I should clarify, I agree with everything he said about parts and wheels. I'm
just more on the side of do the wheels AND fancy up your Cheviot later. I think
you'll love them on the Clem, and that's still your main bike for the better
part of this year from what I can see.

I sort of agree with LeRoy EXCEPT I see no reason not to spend some cash on the
wheels for the Clem, even if you'll go all in on the Cheviot later.
Most of the weight you *feel* on a Clem while pedaling - especially up hill -
is in those hefty budget hoops, I think you would get a kick out of
Here is your basic question: *"Has anyone built a Clem up with lighter
parts? Does it make a big difference? As in, is it worth the money?"*
To pick an analogy, in the world of race cars, the adage is that *"Speed
costs money."* The question of how much money it costs can be turned on its
head
Hey all,
I'm selling my lovely and rarely used Roadini :( - I find I've been riding

Hi Rivendell folks. Well last year I picked up a Clem H and gotta day I am now
hooked. I am looking to set up a more road and light dirt road oriented bike.
Wanted to see if anyone had a small (47-50) frame or Frameset that they might
want to sell. I’m 5’5 with a pbh of 77. I love the knowledge
We had an enormous raccoon walk through our backyard the other day. We are up
against an open space so not uncommon but he was huge. I went out to check him
out and he wasn't too concerned about me. We also had a mountain lion attack a
child in daylight with numerous adults around which is odd
I rode tubulars on an 80's steel road bike for a few years. I am a younger,
newer rider (26 years old at time of press) so I didn't have the "first
bike" experience you mentioned, but I was drawn to tubulars for the ride
quality and weight savings. I used Continental Sprinter Gatorskins I
Just to add to the "weight" thing. It is less about the weight but rather about
the associated thickness/flexibility of the tube set used. For many people a
bike built with thinner walled smaller diameter tubes will ride with less
perceived exertion for a given speed than a bike of EQUAL weight

I hope you find one, Mike. I sold my car and waited 8 months for one of
those last MUSA built 58cm Atlantis in the age of true temper leaving the
steel market. I haven’t regretted it for a day. They are truly magical
bikes.

I've had my new Atlantis for one week now, and have taken it on one 4 hour
ride and one quick overnight trip. It's my first Rivendell, and I'm very
happy with it. It's the quintessential "All-Rounder", and I plan to use it
for anything and everything, for a very long time. Photos
There have been some deemed "bad angle", where the bar angle was angled
downwards more. They were sold upon request. I have a pair and prefer them to
the regular version.

Hello Folks
In the off chance someone will be driving North from San Diego to the Bay and
have room for a 45 Clem Smith Jr, either inside or on a rack, in the next week
or so.
My daughter wants her bike to try bike commuting to her WholeFoods job.
We can compensate the same as BikeFlights
Hi Hugh,
I have a brand new 56cm Rivendell Saluki frame and fork. It was a project
bike that got put on hold and now 14 years have passed and it's still
hanging in my garage.
Send me an email (rgalang(at)gmail.com) and go from there!

I just received a BXB Goldback saddlebag to use as part of my bikepacking setup. I have had many Carradice and Riv saddlebags over the years and still have a bunch but I think this one is the most well thought out and I can't find any flaws in the construction.Is it worth the $100 or so premium
I decided to use the lightest rear rack (aluminum old school Trek USA) in my
rack collection during my quarantine Clem build. The build began as a Boeshield
frame spray so I really got a feel for the weight of the frame. Mines a 59, so
large. I’m sticking to only one rack, no fenders. Utility
I’m not fully committing to this yet. Roberta and I get into trouble because we
talk on Marco Polo and then we get ideas and then we like each other’s ideas
and the next thing we know our wallets are on fire.
So, I am ordering a Cheviot, and I am spending extra $ to build it with light
parts.
I've got a used Ultegra 9speed hub laced to a A719 rim you can have if you'd
like. Well used, super quiet. And I'll throw in an ultra high trail fork to
sweeten the deal! Free delivery in Brooklyn
hopefully antibodiedly yours

I bought a full set of panniers and a saddlebag from Swift when they were still
working out of their house. I took the saddlebag in this summer to have the
snaps replaced which they did at no charge-great people to work with. Not
inexpensive, but I’d venture to guess that Wald’s labor costs are

Yeah their stuff is pretty expensive, but not over-priced. Might be
overkill for a lot of people though (not unlike a $1500 lugged steel
frameset ;) ). Pricing is definitely a product of quality of materials and
MUSA labour, and their stuff is more labour-intensive to make than a shop
sack,
I also think that Swift. Outer Shell, Ruthworks, ILE, etc. are priced to
allow livable wages where the bag makers live, which I think is a very
important factor.

Probably. I think Swift is priced on par with other USA bagmakers at similar
quality and size levels.

Hard to beat Wald or Carradice.
Swift is overpriced but great marketing, imo. I'll probably get criticized
for saying so...

Since you have been looking for so long, I’ll put forth what I have that is not
an exact match- shimano fh-6500, 36h, laced to Mavic Elite Pro 20.5mm. I’ve
never put a 10 sp cassette on it, just 9. If any interest at all, I can get
you more details. It is 130. Sale only.

I’m referring to any $200 bag made in San Francisco of organic hemp and
compostable plastic buckles, vs. the $50 Wald bag (and that cost includes
the basket).
Sorry, I just get a little burned out by bag preciousness :)

I don't have a shop sack, but I can offer a hearty endorsement for the Swift
Sugarloaf, which I've used as a daily carry for about four years now. It's more
expensive and smaller volume (I think), but also made in USA, top notch
quality, nearly waterproof, and has some organization pockets etc.
Thanks Justin, yes, I was referring to the Wald made bags. I am going to
be using my old Trek 412 as a fixed gear commuter/errand bike and I was
going to order a rack from Wald direct yesterday when I saw their bags.
Based on the feedback from Tim and Eric, I'm in for one. Thanks y'all.

Riv's Sackville ShopSack large and medium are likely my favorite and most
used bags... for many things bike and not bike.
Medium is great for Wald 137; Large is v. large and fits Wald large basket.
Durable, water resistant (water can and does go through the zipper in
sustained rain). I like
If you're talking about the Shopsacks, I love them. They're one of my
favorite bags on and off the bike. I don't even have a basket on my bike
and I use it all the time. Pro tip: I have a rack with a mousetrap (a la
the Pletscher "Clem" rack) I can just stick it under there and it will stay
Which are you referring to? Aside from Riv I found Troutman and Porcelain
Rocket when I searched. Thanks.
