Nice bike...its looks good Aaron!!
|
very nice
|
There's so much to love in these pictures! It's incredibly dainty to have a pair of those... just like one of those mont blanc pen sets or a couple of Holland & Holland guns. Many happy miles to you!
|
beautiful
|
Now that's a pair that'll beat three of a kind.
|
Damn that's a clean ride. Congrats.
|
So has anyone seen that rear rack before? Eclipse? New one to me...as are the brake pads.
|
No clue on the rack.
But the bike!!!!! I'm a sucker for a red bike, and this one delivers big time. She's gorgeous, and looks to be in top shelf condition. You really have a knack for finding and building beautiful bikes. I think you'll find room in your heart to ride this one fairly often. Looks like a great all-day ride! Ride report please. |

I have to say I think it's fairly awesome from what I'm seeing...it's a VERY smart build. Room for fenders and tires, relaxed geometry...I'd hardly call it outdated. The only parts that are outdated are the DT shifters and 5 sp freewheel...but I have plenty of Ergo bikes, I can have space for another DT shifter. The single pivot calipers and rims could also use updates I suppose. |

The spokes are a bit rusty and I'm thinking rebuild for the wheels. The bearings also need overhauls...it'll be a bit before that happens :(

I have some other things in the project cue...I'll get to this FOR SURE, but it might be a week or two.
|
Sucks, my offer is withdrawn.
|
Sold...

Wow!!!
I don't remember ever seeing a Richard Sachs with eyelets, racks, etc. Pretty freeking cool! Now how is it a person gets TWO Richard Sachs bicycles in the same lifetime??? You must have done something special in a past life to warrent two ;) Cheers, Chris |

You must have done something special in a past life to warrent two ;) Cheers, Chris Sorry, couldn't resist. I don't know, lucky I guess. The first one happened at least partially from karma. I did a favor for BBM, or offered one, we became friendly, this came up...he facilitated. Gomango, being the generous guy he is, sent me the bars...and the calipers came in a sale with OFG. That worked out heaviliy in my favor because I also got to know OFG! |
I've seen the brake pads. Take a look at the 'pic of the day' thread, you know the one? Drillum Dude colorized one. Really nice.
Eclipse racks, yes, I remember those as well. But the ones I remember didn't look like that. Nice bike! Going camping? My touring bike is of the same vintage, which is... well, not quite ideal. Touring bikes got better a couple years later when cantilever brakes came back into fashion. |
Thanks for the pad info. I could be wrong, but the rack feels very high quality. At least as good as jim b. I have a full tourer with cantis and full racks. I don't need this to be that...I want a sports style tourer and this should be PERFECT.
|
I have an Eclipse rack as well. It's a nice design, but no longer very useful, because it is intended to be used with panniers with a sliding attachment point, which seem to be obsolete.
|
I've heard the bags are available on eBay...will take a look. Pads are mauthaussers (sp?), my first pair.
|
Two gorgeous bikes, Aaron! I'm a huge e-Richie fan atmo.
