Bill:

You made my day.  My first reaction to the OP was "...give 'em a call..." 
but your response was much more elegant.  I was there a couple of weeks ago 
& didn't know about the Wavie bars until later when I read the catalog I 
picked up.  The only questions I had were 1 & 2 but I hadn't gotten around 
to calling.  

Seriously, everyone answers the phone & is super nice.  We've become 
conditioned to phone systems designed to get rid of us, so often we're 
reluctant to call, thinking it a waste of time.  At RBWHQ, live people who 
want to talk to you answer the phone!  What an amazing concept!  It's so 
efficient that I'm amazed more businesses don't pick up on it.

[Benz, Sunnyvale, CA]

I'll second the patch kit, although I find that they're often out-of-stock. 
Why? The Japanese patches in the Riv patch kit are ultra thin and flexy, 
and outclass even the Rema F0 patches. They are so good that they almost 
blend into the tube, especially on thicker tubes.

[RBW] Re: What do Rivendell Riders wear for cycling caps?

[Dave Grossman]

I'm a hat junkie and have collected ball caps since I was a youth.  I 
probably have had over 100 at a time at various points of my life.  Not 
sure why, just always dug hats.

As I have passed the gene on to my kids, they are always with a hat as 
well.  And "bike hats" as they call them fit them well.  I like the Pace 
(have the Riv one as well) caps a lot but also dig the Randi Jo  Wooly Riv 
cap.  I wear it out all the time as a hat, in addition to under my bucket.  
It looks like an old Brooklyn Dodgers cap.   When winter swap season comes 
I buy every cheap cap I can to sweat in and for my kids to wear and lose.  
I have a big head and some of the Italian caps are tight.

As for sun hats, I highly recommend a Tilley.  They aren't cheap, but they 
are legit (Canadian made).  When I am in the sun, I wear it all day.

I believe the Pletscher that Riv sells is in fact rated for a child seat, 
and there is one that works for it, but I don't know where you would get 
it. Re: 2 weeks old. I know of people who have taken their very young 
infants on a bike, but I think waiting a year or so is probably a good 
idea. For that young (1 year plus), I recommend a front carrier.




Although the rear works too:

[RBW] Re: FS: 56cm Rivendell Road - $875

[CMR]

Hi all, just to be more clear about the headtube, when I received the bike 
a few months ago I took it to Rivendell since it's local. They checked it 
out, said that wasn't effecting the internal diameter of the steerer 
because the fork turns clearly. The alignment of the steerer cups is fine 
and straight, so the the headset sits fine. One mechanic thought it was 
potentially caused when someone installed the headset cups with too much 
force causing a wrinkle/bump on the headtube, another mechanic wasn't sure 
what caused it, both said not to worry. It's a small outward bump with no 
crack in the steel, but has a small paint chip.

The bike rides great. I've had an A Homer Hilsen, Sam Hillborne, Atlantis, 
Clem Smith JR, and a Quickbeam - this is the quickest of all them by far. I 
believe it has sharper angles and quicker handling than any modern 
Rivendell. Waterford built too!

Re: [RBW] FS: 56cm Rivendell Road - $875

All later Rivs had wider tire clearances. This was very early in the process 
when Grant was still battling to build a road bike around ridiculous-short 
racing brakes, hence the soon-to-be-introduced LongLow, which was a "sport 
touring" road bike with cantilevers. 

Then somehow he got Shimano to make medium-reach Ultegra calipers, followed by 
Tektro long-reach. Btw this all upended what we call these things: Short used 
to be standard and medium was long. Got all that? 

OK, Patrick,
Here's what their website says: *Made from a washable fabric stabilizer 
won't disintegrate like cardboard (bleh) or crack like plastic (yuck).*
Either way I had issues with the brim absorbing stink during the summer. No 
amount of washing or white vinegar could remove it, unfortunately. Seems to 
work against the idea of having a wool cap to help mitigate stink.
The Rothera brims don't seem to absorb odors, but are prone to creasing. 
It's always a trade-off, it seems.

[RBW] Re: FS: 56cm Rivendell Road - $875

[CMR]

Happy to meet at a BART stop!

Erl, the metallic paint job is indeed very difficult to photograph, it's 
gorgeous in the sun. I'm disappointed the single speed project I envisioned 
didn't work out, but I found a Quickbeam and have limited room.

Thanks Joe, 57cm makes sense, I forget that Rivendell does CTT measurement. 
I don't have the standover measurement right now but can get it Saturday 
evening. Saddleheight shown is ~73.5cm.

-Chris

bandanas and cycling caps, Phils Tenacious Oil and Phils hand cleaner (to wash 
off Phils Tenacious Oil)

[RBW] Which child seat for clem rack?

[Drw]

Is the weight limit on the Clem rack acceptable for a child+seat? The aluminum 
stays, and all the fiddly connection bits on that rack would make me a little 
wary. Maybe I’m over afraid though. My kid is only 2 weeks old.

Re: [RBW] FS: 56cm Rivendell Road - $875

I'm surprised that 700 x 30 is the widest tire that will fit considering 
the current design philosophy. Do their current road oriented bikes have 
the same width limitations?

[RBW] OT: Frankenbar sighting

[Ana Candela]

Wow! Talk about multiple hand positions! Must’ve been a fun project :-D

I’m not sure, but I don’t think it’s the Albastache or Moustache. The grips are 
too long, and the front area where you clamp the stem is too long too.

[RBW] Re: Riv Odds/Ends/Accessories to Add to an Order.

[Coal Bee Rye Anne]

Newbaums bar tape.  I've added a handful of rolls to prior orders knowing 
they'd eventually come in handy.
Wool undies.  Certainly not the cheapest add-on but I had a stretch of 
maybe 3 consecutive orders where I added a pair of Devold boxers after 
being won over by the first pair I tried.  Never thought I'd spend so much 
on a boxer brief but they fit and feel great.  So when I had the funds 
and otherwise found I could use a little boost on an order to breach the 
free shipping threshold I was happy to pick up an extra and replace some 
other worn out undergarments.

[RBW] Re: Fabio's Chest Feedback or Other

i have the fabios chest large and the swift zeitgeist large. I think this 
has been established but the fabios chest is significantly more voluminous 
than the zeitgeist. fwiw i also have a makeshifter outback saddlebag and 
the attention to detail and quality are amazing. if you have the dough and 
appreciate the craftswomanship, definitely go makeshifter. it's a bit 
bigger than the large zeitgeist but probably not as big as the small fabios 
chest.

[RBW] Re: choco norms

[Ryan Olson]

They are definitely more upright than 'staches.  I find that I can get 
suitably aero on the choco's by grabbing the front of the bends and resting 
my forearms on the swept back part (I didn't cut any off), but not really 
meant for that type of use I think.  I was actually looking at other types 
of bars that fit mtb brake levers that allow for a more forward position, 
but not quite like drops; Soma Lauterwasser, Sparrow (upside down) or the 
new Billie bars seem perfect, they're just out of stock, maybe even an 
albatross upside down.  Seems like that is the beauty of quill stems and a 
semi-forward bar - you could adjust the bar height with one of those 
mentioned above to give you a more or less forward position, but still have 
the luxury of upright if you want just by adjusting the height of the stem, 
which doesn't take that long.

Cheapie mtb brake cables always end up on a bike eventually. 

Irish Straps are handy..I'm not sure if they have any left, though. 

A pair of toe straps, $15. Useful for some things Irish Straps do if you're out 
of those.

[RBW] FS: 56cm Rivendell Road - $875

[Christopher Cote]

That is so tempting, even though I already have a Rambouillet that is mostly 
the same that I don't ride enough. Do you know when it was made? Is it a 
custom, or one of the early production models? Any idea what the seat and head 
tube angles are? Looks like short reach brakes might be a better fit. The early 
road standards were built around those, as "standard" reach brakes were 
unavailable new at the time.

[RBW] Riv Odds/Ends/Accessories to Add to an Order.

[John Buglino]

I personally Love both the Dermatone Sun Screen and the new Goat Peppermint 
Soap.  Almost every order I add one or the other to my cart.  I'm also a serial 
buyer of the thick spacers Riv sells, they come in handy almost every time I 
mount a rack or fenders.  

Happy Spending

John in Jersey City

Both the sunscreen and the lip balm that Riv sell are family favorites and 
I add some of them to most orders. Good stuff.

[RBW] Riv Odds/Ends/Accessories to Add to an Order.

[David B]

I feel like I've asked this question before, but I'll throw it out there 
again.

What odds/ends/accessories are staples to add to an order? 
Or really just extra items that are handy to have around.

I have some Hail Mary credit to use, was going to wait for DC 610 brakes to 
arrive, but need some Clem pedals for a beater bike, so I figured I'd use 
up the rest of my credit while I'm at it.

Thanks,
David

[RBW] Re: Pics of your Nitto Big Front Rack install?

[ctifusion]

Awesome. That makes sense now. It was hard to figure because I didn't have time 
to put it in a stand and take off the wheel to line it up. I agree that it's 
worth the trouble to not use P-clamps (I knew U clamp sounded weird). But the 
extra hardware is expensive so I understand if Riv doesn't want that rack to 
hit $250, and that we're all on a budget of some kind with limits.

I'll post a pick after I get home and install the rack.

Re: [RBW] Re: removing broken hex bolt from rack mount

[jandrews]

Thanks for the advice everyone
And Bill, your response is helpful.
However, I don't remember how it happened.  I think I just leaned too much 
into tightening the bolt when installing fenders and the head broke off. 
 It was a couple of years ago.
I'm not sure what my options are for having someone attend to this locally.
I will try the ez-out with the frame as well supported as possible

[RBW] Pics of your Nitto Big Front Rack install?

I just happened to come across Isaac's Atlantis a couple days ago, and looking 
closely, it has the struts you mention. Hope this helps: 
https://flic.kr/p/27qAGHV

I have mine installed directly in the eyelets. Maybe because it’s a smaller 
bike? Here’s the link to my IG post: https://instagram.com/p/BRhtIoDDQyV/

Yes, indeed, it is a very smooth ride. 
Not quite a Riv, but a great ride nonetheless. Handlebars are nice and high.  
Very responsive and stable.
