"Going to electrify it." Oh most definitely..it's the main reason I wanted a mixte frame this time around. That style is very common amongst purpose-built ebikes - the market largely skipped the whole "lady's bike" thing - because heavy ebikes aren't pleasant things to lean way over to swing a

I have 8 speed Ultegra levers, originally bar ends, mounted on Paul's thumbie mounts. The index mechanism on the RH lever is getting worn & sloppy to the extent it only indexes properly on about half the cogs. No big deal but if possible I'd like to buy a new lever. As you may guess, all

Customs, IIRC, 57 but with upsloping tts. I may have lost a good opportunity to keep a well fitting bike. But there were other things I didn't like about the Sam, so, all in all, not a real loss to me. (If the samecould have taken 50s with fenders, it would have been dreamy ...) On Wed, Jul 26,

Re: [RBW] Re: Rambling Interview with Grant: Trail, Women's bikes, Low gearing, Current Reading, Etc

Since your Sam had a reach that was within a couple mm of your customs, it's odd that you couldn't get it to fit, but water under the bridge. I think your customs have a 56.5cm TT with a 73 degree STA. Your Sam had a 59cm TT, but with a 71.5 degree STA, you should have had your saddle an

Re: [RBW] Re: Terrific Writeup on the origins of Rivendell by Jan Heine

Very good point, Jeremy. I like the looks of my Rivendells, but looks are as nothing compared to the fit and handling and "feel" of them, which each of the 5 Rivs I've owned has exhibited in one degree or another, but enough that it is set apart by this from any other bike I've owned. It's this

Re: [RBW] Re: Terrific Writeup on the origins of Rivendell by Jan Heine

Indeed to further the argument, I would suggest that what Grant is doing with the "cruiser" bikes (by which I mean the proportional chainstay bikes like the Cheviot, Clem, and Appaloosa) is very much trying to achieve the handling of those early road-ish bikes but for an upright fit and wider
