[RBW] Re: Tried and liked: Suntour Cyclone pretzel

Your local shops sound like non-starters, if the one isn't confident and the other is bad juju. Freighting the bike coast-to-coast and back to Riv + their labor sounds like it's not a deal-breaker. Sounds like the west coast is the mecca for framebuilders. I have no idea about the east

Okay, some mild updates. I've bent and tweaked the hanger with crescent wrenches at least two dozen times now. Worked on it during the miserable heat wave here and during nicer weather yesterday. During the process I remove the chain and the derailer, tweak the hanger, re-install the chain

[RBW] Re: Tried and liked: Suntour Cyclone pretzel

Thanks, Ryan. Yes, I think the cost for the repair would be reasonable. I worry the cost to freight the frame would be a little painful and the time without the bike could be considerable depending on how it shakes out. The poster is the MTB countryside illustration, same illustrator who did

I can’t help but chime in here. . . I worked at Harris Cyclery for 16 years. The first 8 of those were side-by-side with Sheldon, who passed in February, 2008. This frame is one I purchased new from Rivendell in the original Russian green. It was 2004, IIRC. This bike never belonged to

Not sure about that original Rivendell listed for $1 which is not $1 in Brooklyn. If he means 1K I think he's dreaming in Technicolor. I downloaded one of the photos to zoom in on and regardless of the crappy obviously not original paint job with no decals or anything else to identify it, the

Re: [RBW] Upcoming Riv Ride: Chicago

I don't disagree with anything anyone has said about Navy Pier or the LFT. Once you hit North Ave it's pretty busy and becomes a different kind of ride, you're either slowing or dodging. But the location of Navy Pier makes sense given the mileage goal. And it's more or less a food court, so from

Re: [RBW] Upcoming Riv Ride: Chicago

Seconded on the North Shore Channel Trail. It should be much less crowded than the sea of humanity you’ll be riding with (and against) along the lake. You can combine that with the Lakefront Trail and get a really nice loop around the city and up into Evanston.On Aug 2, 2023, at 9:53 AM, Conway

Re: [RBW] Upcoming Riv Ride: Chicago

I'd stop before North Avenue Beach. I suggest heading Northwest at Irving Park. You can stop at Wrigley Field which is a much finer tourist trap than Navy Pier, and then work your way to the North Shore Channel Trail which goes all the way to Evanston. There are so many more quality food and
