You're not going to sneak an orange QB into your stable and pretend
that it's an old bike that's always been there. It sticks out like a
sore thumb. Trust me, I just tried it and got caught.

Maybe you can just keep it at work - I have one of those! Out of

Oops, not cosmic at all. Wrong Bill Rhea. But I do know a Bill Rhea
with a Rivendell. Small world.
But it is strange that your Rom broke in the same place as my Ram.
Good luck with the bike.

It's a money thing, but it would be painful. I'm trying to find a way
to keep one, which is preferable.
Thanks for all the info everyone. Besides my 59 Bleriot and unbuilt

Anyone have a Keven's bag seat bag (or similar) they're wanting to get
rid of? I put a Brook's saddle on my Salsa cross bike and the old bag
won't fit (and wouldn't look right anyway!). I have a sweet Velo-
Orange croissant bag on my Riv that is just a big too big for the
Salsa...
Thanks,

Atmospheric pressure is only 14.7 PSI at sea level. I'm sure most

Very inspirational story! David, you're so right. So, I took a 60
mile ride today on the Romulus, and stopped in a bike shop to look
around and take a break. An employee said, Nice bike - how old is
it? Instead of saying 2003, I should have said, Thrift store

Hello all,
I am a newbie to the site. I just received my above rack. It looks
wonderful and solid. Anyway, I was wondering if anyone had the same
issue I am having. The top of the rear SKS fender, which I bought
here, hits the bottom of the rack. It is on the upper eyelet, and it

My Rambouillet was a sneak in purchase...so was the Atlantis come to
think of it...
I spent a couple of years working full time and going to business
school (dang near killed me but that's a different story). After
months of lusting over an orange Rambouillet I decided to purchase a
64cm frame.
You: No Dear, it's just a frame. I'm saving us money. And it's for my
health. You want me to be healthy, right...?
Coincidentally, I happen to have three nice bikes that correspond to the
gestation periods of my three kids...

Aha! When ordering at Riv I always have to tell them I'm San Carlos
Bill Rhea so as to not be confused with my (Portland?) doppleganger.
I've never met anybody else with my surname that wasn't direct family,
so it's doubly coincidental that my alter ego also rides a Riv
