help us here - the 55 Platypus is about 62cm ETT, matching the 45 Clem L. I
have it this way in my head because I have a 79PBH and concluded I would
ride a 45 Clem (current) and 55 Platy.

The Riv rack will carry panniers if that matters to you. The R14 won't,
plus it has that sticking-up-part at the front that will interfere with a

what he paid all those years ago it could make sense. Especially if his

I'd look for a loose chain first, it might be too stretched in the middle
gears where there's not much angle on it. Next is a sticky cable, it might
be binding in the housing.
Also if you're using a Microshift 9 thumb shifter I've found some are less
than awesome. They don't recenter as well
Having used both (and BoscoMoose): Bosco all day unless you're absolutely
positively sure the CM is going to be right for height and reach and angle.
The only thing I ended liking about ChocoMoose was they looked great.

Geez, did I use the word "hearts" enough in that post?? I guess this is the

I understand the Riv philosophy and generally agree with it, and it's what
they do and sell. Rivendell has no reason to like everything and build
everything so they don't, there's no business case for it. On the consumer
end it's a free for all (if you have the money), we can buy and enjoy
of sounds
external of the bike out there that contribute, too.

Which btw screws up my big pulley timeline a bit. I'd forgotten this mech
had that feature, it had
*everything *Shimano was trying to talk the public into at the time
including the rollamijig thing for the cable routing.

Shimano Nexave, RapidRise/high-normal. Grant has a stash of them and will
put one on a complete build if you ask. It was a commuter/hybrid group
offered with a 7-speed "MegaRange" freewheel in the late '90s.

nt for not going too
fast but feeling safer and more comfortable. I used to to a lot of
singletrack on rigid Bridgestones and getting knocked off the bike from a
rock or root was not big fun for me. If I did it now I'd take the
technology with me, then ride my Rivendell on pavement and smooth t

Just back from a ride on my fancy schmancy custom with its fancy schmancy
White Industries hubs. Why did I think that loud freewheeling buzz was the
cool jam?? I feel like I'm on a Harley with straight pipes pissing all the
neighbors off! What's the verdict around here, are buzzy hubs hip and
Roberta,
Here's the geometry chart I had buried somewhere in my phone. Effective
toptube 57.5. Do you have a 54 Homer? That bike is 57cm ETT so very close.

I want that Glorius but I'd be so tempted to ship it straight to Joe
Bell for very expensive paint. Probably not the best idea!
The Athens Clem L is Doug H's, I think he sold it this morning.
