Beautiful bike. Deserves such a beautiful crankset. The RH is (IMO) the
finest gem of any crank available.

Decidedly hope not. Many expensive products have less expensive
alternatives. People willing to pay for Rivendell may well decide the

Bruce,
By my measurements, the decaleur will work with a bar height of 33cm maximum
from top of front rack to bar centerline. I don't think this decaleur will work
for you. I will sell the bag without the decaleur for $220 including shipping.
