I'm way to big and heavy for that frame, but it looked like my ideal offroad bike frame. A happy crossbreeding of my two favorite bikes: my Quickbeam, and my Bontrager Privateer. I ride them both in the same woods, and in some situations the fixed Quickbeam has more control than the geared

I wonder if a Rivendell production fixed gear super-light mountain bike would sell, or if the appeal of that frame was its uniqueness? It seems like most of the people here who wanted it were relieved when they couldn't have it. Philip 97128 On Aug 22, 5:19 am, RonaTD teddur...@sbcglobal.net

Everyone knows that average sized people never crash their bikes, so they never need repairing, so there will never be a 59cm Renovelo. Only the freakishly tall and freakishly small are awkward enough to break a Rivendell. OK, just kidding. On Aug 20, 11:36 am, Michael_S

Had I known they'd be selling the Renovelos at such give-away prices I might have held off buying my Sam. Now the only alternative is to try and snatch one up anyway. These things aren't going to gather any dust in the RivShop. Kinda like unsold inventory of Acorn bags. It's probably not GP's
