[RBW] Re: Phil Rivy hub axle OLD 130->126->120 respacing

I did this on an older Phil FW hub. You can buy a shorter axle end piece on the FW side, but there are differences over the years, so you should contact Phil directly and get the one that fits that model. Then you'll have to re-dish the wheel. Greg On Tuesday, May 16, 2023 at 8:28:12 AM

Re: [RBW] Re: Rivendell paint color repetition: Your thoughts

Nice looking Rivendell Standard road bike! Looks like exact same paint options as my recently acquired Mountain/Expedition. I think the specific color was Burnt Orange, for at least 1997 era. On Wednesday, May 3, 2023 at 4:01:15 PM UTC-5 fyavorsky wrote: > Butterscotch! > > On Wed, May 3,

Re: [RBW] Rivendell paint color repetition: Your thoughts

In an ocean of charcoal, slate, and black bikes, I just appreciate the wide range of colors Rivendell puts on their bikes. However, I have what I think is a minority opinion: I’m about 75 percent in favor of no more than two specific colors for specific models (**with exceptions for custom

Just my humble opinion but if you are going to nutmeg country to ride you'd be missing out if you you didn't check out Ron's choice trails in the woods. After my first Nutmeg Nor'easter I'm fully sold on making the 9 hour drive up every year to ride those 300+ year old carriage roads and forest
