my drop bar bike. I ended up buying a new Appaloosa to be my touring/camping bike and I rebuilt my Sam into a sporty road bike. We

[RBW] Re: New Roadini; Bag... Sackville or Swift Industries

I have experience with Swift bags and don't have anything bad to say about them. I have my Sam set up similar to your Roadini. I wanted to maintain a road-ish feel yet still be able to carry stuff. I started out with a Sackville X-small saddlesack and had a Swift Paloma bag on the bars with a Q

[RBW] Re: WTB Choco Moose handlebars

Hey Bill, Could you answer a question for me on the Choco Moose bars? I am thinking about putting these on a Clem that I plan to use primarily off road. How long is the part of the stem that inserts into the head tube? I want to make sure there is enough space to get the bars up as needed. Is

There are two pedals that I use and like both of them. The Diety Black Cat and the Spank Oozy Trail. I like the Spanks slightly better. Check out this great post from Analog to get the complete overview of pedal options. https://www.analogcycles.com/pedals-the-forgotten-touch-point/ On Monday,

I also have a Clem H frame that I am building over the winter. I am building a set of wheels before I get started on the complete bike build. I also have a 1x build in mind. Going with the Jones H bar as well. Looks like you have the same Crust stem that I just purchased for mine. I am consider
