[RBW] Re: My Cheviot/Cheviut build report
I purchased a Cheviot earlier this year. I got a huge discount on mine because of the middle stay issue. With mine Riv sanded down the middle stay so it would accommodate the chain and cog. It seems fine with no issue to frame integrity. The 2 chain thing drove me a little crazy. Regards.

[RBW] FS: Soma San Marcos 59cm
I have a new 59cm San Marcos that I am thinking of selling. I removed it from the box to rust proof it but have not done anything with it, it's just sitting there and will most likely not have any time this year build it up. Has a headset and BB installed by Riv. $850+shipping -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

[RBW] Re: Is the San Marcos a true Rivendell?
I own a San Marcos frame, and had a Rambouillet a few years back. The San Marcos is built to the same quality as the Ram but uses nicer lugs, at least nicer looking. The bottom bracket is actually stamped Rivendell! In terms of ride quality, that is still up in the air since I have actually not built it up to ride. I have a 2TT version and I'm really surprised at how light it is, actually feels about the same as my Soma Stanyan.

I bought and built it new about eight years ago, and for me it rides better than anything, including a Waterford 1250 that I also have in my stable. It's handling is quick and sporty, but predicatable and confidence inspiring in a way that is hard to describe, and it takes long downhills like nobody's business. It truly is the last bike I'd give up, and most Riv afficionados regard the Heron as in the family, if not a true Rivendell. I received one of the Riv headbadge logo decals in an order from RBW HQ, slapped that sucker on the seat tube, so now I am all set! At least until it peals off. Best thing about it is that if you find you don't like the SOMA San Marcos (not likely), it should be easy to sell and recoup at least most of your investment. The SOMA line has a following of its own, and when when you combine that with the Riv connection (much like my Waterford made Heron)you can appeal to two groups of loyalists. Best of luck, and let the list know what you decide. Oh, and we do like pictures.

I ran across the Rivendells a couple of months ago. I like what I'm reading and I'm esp interested in the Sam Hillborne and San Marcos. Do you Riv owners consider the San Marcos a true Rivendell? Can I expect the same quality ride, etc. from the San Marcos as I would the other Riv bikes? (I'm asking because it doesn't bear the Riv name.)

Have you looked at the Soma San Marcos, the 54cm does not have the 2TT but I believe the geometry is similar to the 56cm but not sure. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

[RBW] Re: Soma San Marcos
I am curious why there is no post about this frame. I actually think it's a lot nicer then my Rambo, it is a well thought out bike. From what I can tell other then the seat, all the lugs are Riv's; even the bottom bracket lug has the rivendell stamp on it.
