Leah, Sorry if I missed it, but I've seen a stack of parts and I see where you've identified or mentioned a few bits here & there, but do you have an actual component list? Not critical, but I am curious about Rims and tires? I guess you got the 55cm with the 700C wheels? How does the fit differ

Re: [RBW] Re: WTB Nitto Big Back Rack - LARGE

I have filled surplus fender holes with ear stretcher plugs for some extra bling. They need either a leather washer and loctite, or just glue, to keep from rattling loose. My dynamo taillight of choice is the B Toplight Line brake, because...

Re: [RBW] A Bit Irked that Riv Changed the Seatpost Size

You are very welcome. Note that neither the Loctite nor the "gel with roughage" solutions make it hard to remove the seatpost, only with Loctite you have to smear more on after you remove, because it dries out, while the gel seems not to dry out, at least, not as fast. So experiment and, if you

I am possibly interested if this is for sale again (is that what I am reading here?). I think it maybe a bit tall for me, but I like frames to show only a fistful of post. My pbh is 78cm. A (2014) 51 cm might be better, but maybe a 53 could work. I currently ride a 51 San Marcos and a 52cm

Someone offered to send me photos of a Jones, so I'll take a look when he does. A small rise won't hurt. I want to get my hands about an inch further back at the same level as the bar is now; at least, I think that's what I want, with the option of grabbing nearer the clamp for more reach and a

Re: [RBW] Re: WTB Nitto Big Back Rack - LARGE

Jason, this is the way I always learn: The Hard Way. In my head, I think, I had a 55 Betty Foy. I will get a 55 Platypus. I will save this rack; it will be nostalgic, a nod to my first Rivendell bike love, and oh what could go wrong?! I do NOT think about fender taillights getting in the way

Re: [RBW] A Bit Irked that Riv Changed the Seatpost Size

Patrick, Thanks for the suggestion. Will look into that. Yes, it needs to be either an undersized post, or an oversized person on top for slippage to happen. Still haven't totally settled on the final saddle choice for the Clem, but for now am just going to keep using the factory stock model.

Re: [RBW] Re: Flat bar with some back-sweep

My bad, I had it in my mind you wanted modest back sweep. Jones Bend can be cut pretty short, but it does have a little bit of rise (1/2" I think?). Are you looking to keep your hands about the same far forward but with more sweep angle, or do you need the bars to pull back as well for shorter

Re: [RBW] A Bit Irked that Riv Changed the Seatpost Size

Eric: FWIW: I'm not very heavy, but I have experienced seatpost slippage with undersized seatposts, and I've cured them with 2 proprietary near-liquids: blue Loctite in the case of a Syncros ti seatpost, and that gel with roughish bits in it meant to be used with CF seatposts, this for the current

Re: [RBW] Re: WTB Nitto Big Back Rack - LARGE

Oh shoot, if only that was known before the tail light install; could have gone with the SON rack mount light. You could switch to the rack mount light and put a small nut and bolt through the hole left behind, but then it would not be perfect and I understand if that's a deal-breaker. This

Beautiful bike Leah! Glad to hear you're enjoying it so far. My one aesthetic suggestion, from someone who owns the same high-polish rims--peel off the stickers! The font on them is so aggressive for some reason. If I remember correctly they come right off with minimal residue. Then they'll

Well, if it needs to be said (and it doesn't) I'm also not overly happy about the larger Clem using a 29.8 seatpost size. But in this case it's purely personal. Wanted a Thomson setback post in black for the bike and that is one size they only do straight. Ended up finding a used Uno in black
