Just got back from a memorable 6 days of riding and camping in NW Montana,
in and around Glacier NP. No Rivendells on the trip, but you may enjoy some
of the photos anyway:

I have a 10-speed cassette, but I am starting to get a better feel for when
the chain moves. Lately I have been paying attention more and hope I can
get better at it.
But what would be really cool, is a 5-speed cassette.
Maybe for my next drivetrain I will try to get a 7 in the back, 2 up front,
Thanks, guys.

Peter,
The clear does darken the cork but I'm not sure "darken" is the right word.
Amber definitely changes the color but the clear just sort of enhances it. It
still looks natural.

Here's a link to a cool document describing the MA for various brake

The Silver Shifter is friction only, with no INDEX option.

Looks like Vaughn is using the longer Nitto brake hanger. Discontinued
but still available on the RBW site.
I don't have a small Hunqapillar but I am using one of those hangers
on my SimpleOne and it seems pretty good to me.
I think the "perfect" length for that piece of housing may be a bit of

Since I can get shimano indexed 10sp downtube shifters for <$100, I'll
probably give the friction ones a try and have indexed DTs as a bailout
option.

To anyone who is thinking about it:
They're great cranks and the range is nice. But I already have a pair
on the hilsen - and I like to have a double on one bike and a triple
on the other :)
they were $135 new - so $80

Funny how canti brakes are so simple yet quite theoretically and
operationally quite complicated. As I understand canti operations, I agree
with Jeremy that you will gain some mechanical advantage from a lower
straddle cable. You might also run fine sandpaper along the rim braking
surface just

Also, the Romulus with caliper brakes was only available for one year in
2003. Since 61cm is not an unusually large size, my guess is that Rivendell
didn't have one lying around to sell in 2007. Of course, time is hard to
judge for us humans, so when he says he bought it 5 years ago, maybe he
meant
54cm/2nd owner
Nitto 8mm tech delux
Gran Bois Maes 1970's 42cm (longest ramp I've ever seen ... maybe too long,
even)
VO long setback seatpost, now rendered irrelevant because I had to move the
seat up to accommodate the long reach bars!

Paul Racer front brake

That's a beauty.

Dude. Beautiful. I love the hetre-red and the butterscotch frame.
It reminds me of this one:

The most helpful article on cantilever adjustment is here:

It sounds like, from your description (not tons of power, requires lots of
hand strength) and looking at your pictures, that you might have the
straddle cable set too high/long, which seems to
It is a nice looking bike judging from the generic pictures, but also take
into account that the most anyone ever paid for a Romulus directly from
RBW, as he claims this one is, was $1550, plus shipping, which is
considerably less than what he is asking.

The ad may be completely legit and the bike the property of the seller but

Hi Folks,
Are there any small-hunq'a owners (48cm) who are using an accessory
rear brake-cable hanger (such as the Nitto paperclip) to avoid a sharp
bend in the housing? It looks like the photos of Vaughn's new bike
are doing that very thing.
If anyone has found the perfect length of housing for
