What a treat to see Jamie’s pair of old Rivendells (esp that Glorius) and hear their stories. I have not heard that quote Jim gave us from Grant, but I’m very glad to know it. I’m also motivated to get a cyclometer to keep track of my miles. I have been using the workout app on my iPhone, but that
I have that same stand. I love it. It is so easy to get different bikes up
where you want them to be. And is so easy to fold up and store. Yes, if
you leave it set up, the footprint can be a tripping hazard.

I could be wrong but that brass dome looks too big for the original Silver1
(and Suntour Sprint) downtube/bar-end shifters. I know this piece will
work, I recommend calling Riv before ordering the brass one (which I think
only fits the Silver2 thumbshifter).
Yep. It should work just fine.

Welcome!!
Sorry to hear you’re slowing down, but glad you’re just slowing down (30
minutes can be a decent ride). Keep pedaling until the tires fall off! And
by chance are you very very very tall?
Happy rolling to you

Sadly letting go of a circa 2019-era Hunq. Tires are flat because the
tubeless goop dried up in storage -- give them a splash each (or tubes) and
it's good to go. Parts list below, message me for more pics and questions.
Looking for a 54cm Roadini frameset in Mermaid green. If you’ve got one
complete you’re looking to unload (I already connected with Ahmed) feel
free to reach out, though I really am just looking for the frameset.

Guys, here’s an interesting thing. I am still getting used to my new IRD seat post and figuring out where I want it. (I’ve been traveling, and I’ve been using my other bikes for things so the Racing Platypus hasn’t gotten all the usual miles.) Tonight, I moved the saddle to 40mm, so let’s see if
Very good point, and one I had not considered. Yes, much easier to add
rings and fd and tensioner than an IGH, and even simpler than adding 3 rear
cogs since that would in most cases also require a wheel build (unless you
find a rare 3-speed freewheel and respace and redish your rear wheel.
I think what happens is people like the bike, then gradually realize one or
two lower gears might be nice. For most of us adding a derailer and
tensioner is a simpler path than having the rear wheel rebuilt (folks who
build their own wheels can disregard).

There have been threads recently about 2- and 3-speeding Quickbeams and

No problem. If anyone else on the list could use the SOMA, feel free to PM
me. (Sorry for hijacking the thread.)
After posting earlier, i just found this which may be of interest. I need
to study it, but may get one myself. Price is right and I love the fact
that it's made in Ukraine.
I think I'm gonna sit tight for the full adaptability of the M18. Thanks!

Hi all, can’t remember the last time I posted. Long-time Rivendell rider,

friend when my knees got to creaky for fixed gear riding).

My experience with Brooks leather saddles is they have rather short rails which limit you in your setback. Cambiums have a bit more rail length, and so do Berthoud saddles. I don’t really have any other saddle experience outside of the three I just mentioned. I’m almost completely switched over to
