Thanks ! I also have same size hand as my wife who is 5’9 . In men’s glove
size I am borderline small and roomy medium . I guess I can always head to
riv HQ and try couple of bikes set up with Shimano and TRP.

I have both levers on different bikes. I guess I have smaller hands (though
I wear a medium or large sized glove). At any rate, I prefer the simple
Shimano. The TRP RRL are too wide for my mitts. Sure enough, I can use them
(and have been, for 9 or 10 years now), but I find them wider and

You resuscitated it!!! Judging from the pics the Saluki was worth the
effort. The polished fenders really complement the gray color way -

I've always found the Shimano levers to be just fine, but for my hands
(glove size lg to xl) the TRPs with their wider hoods are so much better. I
also find the curved levers provide more effective braking from the hoods.

I have the same size hands as my 5'2 wife.. so your mileage may vary.
The Shimano aero levers have been called other names over the last couple
decades, but there seems to be one mold. So Tiagra will serve as a name. I
find them supremely comfortable, becuase they fit my hands.

would be simple and straight forward. What could go wrong?!!
First, I discovered that the threads in the BB shell needed to be
re-chased.
On hyperbole of tires "transformed to garden hoses" - for ride quality - by using thicker TPU tubes: Worse than that, bullshit / BS, with the writer indifferent to the truth value.Or a parody of the kind that Bike Snob New York fed on..Too bad that it undercuts the serious value of that review:
Good to have an opinion of Schwalbe 14A butyls versus at least 1 brand of
TPU tubes; perhaps I'm well enough off with the Schwalbe butyl extralights
which, besides, do very well amongst goatheads with OS regular forumla.

Hi Brian---
Yes - you get it - you get 26" wheels. I've been racing since I was 12
years of age and when I moved up to 700C a bit of the magic, the fun was
gone. When the XO-1 was released I jumped on it. Nimble, quick
acceleration, and to you point "bombproof"
Congrats on having secured a Toyo
The design decision for the straight top tube unfortunately killed my
interest in the frame. What a pity (for me)…

One last effort to sell this never-built 60 cm Heron Road frame and fork
only. As all will know, these bikes were designed by Grant at Rivendell as
a collaboration with Rona Components, then owned by Ted Durant. and produced at
Waterford. This beautiful blue-green road frame bears serial number

Best of luck! I feel very fortunate to have found my 54.5cm, 26” Toyo last year
and it has been a real joy to ride. Being on the shorter side (5’8”, 83 PBH),
I’ve always appreciated the frames designed around a smaller wheelset, and you
can’t beat 26” for that lively handling and bombproof
Another possibility is finding a Riv All-Rounder – many of them were
spec'ed for 26" wheels, even in the larger frame sizes, and it should be
just dandy for leisurely rides. Barring that, maybe you can find the
Handsome XOXO – they take a larger tire than the OG XO-1.

Regarding the ability of "thicker TPU tubes" to transform a "high end tire"

Thanks for sharing this, Leah! I was delighted to see that the Rivendell owner in the photos is wearing a t-shirt that I designed for the local brewery I do all the graphic design for (West Sixth Brewing in Lexington KY). The shirt says “Ride bikes, drink beer”, and features a simple illustration
