That is tragic in a bicycle sense and makes Amit's one day delay for
his Bomba almost trivial. Hopefully your bike/frame resurfaces
quickly and is back on track (no pun intended). Did Rivendell receive
the same notice. No offense but they might have better luck getting
straight answers due to

Looking at your no. 10 and after reading Jan's account of his 50 hour
weekend ride in the latest BQ I am intrigued by this sort of thing.
I certainly love being out on my bikes and I've been trying to slow
down and ride farther not faster. I love riding at night too. It just
seems that being awake
#10 was not intended to mean a 24 hour plus ride. (that might go on
the 2012 goals list) I just mean a dusk 'til dawn ride. Long 8+ hour
rides are journeys, but a lot of your attention is focused out at the
scenery, the countryside, the views, etc. That said, I do a lot of my
best thinking on
Has anybody heard the lastest about the release of the bike they are

Nice! That was good. It's been awhile since I fell for an April Fools joke.
Perfect. I look back at it and think, Oh, of course. That never happens! But I
fell for it!

Yes Kudos, I fell hook, line and sinker. I guess it just shows my
compassion for fellow Riv riders. Ill wait patiently for pics and
try to get some of my first images online of the little 64cm Bomba
located in West Michigan.

Yes. I too felt for you. Especially as a person who has had, shall we

situations. And as a person for whom the whole unboxing a Rivendell
experience is one of particular import.
I felt your pain.
Well done, sir! Well done!

Hopefully March 19,2010 is not really the latest. :)
Calling Merry Sales is probably the best way to get that info.

Okay. So the bike was outfitted with a 125mm Phil Bottom Bracket.
After some adjustment / centering, the crank arms JUST made it past
the seat stays, by less than a millimeter. Frame flex, especially in
turns would cause the arms to hit the stays. That's a no-bueno. So,

I've posted a couple of S24O's here. I only got one taker-- but I had
fun both times. If anyone is interested in doing another S24O, I'm in.
Locally, the campsite at the top of Montebello and the campground at
Sanborn/Skyline are good spots for a sub-24. Leave in the afternoon,

Apologies to those who took it too seriously, and to anyone who may
have a personal connection to UPS - unless of course your own comments
were thinly veiled April Fools jokes themselves? I did not set the
hook too deeply, and fessed up after only a couple comments. Just
goes to show how often
Hi Marty,
You got what you deserved! Happy April's Fools Day!
I'll be on the lookout for next year's gag... You were early this year!
Happy Friday as well!

PS: I don't work for UPS either, but love to see their trucks drop
packages for me.

I do not appreciate retaliatory April Fools Jokes. My favorite uncle
lost his life in an uncontrolled escalation of retaliatory April Fools
Jokes. Somebody gave him a crankset fashioned from billet marzipan,
and he rode it on his favorite trail. The cranks failed (being made
of marzipan)
True, but I figured summer 2011--maybe?

Either way.. if it's not all but many, and needs to be fixed.. it's still
defective. It's not your riding style or any riders technique at fault. So
they need to fix all saddles or better yet recall them.

That's quite a retro move. Campy Center pull brakes! Look like short
reach too, Is this just for better braking? I know on my Paul Racers
the stopping power is certainly an order of magnitude better than
sidepulls, it just seems to buck the long established trend of
sidepulls.

Bill,
I didn't say it was all or nothing.
Note: i can read about and talk about speed and peformance all over
the internet. If I was going for performance riding/racing style of
riding it wouldn't be a Rivendell anyway.
Point is this type of riding has been a joy and revelation beyond what

The centerpulls are for improved aerodynamics on time trial bikes.
The fronts are meant to sit behind the fork where they can hide from
the wind. They use a noodle for cable routing, kind of like a
modified V-brake. The true centerpull rear can be mounted under the
chainstays without the arms
I heard about this yesterday from the email I get from Traveling Two which
