I forget what other Rivendell you own, but the Roadeo was designed with
light tubing and road geometry to compete with the carbon fiber crowd, so I

Hi, Brady,
I do put lubes on the cables when I install them new. For the specific
problem you described, One thing you could do is to put some beeswax on the
cable end (the knob) and then pull the cable snug.
I do have some spare shifters, will PM you to see if you would like to buy
them.
Thanks Ash, actually I like the Appaloosa a lot but the sizing may be a tad
off from what Riv told me although a member on this forum has said the
standover was 30 5/8 which could work for me. What size did you get and how

The ad says there is lots of beausage but it looks pretty clean. There are
a few scratches but nothing major unless I'm missing something. Could be a

Yep, frame size and design flexibility. One lug to rule them all.
Aesthetically I do prefer the classic seat stay capped and brazed to the
side of the seat lug design, but I like the new lug just fine too.

In addition to the advantages Ryan mentions, I suppose another advantage of
the ball-and-socket lug is that it allows Grant to use the same lug on
different bikes and to tweak the rear end on existing models, all without
having to design and pay for a new lug each time.
I don't like the looks
No need for a dynamo, that would be great.

I think the main advantage of the RBW ball and socket seat lug is that it
works for most any seat stay to seat tube angle, so one casting works for
all sizes.
Aesthetics are always in the eye of the beholder. Personally I like the
looks of the new lug fine. Of course others may not.

I have the large front rack from Rivendell. Looks great. I like the larger
size compared to their other offerings. Most importantly, it is rated for
weight in the low 20 lb range - something I need.
Good luck! Fun project.

I just finished building up what I'm calling a budget-Riv for my partner,
and I used a Velo Orange Constructeur rack that I picked up cheaply on
fleabay with a Wald basket there. I really like the way it looks, and it
seems to work great. I can post pictures tomorrow if that would be helpful.
And it's sold, just that quick. You folks are awesome!

Hello Brendon,
Your report is so interesting. Glad to know and see that you are well.
Of particular interest is the trailer hitch on your car. Having never seen
this type in the States, could you shed some light? Is the hitch also meant
to support a bike rack?
