I'm in.
Partly because I was needing a new, "nice", sweater anyway, partly because
I already own and love a Riv sweater; the wooly pully commando sweater from
a few years back.
Pre-orders aren't a big deal to me, I'll either get the sweater or my money
back, so no concerns there. I trust Grants
When I read one of the recent posts about the sweater preorder and
supporting Rivendell the new mixte project crossed my mind. I wonder if
there would be enough interest in the mixte project to fund
developing/ordering the lugs. Perhaps as a kind of frame deposit. It's
very much just a
I did this ride in October 2016. It was great. Like other people have
suggested, I'd recommend a few detours. If you have the time and the
inclination for a lot more climbing than "necessary", there are a lot of
good side routes to pick and choose from.
You could start by picking and choosing

Anyone dissolve their own shellac for coating their cotton tape? I was
looking for some blonde shellac only to realize I had no idea if I should
choose flake, button or seed shellac, let alone dewaxed flake? The blonde
flake, non-dewaxed, looked like the best option, but I thought asking you
There are a whole lot ways to do long and hilly rides, but for urban and
(relatively) flat--but still experiencing a lot--here are my thoughts:
Spend a couple days in SF. Make sure to go over the Golden Gate on at least
one of them. Starting at the Ferry Building, go north on Embarcadero, to
Thanks, Chris. Saddle is an SMP Avant.
I rode Brooks B-17 and Selle Anatomicas for years - they are comfortable
and look nicer than the SMP, IMHO. That said, I have used the SMP's since
2011 (after a bit of cancer surgery). They work just fine, but I would
have been very happy to stick
Beautiful bike, and looks like a great ride. Which SMP saddle is that?

Appreciate the comments. Like Ginz, I wish that I had purchased the
previous Riv derby tweed sweaters. I don't want to miss-out again.
However, I am a bit concerned about buying sight-unseen. I do want to
support Riv, and I tend to trust Grant and his decisions. I might as well
do the same
STILL wish I had bought the derby tweed sweater when I had the chance.

D'OH! Your right of course. I was confusing Mark's bar with the Soba
bar. Carry on!

Yes, they are definitely not Noodles or RH Rando Bars.
Just had a good thought--since Mark built the bike up with Mark's Bars, I
should check Mark's Staff Bikes page on Riv. Plenty of examples on his page
with Mark's bars setup.

By my crude
Mark's Bar is neither, it is/was a more modern roadie bend where if you set up
the ramps flat then the drops will point at the ground at about a 75° angle.
For positioning of bar and levers think cyclocross, a short intense ride with
hands rarely in one spot for more than a minute.

Small price drop, if anyone is interested. How about $30 plus the $9
shipping?

I stand corrected.(Although technically not really, since I did admit I
could be wrong!;^) Anyway, nothing beats riding around town in a nice wool
sweater from a nice company, right? So I am going to order one. The natural
wool colors shouldn't clash with the Clem L frameset I am still hoping
Several lookers but no takers so I'll drop my price to $25.00 shipped
