Jan disagrees with the notion that short chainstays result in a sportier
ride.
Some riders and builders believe that longer chainstays make the bike more

influence the bike's stability.

I was merely pointing out the counter-opinion to your humble opinion that
chainstay length has something to do with ride quality. Your opinion is
the majority opinion, no question. Jan and Grant have a different opinion,
that's all. They are in the minority, but they might be right.
I'd maybe be interested in the saddle bag support. I'm in chi too so let me
know when/if I can come take a look.

Hi Bill,
If chainstay length doesn't matter/makes no difference in ride
quality--such as making a bike more or less stable, or lively, or able to
climb well--then why bother to make a bike (such as Cheviot) with long
chainstays and another bike (such as Yves) with medium chainstays and
Hi there,
Sounds good. I live on the Northside by Horner Park. I think you had a
saddlebag repair as well. If you still do I could take a look and let you know
if I'm able to do the fix.
I also work near Wicker Park/Uke Village during the week if that's easier.
Thanks,
David

I was rather surprised to find that the chainstays of my Ram are 1-1.5 cm

than does the Ram. The customs exhibit an unerring straight line stability
Hi Evan
I would not claim to have made any conclusions for myself on this topic. I
haven't gone out of my way to set up two identical bikes where the only

I buy into the idea that it's all a matter of how upright you sit. When you sit way upright (as encouraged by Cheviot and Appaloosa) the center of mass does move backward. In that case, lengthening the support base through longer chainstay seems to make sense.
Rivs' chainstays have generally

Didn't Grant (or someone else at RBW) mention that the Clem Smith would be
sold only as a complete bike...no framesets? Did I imagine that?

Some but not all Tig sounds like a good compromise. If the welds are clean the
lugs understated then it could look nice.
A $1500 complete Riv is still pricey but is a new market for RBW these days.
Looking forward to seeing the prototype.

So, I'm pleased with my Redwood so far, with the slight bummer that I want
it to carry a front load better. Basically, I need a fork with more rake,
yielding lower trail. The headtube is 73degrees, which is generally used in
front loading rando types. I'm happy with space for tires/fenders, but
and this has what to do with the new tig welded clem?
