I found a problem on my A/R I've never seen before. I'm trying to remove its
cartridge BB with what look like the normal 20-spline pattern on Shimano,
Tange, etc. bottom bracket cups. But two tools I've tried are slightly too big
in diameter to slide into the splines. Do I need a different

At any rate, something worse is happening. Every day I come home from the

That’s a great little video Alex!

Been riding 165s on my ss mtb for years and always felt like I had enough
leverage.
It is only a ~6% difference in length going from 175 to 165. My breakfast
likely matters more for leverage.
Nice wide bars on the other hand did feel like an improvement.

I've recently been experimenting with 165, 155, 152 and 145 cranks (80-ish
PBH). I can't vouch for dirt riding or climbing long monster paved hills, but I
detect no leverage difference in general town riding. I rock less on the saddle
and it saves my knees, I think shorter is better.

Regarding crank length - I prefer them 165-170. Tried 175 but liked them
less. Some of it may be what I am used to, although I have zero issues
switching back and forth from 165 to 170. I am 6' tall and of average
proportion.
Unlike Rivendell, I feel like crank length is a matter of personal
Thanks, and this is the discussion I was looking for.
What I ended up with is the FD-3030 road derailleur when an outer chainring
of 46 teeth and up is installed, and an FD-M611 when an outer chainring of
44 teeth or less is installed. This was more because the geometry of my 51

This is an anecdote, if not a prescription.
I made an early Dura Ace 74XX fd work on a Brontrager hollow-pipe triple by
cutting off the little lever stop that limited outward throw. Serendipity
arranged that the new, far greater throw corresponded exactly with the
outer ring limit of the
Forgot to add about the knickers: The legs were cut straight across and
hemmed, and velcro straps added (again, pro-level work). The ends of the
legs are not tapered or gusseted.

Hi Nathan!
Sharp looking rig you have there! That color is a great one for the sam!
That path looks like an idyllic setting for a ride! You've certainly got me
daydreaming about misty forest mornings now!
Enjoy the bike!
Happy Riding,

Ryan, I was just thinking that thought yesterday. A few months ago I had sold
my MIT Atlantis frame and it was looking - for health reasons - like that
Rivbikes chapter was closing. Then stuff happened and I saw that mid-stepover
custom on Riv's site and plopped my deposit down..now this!
Thanks all! So far I've been loving it and plan on riding it for a long
long time. Maybe not in its current drop-bar configuration, but in *some*
configuration. I built up a Cheviot in the same color for my partner with
albatross bars, and man are they comfy. I'm hoping to put a pair on in the

Joe,
I think this is the bees knees and an amazing score. Funny how bikes come in
sets like waves. Unless that is something you and I just have in common with
our ocean like brains searching for the perfect ride. Looking forward to see
the New Custom coming down the pipe for you. Someday
Thanks, Addison! I've always admired your A/R, it's gorgeous.

Yep Mark -- perfectly stated and well understood. And yet, we fawn all over
the simple Grant appointed 26" wide clearance level top tube model when it
shows up. It feels like an ethos thing to me. I realize that the Atlantis

Indeed...I stopped by Riv a few years ago and test rode a Hunqapillar.
Loved it but realized I was pretty much riding my Allrounder which I've
written about extensively and posted here. Of all of the early riv models
it strikes me as the most quintessentially Rivendell. Nice find Joe!
More than half the Riv lineup consists of all-rounders in various
configurations, including the Atlantis in 26" for many years. I would say
these bikes represent the design evolution of the all-rounder as
interpreted by G. Petersen.

I've never understood why the All-Rounder doesn't have a permanent place in
the line up.

Ah, but will they survive Joe's late teens 'lectrification? Could become a

Now that I think of it, I am certain the editor will be receiving angry
letters denouncing the magazine for publishing cartoon people on bicycles
without helmets. (I'm not kidding or being facetious in the slightest).

You might also consider the Shimano CX-50 or 70. Cyclocross doubles, they are

and smooth too. I built a bike up for a cousin with the CX-50 and was surprised
at how nice it is.
