Does anyone know how much quill is above the minimum insertion mark on
the Nitto Dynamic stems (the 72 degree, not the 90 degree model)? And
what is the overall quill length?

My Berthouds and rods and mounts are Al, not steel, so it sounds like I have a
different model. The mounting rods on the Al Berthouds are a larger diameter
and very stiff compared to the mounting rods on my SKS and also bolt directly
to the somewhat stiffer fender vs. the SKS mounting brackets/c
I got the levers that way and left it. I believe it was for the grip -
seems to give my hand a more firm grasp on the lever when I'm on the hoods.

Yes - no problems on that so far. It's close, but it works :)

I have had all three fenders.
The Berthouds are steel and very solid. They are fairly hard to set
up. They dent easily.
The SKS are real solid. They don't dent. Appearance is subjective,
but I find SKS neutral, not attractive.
Honjos - or at least Honjos I installed - are not as solid as th
I know I can always convert my Sogn to single speed, but I was hoping to go
whole hog. Mine's a Canti version in great shape. Very little use.

That's really strange. My sks have no flop or movement of any kind. In
fact it takes a good amount of pressure by my hands to get them to
move at all.
My bike is sitting right here next to me... they are rock solid.
With the honjos and berthouds being longer i would think they would
have more flop
Nice build and beautiful Brittany too! By the way, why the twine on
the bottoms of the brake levers?

I have a HH with a Shimano XTR rear derailleur and it handles a 32 no problem.

Had a similar experience recently with a guy i was riding with who is
relatively new to cycling. Thought my frame pump was an extra tube to
stiffen up the frame since I'm so strong.hah!

Congratulations on your new bike. Mine has Berthouds, and I love
them, but they were very fiddly to install.

I find the Berthouds on my HH are a lot less "floppy" that the SKS on my other
bikes, and look nicer too especially with the Waterford blue. Can't go wrong
either way though.

Hi Everyone,
I thought I'd share a comical moment from my morning commute:
I was riding alongside another commuter (he on a Specialized Roubaix Carbon
bike, me on my Riv) when he looked my bike over and asked what that extra tube
was for. "What extra tube?" I asked. "The one under the top tub

Looks awesome!
I second the need for fenders, but I would recommend the SKS fenders
that riv sells over everything else.
I started with those, then tried honjo and berthoud metal fenders and
ended up back with the sks. They don't cover quite as much but they
cover enough and they are more durable/
Wow! That looks great. Berthoud fenders? Since you live in PNW I'd
consider them, they'll offer great coverage.

Now that I've had the Samuel Hillborne for a month, figured it might

Beautiful bike and build. Only advice - give the drops a good chance
before switching. You might learn to love them yet.
