Such a sweet ride. In the pantheon of so many great and beautiful 
Rivendells, this one still stands out as something special.

[RBW] WTB: Rivendell Rosco Baby frame (or bike)

[Reed Idlewild]

Anyone have one of those Rivendell Rosco Baby frames (or bikes) that their
kid has outgrown, or that they're otherwise willing to part with?

I snoozed on it at the time, but now that our kid is one year old I'm
itchin' to take him out on bike rides. What better way to get a start with
bikes than or a Riv?

I'd be interested in either a bigger one (I'm 6'3, 93cm PBH) or a
medium-ish one (my spouse is 5'7).


Best,
Reed

[RBW] Re: Roaduno substitute for a while...

[Jason Zakaras]

sorry for the thread hack... if you could stab again or perhaps another 
double crankset quickbeamer could answer: what bottom bracket would this 
run?  I have a simple one running 48-18 and I have a nice skf 107 jis and 
would like to move it over to my double 32/42-19/17 and unfortunately don't 
know the laws of bicycles enough to understand how things pair. the current 
58cm quick beam is running great other than a much needed bb upgrade.
thanks!

To resume, the new lightning bolt ss is a stunner, can't wait for a 
review

 I had been searching for quite a while for a single speed that enabled 
 some derailer-less gear flexibility.  On one hand I searched for a 58cm 
 Quickbeam or SimpleONE.  On the other hand I was/am waiting on the 
 RoadUNO.  I was/am a huge fan of Rivendells rear dropouts with the angle 
 that allows a significant gear change while maintaining brake adjustment.  

 In an absolutely perfect world, my Size Large singlespeed would also 
 have been 650B (for fat tires and no TCO).  While I'm sitting here in 
 fantasy-land, I also would have waved my magic wand to have the bike be 
 belt-compatible, and would allow brakes, but have a discreet way to NOT 
 run 
 brakes.  

 Over the last 18 months or so, I've been working with placeholders for 
 these things.  I bought a Crust Michigan Man right when they were released 
 and set it up as a strictly 1-speed fixie in my office in Wayne County, 
 Michigan.  Will at Riv also has a Michigan Man.  I also managed to acquire 
 a 58cm Quickbeam, and that is now in my garage as a 8-speed single speed.  
 I slowly acquired some of the parts for a 650B custom, including a pair of 
 Rivendell dropouts.  I even had preliminary conversations with a local 
 builder, and have a tentative spot on his enormous waiting list.  

 Then, totally by surprise, a new contender appeared.  Crust released a 
 new variant of their single speed Lightning Bolt.  It's 650B, with 
 clearance for 48mm tires and contemporary Randonneur geometry.  It's 
 belt-compatible and has removable cantilever posts and cable guides.  It's 
 almost exactly what my custom would have been except for the Riv-style 
 ends.  

 It's 2022, and the lesson we've all learned is that if the thing you 
 want is available, you buy it, because it may never be available again.  
 So, I went ahead and bought it, and the frame should arrive today.  I'm 
 pretty excited.  

 Whether or not my new Crust will get replaced by a RoadUNO next year 
 remains to be seen.  Will's email updates (plus simple geometry) make it 
 pretty clear to me that the RoadUNO will not have Riv ends.  It'll have 
 some other svelte track ends, so easy gear changes with a rear brake won't 
 be part of the feature list, it seems.  I'm still paying very close 
 attention, but the itch is getting scratched today.

[Bicycle Belle Ding Ding!]

To one of my best friends in all the world, it turns out! She had been 
saying, “I want a bike like yours” but I didn’t know if she would really do 
it. She has a carbon road bike and is a former triathlete, but she came to 
the Rivendell conclusion on her own after watching my Instagram account 
over the years. She wants a bike she can ride with a saddle that doesn’t 
hurt and that lets her sit up and see things in her new city. (We both 
moved away from Vegas in the last 9 months and we are exploring our new 
places by bike.) I can’t believe we are going to be real bike twins. It’s 
pretty grand.

 Hey group,

 We're shuffling around some bikes in order to get our Hubbuhubbuh 
 together, my wife is taking over my 60cm Platypus which leaves her mermaid 
 55cm Platypus in need of a new home!

 This is a great opportunity for someone who either missed the recent 
 Rosco Plats or doesn't want to wait until next year for the next round of 
 lugged Platys (probably not coming in this gorgeous color either)

 This was the first production Platypus to make it into a customer's 
 hands and has seen less than 1,000 miles. It's in very good condition, has 
 had racks mounted so some wear at the braze on points but no serious 
 scratches and certainly no dings to speak of.

 Complete sans pedals and seat.

 -Riv installed BB and HS
 -Riv supplied seat post
 -Nitto Albatross 55cm
 -Nitto Tallux 90mm
 -Origin8 brake levers
 -Shimano BR-T4000 V-brakes
 -170mm Sugino XD2 crankset/36t ring/Rivendell chain guard (1x)
 -Rich Lesnik built Velocity Dyad rims to Shimano XT hubs
 -700x42 Specalized Sawtooth tires
 -11-42t 9-speed cassette
 -Shimano Altus derailleur
 -Pletscher kickstand

 Platypus Photos 
 

 I think that's all the stuff worth noting, we're asking $2,800 plus 
 packing and shipping cost, or pickup in SLO, CA. 

 Can deliver to SF Bay Area in the mid October.

 Thanks for your time and please respond off list if interested :)

[RBW] Re: It's my custom

[Bicycle Belle Ding Ding!]

Joe, this is how I ended up with a SECOND Riv mixte. I had the same rack as 
you on my raspberry bike, but it limited how much I could carry. So…I got 
another whole Platypus! Now that one does hauling duty and the raspberry 
one races around the countryside on club rides! 

Glad you’re getting good use out of that custom. Nothing makes Grant 
happier than seeing his bikes used IRL. Bring on the high-capacity racks.

[RBW] Re: It's my custom

[Joe Bernard]

Yes indeed. I was committed to the (supposedly lighter but not really) bag 
support rack, but I keep running into situations where I could use more 
room for stuff than I can fit between rack-top and saddle in that medium 
Saddlesack. I need a pannier or two!*

*This qualifies as a WTB. If one of y'all have one or more panniers that 
would be good for a bag of groceries and will kinda work with a grey/red 
frame, hollaback ‍♂️

Great to see that bike out and putting in work!  I am probably going to end 
up with a 32R on the Hillborne and 33R on the Bombadil; the usefulness of a 
pannier rack just can't be beat.

[RBW] Re: Roaduno substitute for a while...

[duh...@gmail.com]

George, I'll take a stab at answering this one for Bill.

He has a double crankset (2 gears), and some combination of double cogs 
and/or freewheels in rear resulting in 4 gears out back.

I have that bike, and those are my all time favorite tires.  I never mated

Bill - you say the Quickbeam is setup as "a 8-speed single speed," so I'm

assuming an IGH, how did you do the cable routing?  I have a Surly 1x1 and 
I've been fantasizing turning it into an IGH, but I'd have to change bars
