Re: [RBW] Re: Design your custom

Yes! I believe that will be a success. I look forward to the ride reports on 
it. 

Patrick, your fantasy fixed Legolas might be cleaner than mine, but couldn’t be 
nicer than mine. A 58 simply doesn’t measure up, proportionally.

A 62cm Quickbeam/SimpleOne built for gears with standard dropouts and 
130mm. And an extra threadless fork (I'm unusual on this forum, but I love 
the look of 1" threadless with a beautiful custom steel stem).

I just realized my "custom" is actually a stock 52cm cantilever Hilsen with 
a custom color. Perhaps a Pear Green, then.

That's my thinking, too, Keith. I momentarily paused on "Do I want my fancy 
pricey custom to be my do everything street-and-dirt bike?", and settled on 
definitely. If I'm spending that kinda dough on a bicycle, I want it out at the 
bike park in all it's fancy glory, mixing it up with the $6000 boingy bikes: 
"Hiya, kids!" 

[iamkeith]

56cm version of the Clem Smith Jr.;  700c wheels like the 59, but perhaps 
slightly shorter chainstays; all-lugged construction. Done.  

I know that the Clem was conceived as a 'beater' bike of sorts, but why 
shouldn't the bike I ride 75% of the time be my nicest?  If/when I do a 
custom, this is likely what it will be.  I've been thinking about this a 
lot lately AND may soon actually be flush for a change.

[RBW] Re: Design your custom

[Ryan Merrill]

I'm still on the fence with the long chainstays Rivendell is making just 
because I haven't ridden them yet. I have high hopes for my coming 
Appaloosa though, so I will reserve mention on the chainstay length. 

What I really want in a custom is a canti post mixte frame that can take at 
least 2.2 inch tires and haul my butt around on fire roads, gravel trails, 
and singletrack mtb trails (the more buff kind, not the dh course at 
worlds) I'd actually rather have 29 er wheel size, but that is because all 
my current mtb's are 29ers and I get along with that size really well on my 
local trails. I'm a rather short dude, rode a 53 Roadeo, Atlantis, and a 
48cm Hillborne and they all fit me well so if it turns out 650b is the 
better choice I will happily go with that...Grant would have that decision. 
I would not want 26" tires though...that size is dead for mtb now and tire 
choice is limited. It will only get worse in the future, unfortunately. I 
would also like the wheels to be tubeless because that is what I run when 
trail riding. I used to have numerous flats on my tubed tires until I went 
tubeless; now flats only happen maybe once a year. Plus, lower tire 
pressure without worrying about pinch flats. It's a total win.

The reason for the mixte frame is standover height. Sometimes you just got 
to plop out of the saddle onto the ground on the trails and it's always 
better when there isn't a bar to come in contact with. Plus, I don't, and 
have never owned a mixte. I need to remedy that. Canti posts because 
v-brakes and cantis are more powerful and easier to deal with large tires 
compared to sidepulls. 

I would want the fancy lugs, Rivendell downtube decal, and that awesome 
headbadge, just because they are really nice looking. color - first choice 
would be a really nice looking purple. Second choice would be some sort of 
butterscotch. 

The silver low double crank Riv has would be a great crank to use on an mtb 
focused machine. 

Bars?  Maybe choco moose bars or just the bullmoose bars. Either one would 
be fine. 

paul brake levers, brakes (touring cantis or even motolites). 
Shifting...man, index shifting would be helpful with the ridiculous rolling 
hills we have locally. If I can get it to work with indexed in the back and 
friction for the front I would call that a win.

Re: [RBW] Re: Design your custom

[Patrick Moore]

I agree that 650B makes a great deal of sense with smaller frames.

I have been thinking of a bike for that (talked about *ad nauseam*) AM hub,
and dithering whether I want 26" wheels or 700C wheels. Perhaps it would be
an opportunity to try 650B for the first time.

Oh no! I've just made the decision more complicated!

Seriously: 650B is on the table. I'll bet that, if it is built, it will be
the first 650B AM hubbed bike in the history of the cosmos.

Same here, 650b Roadeo with clearance for 38 with fenders. I'm 5'7" and have a 
couple 700c bikes, (RB-T and rosco road, both 53cm). Toe overlap doesn't bother 
me that much, but the frame would prob be easier to design, the triangle could

Re: [RBW] Re: Design your custom

[Joe Bernard]

'cause I'm not designing from an existing bike, I'm specing my custom. The 
Rivendell Mountain used 26" wheels because that's what mtbs used when that bike 
was built; now the hot ticket is 27.5, which I like better for ride and looks. 
Also there's a boatload of tires available, which looks to be a waning 
situation for 26.

Curious: you're the second person to specify 650B as a custom change from

I look at the Cheviot a lot but the tire width limitations always keep me 
from pulling the trigger. So the mountain mixtie in 50 - 52 cm with canti
