Even with integrated shifters, the down-tube bosses give you a perfect spot
for an inline barrel adjuster so you can tweak your indexing while riding.
They are great to have on any bike.

What are the chances you'll leave it out there, change your mind and sell
the Clem instead? That's the outcome I'm rooting for. A Rivendell custom
is Grant creating a one-of-a-kind bike just for you. A Clem is fungible.

Finger gauge judges they're probably at like 25psi, and I would have

That does seem to be a great deal, although there's no such thing as a 59cm

I don't have a Clem and have never done a ground-up Clem build, but I did
fix a friend's Large Clem Complete when his stock cockpit proved too flexy.
We slammed (slammed == run the stem at the lowest possible height) a
Choco-Moose, and that was a night and day improvement. I'd absolutely

size of 60cm c-t-c seat tube and 56cm c-t-c top tube.

I admire how the entire build hinges on a rear derailleur that looks good,
first and foremost, and everything else will fall into place after that.

I've got the bike for it, and I'm just waiting for the stars to align to do
the ride. My "Eroica Bike" is a time capsule 1983 Univega Gran Premio.
I've got ~700 miles on it, and will not have any issue using it for an
Eroica day.
10-speed
11-25 cassette. That would yield a bunch of spacers and a bunch of useful
cogs. The HG-500 model has no spider stuff. It's all cogs and spacers,
riveted together and the rivets are easy to scrub out.

I might go make one of these bearing, chain-keepers.

Let me know if you'd like me to photograph it on my next trip "upstairs".

I will second Patrick Moore's recommendation to consult with a fitter.
Dozens of saddles over 15 years and never being able to do a 20-mile ride
pain-free? That's indicative of something else going on, IMO.

Your patience continues to earn you money. Now the price is down to $6000.
Wait until September and you'll get paid to take it.

Johnny, you're probably right: Look at how cheaply we can buy Rene Herse
