Tom, I've got Campagnolo setups on my Rambouillet and my Ritchey racing
bike, and like it, but it's not all that Riv-ish.
The best reason to use Campy (my opinion only) is to use Ergolevers, if you
really want integrated levers. I like the 9-speed stuff a lot and have
adapted 10-speed levers
Sold.
Thanks,
Ed

they are too big.
If you have a new pair in medium -- color is not critical -- for swap
by mail, let me know. I tried them on but did not ride
Looking for a Sackville TrunkSack small in good or better condition,
not particular about color.
I have a choice of Ostrich boxy front bags to trade: one original
version that was mounted on a couple of bikes for testing and removed;
one newer version never mounted.

This is such a good discussion, because it points out that Grant P. is
looking out for his customers. If someone asked me, which builder
would you rather have -- Waterford or Toyo? -- I'd say, sure. It's
nice that Waterford is U.S.-based, but I look at it as supporting
Rivendell first, and I'll

Correct. The Ritchey in my size frame, 58cm, has 73.5 seat
Oh, and the chainstay bridge was drilled and tapped to mount a fender.
The clearance between the stays is quite narrow, however, and I can't
see squeezing a fender in there -- currently I have a tab extending
from the fender to the bridge.

I like the Flyer a lot for certain bikes. If the bike already has a
cushy ride then it's probably overkill. I use the Flyer to smooth out
the kick from an otherwise stiff bike. or put another way, to soften
the ride. The spring action is rather subtle, however. After awhile I
don't notice it
