Thx!  I just had previously skimmed, noted the padding and twine, but had 
passed over the toilet bits

They're ballcock washers - used in toilets, possibly some other fixtures.

Edwin,
I used to want a Fr8 so badly!  I spoke with J.C. Lind in Chicago several 
times about the WorkCycles line, which they carry.  (Also the Pilen Lyx 
which I really like.)  

WorkCycles also makes the Gr8 ... essentially a lighter weight version of 
the Fr8.  Workcycles makes awesome bikes!

I tried the Billie bar on Saturday on the Atlantis demo. They have bring your 
hands back like the Bosco without the huge rise. Vince brought out the 
Albatross bars to compare.Just eyeballing them I would say that they bring the 
grips closer to you two inches mote than the Albatross. Bosco are 9 inches 
reach so Billie bar might be 8.81 inches? Again not precise measurements. They 
have the Billie bars on a 55 Appaloosa but it doesn't have a saddle yet. Go try 
them. I wanted to ask if I could buy a sample of the bars but didn't know if it 
was appropriate to ask. Better just to be patient.

TC, I have a FR8 with the frame mounted rack and it is so solid. The bike is so 
damn heavy, though. That said, it makes my Joe Appaloosa feel like a feather 
weight!

I think handling is actually better if the rack is frame mounted.  Like on 
the WorkCycles Fr8 

.

Pretty sure the Billie bar is the new albatross-like but riv exclusive bar.

I love it. I really think there is a market for the L models with a setup to 
carry kids. It would be a great way to bring in a new generation to Rivendell. 
I love my Joe as s kid hauler (though really appreciate how much fun it is 
without a 30 lb kid and a full shopsack). I think a Mountain Mixte would do 
great as well.

Really cool bike!  But what I want to know is "what is the Billie Bar" he 
refers to?  Is this  one of the new Riv-exclusive bars that have been in 
development and that they've been hinting at?  Or am I reading too much 
into this?  Or is this already commonly-known news that I somehow missed?

I have had two cargo bikes with this feature and love it for load hauling, 
especially when the load is more than 10 or 15 pounds. 
Would love to see how this bike turns out at the end: it looks like a fantastic 
project: versatile in terms of use and surface travelled.

Re: [RBW] Re: Keven Sighting on Riv Instagram

[Jeremy Tavan]

It's good. I've ridden cargo bikes/cycletrucks with frame-integrated racks 
that don't move with steerering, and that's how the Brompton works as well. 
It means you don't fight the moment of the load while steering, so steering 
is lighter and less floppy than it would be otherwise. The next bike I set 
up for heavy front loads will definitely be done this way.

This comment made me laugh... Kind of been there, almost done that...

"Custom rack and head tube mount. Rack doesn't turn with wheel. You cannot
afford this rack. Keven can't. Nobody can. Don't even ask."
