Deacon,
For having a bludgeoned brain, I am amazed repeatedly at the wisdom and logic
you use to live the best life for yourself. Knowing yourself is a skill that
can serve individuals so well; yet an extremely difficult thing for most to do.
Good luck regarding your win win decision. They
Deacon,
I clearly see you logic of how the three would compliment each other for a
specific role/purpose. Also I am aware of the cost needed to modify the
Hunqabeam and potentially modify the Gus if the used Eno hub does not function
to the level you need/desire.
Based on your ride reports
No I assumed that; I will buy the sum total of Rich’s build.
Offer still stands. That way you can experiment for free without double
dipping if the experiment fails.

I highly recommend you give the ENO a go on your fixed gear hillybike. As a
fellow Riv connoisseur who is extremely loyal I
would hate for you to spend $1100 to upgrade a stock frame. I have bought 4
new Riv bikes for family members and have purchased 5 used ones to accommodate

Sure excited to see tire clearance on whatever Grant’s special anniversary
Mixte might have. I would 100% buy one for sure if one of the 4 sizes does not

or girlfriend if neither of the first two want some Rivendell

Deacon,
I have all three and love them all. That said the only one I would use for
your riding that is beautifully depicted with words and pics is the Bull.

to you.
Best of luck. If you end up with a extra of
I apologize if this comes off as negative. My interpretation of Grant’s Blugh
is that the only thing he is considering as a “special” 25th Anniversary option
is the Mixte and 25 each in 4 sizes. I assume they would be MIT. It should be
something Grant enjoys creating IMO as much as others
Personally I would say the 62cm Betty would work for anyone with a 84 PBH up to
96 PBH. Comparable to a 59cm Clementine or Clem L. Have possessed both
previously. Wife 5’7” long legged wife and 6’ balanced proportion daughter
both fit a 62cm Betty. Daughter has a 59cm Clementine now and I
I thought I remembered that the 60 to 62cm evolution was essentially just one
of their earlier attempts to get bars higher. It only had a slight head tube
extension but other dimensions remained the same.
Although I am sure many will correct me if I am misremembering.

Derek,
Riv just posted a “new” low double version Silver crank with a chainguard.
That would be brilliant on a Clem. Might be interested in your JA crank too.

Hey Derek,
Happy to hear of another WM Rivendellian. Your logic makes sense to me. I
have a Moonlander for winter riding, Bombadil with 2.3” tires, and a few 33mm
go-faster versions.
If you know anyone looking for a clean XL Moonlander (2nd one) let me know; I
have picked up a Jones and have

I will verify that you and I (99.5pbh) are just slightly over a real
comfortable fit on any Cheviot. When in doubt ask for Will he is 6’4” or 6’5”
I believe and has been 100% honest each and every time. He can relate to our
perspective and situation perfectly. He has also tipped me off
Five to seven years ago Betty’s seemed slightly common for sale from my
perspective but that could be egocentricism at work where what your mind

surprised by how many I notice within my surroundings that I never noticed
I have owned 2 NOS Betty Foy frames that were sold before being ridden for the
two beautiful women in my family. My wife said she was giving up riding 12
years ago when our children transitioned into drivers training and a faster
means of freedom. fortunately she did a 180 and wanted me to

So love the color and woody fenders depicted in several pics. The only flaw in
the Cheviot from my perspective is there is not a 64cm or 65cm rendition of it.

their Rosco Bubbe project to use up surplus

I called Riv and talked to Will (large rider advocate) in addition to the
multitude of other talents he displays and performs at RBW headquarters.
He said the XL would be the ticket for us triple digit PBH measurements. He is

Anyone want to add themselves and their Rivendell fleet or history to a
POSITIVE ONLY commentary on how Grant and RBW has affected your relationship
riding bikes in the spirit of JUST RIDE in all it details.
For a starting tease: I currently have 10 Rivendell’s in a fleet of 16 bikes

I think you and I qualify for a Rivendell Self-help healthy addiction group.
Well done my friend.
I currently have 3 Atlantii in the house but 2 are gifts for others, and a
replacement 68cm Quickbeam working it’s way in transit from Nothern California
to West Michigan as we speak.
Pancake 丹,
Like the Good Deacon Patrick I love ride reports and the enthusiasm I sense
between lines of prose. Pictures are always a bonus. I disagree however that
the beautiful bike looks poised in front of the Dinosaurs 練 jaws; in my opinion
it looks abandoned and I question why a pancake
Happy you scored multiple beams. Way to cover your bases, I searched for a
68cm Atlantis or 68cm Custom for 2-3 years. Ended up with 3 within a month.
Moved one back then; with another possibly on the move now that I added a 67cm

Good luck in your search. The Quickbeams have a legendary following which

No such thing as a 68cm Simpleone or Frank Jones for us big-uns. I
mistankingly sold a 68cm Quickbeam once, will not make the same mistake again;
but fortunately for you they do surface occasionally. Can’t recommend the

The bike itself definitely qualifies as falling in the top 10 anything beyond
