It doesn't matter what factory makes your Rivendell, period.
In truth, any of them can be near perfect, and any of them can have
flaws.
I have a frame from Waterford that was made with a mistake that needed
repair. I'm not here to denigrate them, rather to point out no one ...
absolutely no one
Following the Taiwan tact of this discussion, the issue of the
Hunqapillar build is yet more complicated. On the Riv site, after
describing the wonderous tubing used in its build, it's reported that
the fame is made in Taiwan under the direction of Toyo, with the fork
made by Toyo, the suppliers
Very nice photos, Jim! I noticed that your Carradice Pendle saddlebag

It's a good bag, I just wished Carradice would get better hardware for

Well, I don't remember the exact quote, but it was something along
the lines of Toyo's fork curve being a home run while the curve done
by Taiwan is a solid double.
That quote was referencing the Bleriot fork it is from the comparison
to the Saluki in RR37. It is probably true of the SH too. Here
Didn't realize that... I thought it was a 650b only tire! This is
getting interesting... the 700X35C might be perfect.
Basically it's a folding Pasela w/out the Tourguard but instead with
HyperTex. That's supposed to roll better??? Their page shows
availability in skinwall also...
I did the short version last year for the first time. It's a tough

Either bike will work well, Rene.

A couple of weeks back, in an attempt to cram fenders and Jack Browns
onto the Roadeo I finally laid down my $10 and bought a set of

Panaracer Pasela TG 700x37c

As an out-of-towner I found The Slippery Pig in Phoenix to be a really

I don't know any shops, but will second M.B. in saying that Dreamy

I work for JJ and commute to a big (central NJ) campus, where there
are easily 3000+ employees. I am one of only a handful of irregular

Hi All,
My daughter totaled her bike against a curb yesterday (she's bruised but
fine) which means we get to shop for a new bike. She will likely fit a 24
wheel or thereabouts. Most of the majors have the same MTB/Cruiser models
available but I was wondering if anyone knew of anything

zero promoting it (although I'm told

Hello All,
My bike collection is becoming a bit more focused, and I'm finding the
Bombadil will be better suited in a new home. Its a beautiful frame
that just did not get the use I hoped it would have. The frame, bar
and headset are part of the sale. The frame rates a 9.5/10 and bars a
10.
When I was riding the Paris-Motos last fall I don't think I completed
a single ride of 30 miles or more without a flat, sometimes more than
one. I'll try them again in the spring and hope for fewer goatheads
on the roads. I've had way fewer flats on skinnier tires. My guess
is the wider tires
At this point, I'd even take a California storm if the temps came with
it.
Put Albatross bars on my LHT and ended up with frostbite on the face
and left foot over the weekend. Am thoroughly tired of winter.

You guys crack me up..I never take my fenders off. My bike

I have to agree with the full time fenders crowd. I recently added to my
