I like the way Jim D has mounted his lights.
I'm about 75% of the way done with a triple CREE LED light...it's
turning out a ton cheaper than most commercial systems.

My All-Rounder, which I traveled with prior to applying frame saver
had/developed a film of rust over the insides of the tubes. Grant
said to frame saver it and it would be no problem...he was
right...I've had the bike for over 12 years now without a problem

Justin,
I friction shift with 6, 7 and 8 speed rear clusters with Silver,
Simplex Retro-frtiction and Suntour Bar Cons shifters.
If the Silver's are jumping gears they have probably loosened,
applying a bit of bees was to the threads seems to help.

Thank you for sharing the pictures.
Some large cities can be amazingly good places to ride.

Joe,
I have a Tara (elder model according to the web site) but have not
use the ergo/nova. I have used the Tara on both 700c and 26 wheeled
Rivendells.
I like the Tara very much. I have no desire to change.

I believe the only Rivendell I have with lawyer lips is the
Quickbeam...somehow they seem to have worn off...so I touched up the
raw area with orange paint. :-)

Lynne,
My All-Rounder has 135mm rear spacing, I remove the axles from the
front and rear Phil Wood Hubs when I pack the bike. Otherwise, just
like yours, it's a bit of a pain.
Mine is a 59cm but with 26 wheels...which helps.

This is my favorite part of the whole thread
I'll probably re-visit the
idea when it's time to re-paint.
Not thought of a new bike, basic assumption that this bike is good and
will be around for a long time.
I love it!

Have you considered the Schwalbe Marathon Racers in the 700cx30mm
size? They're on my short list of next skinny tires to try.
