I think the Cheviot can handle 45's (without fenders).

Hello John,
Amateur lighting in the photograph. Paint is the Sage Green Riv offered on

Hello Andrew,
What shifters did she have on the bike before? When you said the shifters
died, what happened? Lever actually break? Was wondering if there was a way
to make the old shifters still work.

Hi folks. I am clearing out some stuff and ran across a set of "Panda"
Shimano PD-M515 pedals I have no use for. Left pedal is black and right one

Which ones are you referring to? The short pull standard canti/side

bike and parts finally come together. Any changes in parts and such while
thinking over the build? I know when I built the Rivendell Mountain I went
back and forth on several items. Thought of doing an 8 speed freewheel,
I have a 61cm roadeo and have ridden several other rivs and I love the way
the roadeo rides. It's the perfect bike in almost every way. It's the
most responsive bike I've ever owned. It's quick without being twitchy.
Only problem is it's slightly too small, so I've been considering
I don't know that it counts, but I took a short post build roll on a Trek
5900 OCLV carbon (Issue Bike) that I rebuilt. Rode it several blocks last
night and this afternoon. A bit rainy here today. May have gone longer if
it was not. here is to getting out on the bike in 2023, however you can.
Willet,
Nice bike. Pretty sure we have chatted before regarding Deluxe Bikes in
Lincoln, NE. That is where I got my MB-0(Zip). Got word of that frameset
from a shop manager I worked under. Was deciding on either a Trek something
or another, probably 930 complete or the Zip. The discount price
Hey James,
Looks like you got one of those smoke chrome Schwinns. I have one. Got it
from a friend in trade for some bike work. Was her fathers. Don't know if
he was the original owner or just acquired it. I haven't gotten to work on
it with work and the many other bike projects. I do have
Looks like your pic was posted at the same time I was typing this reply.
Looks like the 110-113 bb is what is needed.
Good luck with the build.
Thanks,
Reggie

Hey Jacob,
You say:
"I'm using a triple crankset (42/32/22 Ritchey)" and state it is a 110 bcd.
>From the ring sizes and the bottom bracket, it would seem that this is a
94/58 or 56 BCD crank. Lowest you can probably get the middle on a 110 bcd
is 34 usually, possibly heard of a 33 and the

Sorry to be late to the party.
That Specialized looks to be in decent condition. My thought was to lean
into replacing just what is needed. In this case I would go with replacing
the bars and shifters. The derailleurs that are on there probably will do
just fine. Getting some 7 speed
Eric, thanks very much. Inspiring words and pics coming from you! Thanks

Thank you Ryan. I remember reading an interview with Grant (maybe an early
Riv Reader) where he cited Mercian as an influence. Mercian was started in
I believe 1947.

The grips should come off fine. Just stick a slim, long flat screwdriver
under it, then spray some alcohol in under it to loosen it. Should slide
off fine. Can use the same solution or hairspray to slide on new bars.
Thanks,

Nice build. is the crank 110 BCD? Must be with the 33 ring. The bar set up
is interesting.
Thanks,

Hello folks. Looks like coroplast season is apron us. Anyone got any
projects/crafts planned for these? I picked up some discarded ones this
past week. Plan on using it on a small duffle that I had straps added to
make into a handlebar bag as a shaper.

Very inspiring to see the variety of Rivs those of you currently
own or have owned. Max, you have a stellar collection of bikes!
I'm a Golden Ager in terms of longevity but less so with Rivendell; since
2011 if I recall. Wish it had been sooner. I wouldn't have bought lesser
bikes. All part of
Hello Doug,
Friction shifting (dt and bar end) has been my only method of changing gears
with 7 and 8 speed cogs on my three bikes for so long that it feels natural and
intuitive. I guess if I had more variety in my bikes/ drivetrains i.e. 9-11
cogs, index shifting my experience might be
