You ask how to build up a bike, and as others have mentioned there are many
"good" ways to build up a bike and I'd argue there are almost no "bad" ways
to build a bike, as long as it works (exaggerating a bit, but you get my
point)! You have loads of parts, so really it seems like you could

Dang, that is a big collection of spare parts.
Your problem with this thread is going to be the fact that everybody has an
opinion. People “like” different things, and will be proponents of them.
So what you need to do first is figure out what YOU like. and that is

I'm not sure where all you have listed it but there are a lot more people
shopping for Rivendells than just the folks on this forum. I would try
other bike forums as well as ebay. I know ebay takes a big cut, but it's
also the biggest audience and Rivendells don't usually last a long time.
I tried that for my Sam, Will would not do it so I found one of the
previous production year at a shop. And to think how many Rivendells I
have purchased. Good luck, glad it worked out. Not sure I would have

Eric, I mounted my Albatross bars on a Nitto NP 12cm stem (measures 12.5cm)

Hi Eric,
Is your neck pain from extending your neck? Did you have similar pain when
using the drop bars? Other pains/problems?

You obviously pay for the service but the advertising via social media, word of
