Happy Holidays! Any Surprise Bike Treasures?

[Liesl]

I know many of us have probably indulged ourselves picking out our own Rivvy gifts encouraged by the raffle, but how about the surprises?

I got a beautiful simple Sykes water bottle cage in cherry.

Oh my it's lovely against a sandblasted clear powder coat protovelo with Soma Xpress 650B skinwalls in, yes, Terra Cotta (thanks Jim at Hiawatha)

What'd you get?

Very nice frame for my Rivendell art poster, which my wife now likes so much that she suggested hanging it in the living room!

Gee whiz! That is a piece of modernist sculpture!

Season's best wishes to all (even those who didn't score a wooden bottle cage).

Just what I need!!!  http://www.flickr.com/photos/cyclotourist/8307841601/in/photostream

Also a Wald basket, but it's the huge model when I needed the medium. Anybody have a medium they want to trade?

Just some bucks, so will probably be getting a new saddle bag from riv soon!

Marginally Riv related (that's my wife's Betty Foy in the background), but obviously bike related... The wife commissioned an artist friend to draw/paint a family biking caricature of the Smitty clan.

performance when things, er, heat up.

I ended up with a new Eddie Bauer First Ascent messenger bag.   It looks great and seems to be comfortable though I haven't ridden with it yet (work and the great midwest blizzard).  

 

My TimBuk2 bag was still functional, but all of the velcro was loosing its grip.  I cant wait to give the EB a try.

Hey All,

My first MTB was a mid 80s lugged stumpy (the orange one). I rode it for over twenty years before a frame builder friend told me that the stress waves in the top and down tube were serious enough that I should retire the frame. So I did, and bought a Ritchey (which my wife uses as her uppity townie - if there can be such a thing - more on that later). At any rate, I have been looking for another ever since and finally grabbed one off of the local CL. It's a lil rough, but serviceable, and will be my new workhorse (shopper, pull a trailer) townie. It will replace a mid 90s steel Rockhopper I bought years ago, also off the local CL. 

And about the Ritchey. When my wife and I became engaged I offered her in lieu of a ring any bike she wanted (we meet on a group ride). She responded, 'I'll take the Ritchey, and a ring'. So it really is hers because she did indeed marry me. She is a shrewd one that gal.

Smooth Tracks,

Chris

Hi-

Happy Holidays! My surprise bike gift was a Joseph Lucas bicycle
oil-burning head light (the Planet model #33), still in the original
box! This thing came out of my Dad's workshop. I think he bought it at
a flea market in Belgium in the early 1970s. Not at all sure how old
this thing is, my best guess is between 1910 and 1920.

Anyone out there know anything about these?

I posted a couple of pictures of the lamp to my Flickr account. Here's
the link:

I went out and bought an Indian made clone of this oil lamp circa 1966-1967, age just-turned 11 or 12, to fit on the "L" shaped headset-mount bracket on the birthday Hero that my father bought me as a birthday gift. I forget what oil I added to the reservoir, but I do remember how you raised the wick with a little wire wheel, and how, when you optimized wick length between brightness and smokelesssness, you got a mere glow-worm glow that could not really illuminate anything. These were still, if not state of art, at least market available then and there -- Bangalore, India, again, '66 or '67.

(For my next birthday, my father had the black stock Hero painted scarlet and had a AW added -- hottest Hero in the subcontinent at the time.)

Received a Park multi tool MT-1 and a pair of wool jerseys.  I am happy! Wore the L/S on today's ride and will be able to take the S/S one out tomorrow.  Both on the Rambouillet.
