Oooh nice prototype! It's almost like a, dare I say it, british racing
green! From the text it appears it'll have a cream colored head tube
and from the news, the main batch will also have cantilever bosses.

Regarding #3.
As I've said before I used to eschew the use of zip-ties on 'fine
Rivendell bikes'.

That was before I used them to install mud flaps on my Saluki.
Now I'm a convert. Zip-ties even work as a way of mounting blinky tail
lights to the rear rack.

I'm also in the 3 tubes plus patch kit camp.
So far I've never needed to use the kit but once used all three tubes
due to a hard to find wire embedded in the tire.

Welcome Manny! From the other new Riv owner with the Ti road bike!
I'm not retired yet, but I'm a little over a year away from that.
Regarding painting the fork, I'm betting that it will be expensive to
do it through an auto paint shop, although it may still be your best
bet. A couple of
Wow, Thanks for all of the kind responses and good info. I guess I'll
have to rethink my ideas about weight and tools! Seriously, I will
carry enough to change or patch the tube and do many other repairs

that it won't matter

I'd take the opportunity and have a local framebuilder braze-on some wire
guides or internal routing (basically two water bottle bosses on the inside
fork leg) for a front dyno light setup. a few easy braze-ons plus matching
blue/cream paint should be no more than $150 and a few days, I'd guess.
I have a Nitto Dynamic 626 Crystal Fellow Seatpost for sale. 27.2 x
300 mm. It has been previously installed on a box and is very good
used condition. $50.00 including shipping in the lower 48.

I'm well on my way to converting a 1984 Trek 770 into a retro-modern

that it fits like a racing bike. I had it custom built in my youth,

Hello all,
Seth wins the prize! Yes Mtn. Sports in Bristol, VA had this bike and
others as well. If you call them, ask for Steve, he's to be the bike
guy there.
Cost of painting the fork is not a factor unless it costs as much as
painting a whole bike, I don't think that'll be the case. I'm sure
Seatpost is sold.

Building on some other comments here, I'd look at the unpainted fork
as an opportunity, and suggest having some braze-ons added to accept
the struts for a small front rack like the Nitto/Riv Mark's Rack or a
