What's your raffle entry consist of, and what are your plans for the prize?

[cbone97]

A bit of fun since surely I'm not the only one who's been prompted to
enter a $300 order this month and tempted to dream of what I'll ask
Grant to cook up for me if I win.

My order (placing tonight, destination is a V.O. Polyvalent I scored
on fleabay.):

2 Conti 650b 54mm tires
2 tubes for 'em
1 55 cm cromo Bosco bar
8 sp cassette, 11-32t
Sugino XD2, wide/low double
2 corks
total: $300.00


My prize request:
650b fat-tire capable love child of Bosco Rubbe (general tube
configuration) and AHH (paint color / job, geometry elegance)

[RJM]

Well, I was thinking of doing a 350 buck gift certificate or placing an order for a Roadeo frame. I don't know which one I will do though.

[Anne Paulson]

If you buy a Roadeo you won't be sorry.

BTW, speaking of orders, what do people recommend for tires for their
Roadeos? I need to put together an order of my own.

My order

3x devold undies
2x MUSA wool t shirts
2x col de la vie tires
tube of phil hand cleaner

My custom:

Roadeo tubeset, Cantilever equipped, 650B road bike, painted like Anne's Purple-'Lantis

Anne,

For Roadeo tires I'd take a look at the Clement LLG in a 28, or the new Grand Bois Extra Leger in 700x32.

I don't have a Roadeo but I have its country cousin, Legolas. I really like Schwalbe Ultremo ZX in 700x28. Fast, smooth, comfortable at 80 psi, and I'll even dare say it, I haven't had a flat yet in 1,500 miles. I think of it as a road tire, but I took it on an unexpected mixed terrain ride today and it performed well, with only a couple of slips for lack of traction.

Haven't purchased yet, but I'm thinking of buying the following:

Wheelset

V brakes - but I notice that Rivendell seems to not be selling these right now

Brake pad inserts for Silvers

Some Big Ben 700 x 35 tires

Aluminum Bosco Bar if they get them in

12-36 cassette

A front derailleur

Maybe stem-mount shifters

And if I were to win a frame, then I'd be in a bind again trying to raise funds to build it up. I think I would go with a custom made like a Roadeo and try to build it up light and racy (SRAM 50-34 front with 12-36 rear), since I have the beefy touring, country bike, and offroad areas covered pretty well.

I'm thinking of a Sam Hunqa-Pilson that converts into a kayak and I
can float down the river.  I'm not sure it's possible :(

[IanA]

With integrated dynamo wiring and a sail?

[naw...@comcast.net]

Jack Brown Blue or Green on my Rodeo.  I did put Shwalbe Marathon 38's on it once just for the heck of it, they did just fit, incredible!

Cant afford the $300 raffle entry this year, its been a rough one.

I've got a pair of Marathon Supremes, a new Noddle, and some Not-So-Tights, plus random other stuff. I thought of going the gift certificate route, but prefer to get "stuff" in the mail as opposed to promises of future stuff.

My custom would probably be a Roadeo-lmost set up to fit 650b with long reach sidepulls or 700c with standard reach. (According to the math it should work, if you're not worrying about fenders. There could be some catch I haven't though of, though.)

Can't afford to enter this month, but...

...if I could, and I won:

I would order a copy of a 54 San Marcos, with a few Rivendell touches
(better dropouts, better brake fit, nicer fork curve) a different
color (probably Merckx orange) and of course, the emporer-like status
of a Rivendell decal running along the down tube! :)

[Jeremy Till]

My order was a Big Rear Rack for my wife's touring bike, a Sackville TrunkSack small for me, and some Nitto Band Clamps to mount a Mark's Rack for the aforementioned TrunkSack on my road bike's fork (no braze-ons). 

If I were to win I'd get something along the Road lines, with 57mm reach brakes with clearance for 28's + fenders or 33-35's without, with better geometry than my current road bike (Salsa Casseroll).  I'd let Grant handle the tubing choices since I want it to be light-ish and fast but I'm also a big guy and like going off-pavement, so not sure I'd want something Roadeo-light.  Color would be a hard choice--I've always loved the light-ish blues on the old Road Standards, or a solid dark (british racing?) green, or something in the dark silvery-pewter range, like Gino's old Saluki. 

[Eric Platt]

Right now, am probably not going to enter.  Just had an order recently and while there are a few things that pique interest, not enough stuff to make a required minimum.

But - if I did and if I were to win - wouldn't take a custom.  Would rather just get a 61cm Atlantis or maybe a Bombadil.  Either of those bikes would suit my needs.  Yes, while I'd like a 61cm 26" wheel Atlantis, it's too much against the whole Rivendell aesthetic to get something like that. 

 

And hopefully, it would save Rivendell a bit of cash which might be important.

Yes dynamo, great idea, keep the sextant app on the phone charged when
I hit the water :)

[Ryan Ray]

I still might order some stuff but the problem is I don't really need anything :)

If I do, and win I'd order an xtracycle compatable frame :) I'd of course offer to pay the extra fees. If he still said no (99.999999999% he would say no) I'd order a really tall 26" wheel custom Bomba/Hunqa which would live the next 10 years of it's life as a kid camping, groceries, cargo bike.

Of course even admitting I would ask for such nonsense means he would kick me out of the contest before it began!

[Dan McNamara]

Decided to play:

2 Schwalbe extralight 700c tubes - might as well try them out

1 Small Topeak frame pump - for Amy's Betty Foy

1 Baggins rare earth magnet - stocking stuffer for a lucky person

2 RBW rare earth magnets - stocking stuffers for 2 lucky people

1 copy of Rework - good reading

1 copy of What Now - gift for confused person

1 Tange/IRD roller drive headset - replacing VO headset on the Bomba

1 small Trangia Cooket - bike camping and earthquake preparedness

total: $307

Not sure on what I would do as a custom. The level TT Hunq and the mountain mixte are interesting ideas. But maybe something more along the lines of an AHH-ish frame with room for wider tires would be in the correct direction.

Too many possibilities!

OK, I jumped in and picked up a Bosco Bullmoose bar, a Marks tool wrap, toestraps, fenders, magnets, poster, bandanas, kickstand, and a few things I forgot. Not sure what kind of frame I'd spec. If and when, but the new bike is interesting. I love single speeds too, and a custom 1 is a serious thought. If and when, I may have a 64 QB and/or 60 Bombadil on the market.
