Eric,
Tell me about your front light situation and the bell?
Great looking bike. Very clever on the kickstand.

I have a co-worker that has a similar setup (on a Protovelo,
actually). It will work with a 3 speed. But doubt it would work for
anything else.

Nice and very similar in looks. Cris at VO had some pics on the blog
of a identical stems on top of a brochure with forks while back. My
bet is that it's made by Maxway and then rebadged for various
companies.
At Hiawatha Cyclery, we have done some fairly extensive
experimentation with alternative shifting arrangements for IGHs,
mostly because we have had numerous requests to put gears on former
single speeds.
Before the EXCELLENT Jtek shifter came along, we ran a Shimano bar-end
shifter through a
Spoke to someone at Rivendell yesterday and they said that it would
out in about 2 months.

Hey cool- Small world. The other item in that link is a graphic novel of
the Constitution written by Jon Hennessey, one of my best pals from high
school! I highly recommend checking that out, too. Now he's working on a
Civil War comic based around the Gettysburg Address.
Cheers- Mike in so.
Cool Tools is a great site, I check it almost as much as I do RBW.
That graphic novel of the Constitution looks awesome, I'm getting one
for my kids' class.

Dear Mike,
RR42 is in the works, and coming along. We are shooting for September,
most likely.
October, maybe.
Thank you for your patience.

I'm pretty sure the Rivendell Reader goes over any proposed
'deadlines' fairly routinely. I think Grant Petersen mentions in #40
that the Reader would no longer be a benefit of membership because of
this, so that he would have more freedom in terms of scheduling.
It's such a terrific magazine

Before the EXCELLENT Jtek shifter came along, we ran a Shimano bar-end
shifter through a travel agent to make it work with an Alfine

By far, our most viewed flickr image. It mostly worked, but I never
thought it was solid enough
The Rohloff uses a completely different cable, actually 2 cables: sort
of a push/pull system. It wouldn't be easy to roll this complicated
mechanism into an elegant bar-end shifter.

It is true that the 8sp hubs will not
generally fit on a stock QB, but you could probably cold-set to 132 or
whatever is needed.

The original poster on this thread noticed that the SA 8sp hub can be
easily run on any frame that is spaced between 115 and 135 mm, just by
adding and/or removing axle spacers. Brilliant!

The Riv Reader is always worth the wait. The articles and interviews

especially useful as a way to keep up with the Rivendell community and

Of my entire post, the criticism of Sigg consisted of only one
sentence. My major point was that GP was being so apologetic about
the problem, that it wasn't necessary because it wasn't his doing, and
that this was just another example of his altruism (to quote Esteban),
which is another of the
