To be clear, I wasn't advocating Mavic's postion, but felt that their
response should be noted.

Hello Jim
Thank you for posting those inspiring pictures. What is the size of the frame
and what is the length of the stem? How is the Nitto Campee works with Berthoud
panniers. I´m curios to know because I´m in the porocess of building my dream
touring bike in same tradition.
Regards
Carl

One way of looking at this: regardless of the fault (frame, tire,
wheel, rider) the severity of the failure (almost guaranteed crash)
will keep me well clear of carbon spokes.
I've got nothing against Mavic, I have their aluminum rims on three of
my Rivendells.

Olle, I have been experimenting with 650b wheels with my 56cm Atlantis
(uses 559 wheels) but have had some trouble finding brakes to work
(among those I already own). What did you use to reach up to the
larger rims?

Hi Carl,
The frame size is 65 cm, and the stem length is 120mm. The Nitto
Campee rear rack works perfectly with the GB799 panniers. they're
designed to fit on a rack with tapering side supports (like the racks
that are sometimes built by custom frame builders which are mounted on
the fender).
Has this gone off yet? I saved it in my inbox, but my partner and I will be
moving to the bay area on July 1st and would love to join up with some local
riders for an s24o. She rides a saluki, I've an atlantis.
Thanks,

Hi
I am using Tektro Oryx but I was shifting the spacers from inner to outer
place, othervise I think some Paul V-brakes works.
And also put the brakespads at top of the slot in the brakearms.
I have ridden since 2006 with 650B on my 53 cm Atlantis instead for 559
wheelset.

I'm thinking late July.

Rich build all the wheels my wife and I use. If you want the spend
the money and light enough, he can build you something as light as
most light wheels out there but with 32 spokes.

A question for the SF area RBWO-ers: Say you are coming into town via

weekend putting it together. This is truly a gorgeous bike. The
paint looks fantastic and the lugs are very nice. Mine has a bit
fancier down tube lug than the one photographed by Renaissance

There are other carbon-fiber spoked wheels out there that have been
performing well for years. This particular Mavic rim is just a bad design
and prone to failures. But then again, so are the Ksyriums for that matter,
which are metal rims with metal spokes. I've seen enough of them taco'ed to

Man! That's quite an upgrade, from a U08 to even a made in Taiwan Rivendell!
I decided some time ago that, because one of my Riv customs was hanging on
the wall while I rode (fixed gear) beaters to work, that I would have the
Riv converted to fixed and use it for commuting. I have had no regrets
Well for me this was a big stretch budget wise, but I'm glad that I
did it. I promised myself that if I stuck with commuting by bike that
I'd get an upgrade. Well it has been just over two years of 365 day a
year commuting and so my wife suggested it was time. We had visited
Rivendell when we

I'd recommend downtown SF as a first choice, since you can BART out to
Walnut Creek (Riv HQ) with a bike during commute hours, but not IN to
SF. See http://511.org for schedules, routes and such. Hotels will all
be pricey. SF also gives you the option to ride out over the Golden
Gate bridge into
