I guess the answer depends on your vision/intended use of the rando bike.
I’ve set up my Bleriot as a traditional fendered dyno lit 650B rando rig,
but the AHH has front rack eyelets that make use of a front bag easier to
set up. I also use my MIT Atlantis into a sort of heavy brevet monster.
I own a root beer Ram, but it has S couplers and was repainted by Bilenky
by its prior owner.

I found some blistering on my protovelo Romulus and after getting quotes
from Coast and Waterford, I decided to have my local auto body shop respray
the frame. It’s a single color with no panel on the head tube and no

You might want ask Riv if the Roadini would fit the bill. I really enjoy the

No spacer, cork or otherwise, needed on my build. I just used one of the
leather washers at the chainstay bridge. The cork spacer is a nice included
item with the Mud Butlers. The other nice thing about these fenders is that the
seat stay clamp is plasti-wrapped making for a silent install.

I think Bill Lindsay was making a kind offer to buy and hold a backup set
of the V1 shifters for me. It's nice to know the Walnut Creek Gang has my
back. Call me a crank, but I just hate when good things are "improved" out
of their original purpose. Ah well. Progress.

It's all good, but for me the originals epitomized an "ah, brilliant!"
moment you guys are known for. The replacements, for me, for my use, for
my style of riding not so much.

Bill--Actually, I do think I get the point. My friends at Riv decided to
change the shape of the shifter in light of the fact that the original mold has
worn out. They could have simply made a new mold in the shape of the original
which, I believe, is optimized for DT mounting and more than
Meh. I can't get excited about this version since it seems that given the
new shape DT mounting is an afterthought. To my eye, these are thumbies
and would look silly on a Ram, Rom, Homer or Roadeo DT.
