I am looking to buy a Selle Anatomica H1 (with steel rails) black saddle
that is gently used or new and is in good condition. If you have one, send
me an email off the LIST.
Thank-you,

Man that geo is spot on. It's a shame Riv doesn't make a snappy bike at a
cheaper pricepoint but it also seems like Grant's really shifted his gaze
to the off-road, do-it-all sector. Lengthening chainstays on the Homer and
calling a touring bike a road bike feels like unnecessary overlap but hey,
I have a 61cm roadeo and have ridden several other rivs and I love the way
the roadeo rides. It's the perfect bike in almost every way. It's the
most responsive bike I've ever owned. It's quick without being twitchy.
Only problem is it's slightly too small, so I've been considering
Having owned a Roadini, I would go a step further and say it's basically an
old school touring bike. Long, relaxed, kind of overbuilt. I've never
ridden one, but I'd guess a Specialized Expedition or Miyata 1000 would
feel pretty similar. By contrast, I've had a string of vintage Trek sport
That is pretty funny! I assume I am in the rabbit hole alone when I make
some of these connections. Good on you for connecting as the Casseroll has
been out of prod for 7 years or so IIRC. I was comparing the 49cm 2010
Mustard Casseroll (my favorite version and just found NOS after 12 years)
cjust...@gmail.com, sorry I don't know your name, but while staring at the
finished build as one does, one of my first thoughts was, this looks a LOT
like a Casseroll! I've never ridden one but am delighted that someone else
made that connection. I would 100% agree with that description for the
I haven't fully read this thread, but have been tempted to discuss my
Scapegoat. I have the Gen 2 and, as I've stated in other threads, it is
one of the best bikes I've ever owned. I was slow to investigate or buy it
- despite wanting the exact thing - because it is so ugly. I finally
I think of the Roadini as a Rivendell road bike, as in "this is how Riv
distills Rivness into a TIG-welded caliper-brake frame designed to be a
little shorter than other Rivs, and will probably use dropbsrs and
skinny-ish tires." It's not a "road bike" as the current market understands
that
If you want to steal some marketing from another company where the ethos
has had some Venn overlap, would it be fair to describe the Roadini as:
"A versatile (light) touring machine with roadie influences."
Why that description? That is the marketing for the Salsa Casseroll that
was first
As long as you never build "that Libertas" and don't ride it, its ride
qualities will remain *flawless *forever, and the weight will only change
very gradually with oxidation.

Patrick,
You pretty much hit the nail on the head! It sounds like my experience with
the Roadini is similar to your Ram experience (which is ironic because I
like the way the Ram rides). The memory that was conjured up while riding
the Roadini was when I was a kid at a local playground and
Hi Leah,
It's probably 2 hours from you- 30 minutes north of Muskegon. You are not
imagining the wonderfulness of the Platypus. I am afraid I will have a
second one eventually also, well at least my wife is afraid.
It is called Central Cycles and near a very cool Amish bulk food store

I so enjoyed reading this. I will make it my business to get to the shop
you mentioned. Can’t be more than a hour or so from me.
I bet an Amish farmer bike dealer could really sell a pile of Rivendells.
New business plan! I’m so pleased you are loving your Platypus. I have

Michael, if you like the Swift Ardea pack, their larger hip pack, the Anchor is now on sale for $84, which is a pretty sweet deal.When I ride with a hip pack, the one I use is the Farsik Hip Pack Pro, which is supposed to be 4L, but it doesn’t feel like it. It’s designed very much like the Swift
That's frame and fork and headset, folks.

Another question for you Crust Scapegoat owners... Crust released an
updated version last Fall (https://crustbikes.com/products/scapegoat).
Compared to the Tumbleweed Prospector, the new Scapegoat has 1.5 degree
steeper head tube angle, 1 degree slacker seat tube angle, and the
wheelbase is

Roadini has sold!
To answer your question, Dan, I had hopes of building it as a
semi-aggressive fat tire road bike but boy oh boy do Riv's have something
to say to that. I had a 61cm Roadini in the past during a time when I
wanted to build a Riv to ride it like a Riv and I loved it. But then
Thank-you, Tom for sharing. Wonderful story. I enjoyed reading it. Nothing
like leaving good impressions upon bicycle folks out in the country.
I, too, hope that upon your retirement that you can work in Joe's shop and
help him grow and flourish his business.

Following on my other thread, anyone have one that they're intrested in
selling or trading for a grid-grey medium shopsack?

I've been using the Ardea bag from Swift which is near perfect for me,
expect in the winter when a few extra accessories are needed. I use it
everyday for bike and non-bike use. Ideally, I'd find a bag that this one
fits into.
Maybe I'll give a Grabsack another try, i think it'd be big enough
Hi all,
Much has been written about the ride of Rivendells being special. I went to
my local and favorite LBS Saturday in search of grey Newbaums tape to wrap
the hooks of my flipped Granola bars. The shop is very unique- owned and
run by an Amish farmer that started selling primarily to the
Tom,
I think the black looks great with the frame color. Have you considered
adding a splash of color with colored chainring bolts and/or colored crank
bolt cap?

I have a set of cantilevers and a set of center pulls, both purchased used
off this list, I think. What I really like about both sets is how easy it
is to disconnect and re-connect the straddle cables making wheel removal
and installation so much easier. Even though I didn't pay full retail
I bought two fifth season squall sacks, and I am impressed by their quality
and simplicity. You could get a grab sack and have one of the many outdoor
gear repair companies modify it. There's a lot of cross pollination and up

I run a 172 on my Susie and it is plenty high with the 2.5” for some pretty
chunky terrain. I have a 170 on my Clem with 2” and it is about an inch
lower. These bikes are so long that I understand wanting a bit more
clearance but if a 170 is comfortable I think the bike is high enough to
pedal
The following is a quote from Will at Rivendell, from some email
correspondence early last year regarding the Gus/Susie availability. He
didn't mention anything about production costs, but that makes sense to me.
"We have one more small run of them coming sometime late this year... and

Fair point(s). As you can imagine, the full suspension bike has a pretty high bb, though not as high as current comparable bikes. I rarely experienced pedal strokes even pedaling through stuff that at my age I probably should not be doing!:)I just looked at available solutions & thought it might

I understand your intent to avoid crank or pedal contact, but personally I wouldn’t base my crank length on the potential for pedal strikes on rocks and roots. In this case, I would fall into the camp of being conscious of the terrain, refining your technique, and being mindful of your own
Legit question. I am moving from a full suspension trail bike to the Gus. I have ridden my Clem (27.5 x 2.25) with 173mm cranks and have been reminded of how alarming pedal strokes can be! But, I really enjoy the trail experience on the Clem otherwise. I realize the Gus has a slightly higher BB
Thank you Garth.
Yes, it was indeed "Midnight Sun." When I looked up and stared at the moon
it was almost blinding.
Dorothy, riding in winter rain is much tougher than in snow IMHO.
And your Clem looks like the embodiment of what Grant was thinking when he
designed them.
