Now that is cool..manual shifting kinda like the QB/SO but with a
easier gear changing. It was just a matter time before the derailleur
came into use..wow and all that aluminum tubing.

After a long stretch of travel and parts gathering/swapping, my Bombadil is
on the road. What a perfect bike! Smooth, stable, comfortable, capable. The
Bullmoose bars easily beat out the Noodle and Albatross set-ups I tried, and
the B67 beat out the B17 Champion Flyer. Nothing not to like! I'd l

Here is a google map using the bike travel mode. It says 4 hrs 16 min. for
the 35 mile route. So your 6 hours is pretty conservative.

I get you Jimit occurs to me that these tall head tubes
and up sloping head tubes minimize the whole triangle thing and the
second top tube restores that. This of course keeps the bar position
high at same time keeping the frame stronger plus the frame also fits

I think it would be a mistake to view this presumed original Rivendell

philosophy at that time. As you know, there were three original
