Always wondered about metal fenders and lack of a safety tab. I thought
perhaps metal fenders were less likely to fold up and jam the tire than plastic
fenders.

Wow! That is such a beauty. I love everything about it, except it doesn't have

It's also interesting and fun to compare it to that orange Sam in the previous
post. Very similar. Just not with all bells and whistles. All Rivendells are

Provide 2 cm clearance and "folding-up" is far less of a concern.

An issue with metal fenders could be the so called "folding-up" when sticks
caught by the tire are pushed up under the fender as the tire rotates

abruptly stopping the motion of the bike and causing the rider to go
A truly beautiful bike. Congratulations. And a slap on the back to Grant
for confirming that Riv is not in the "retro recreation scene."
Curious: What does Grant have against VO or perhaps just metal fenders?
More photos, please, as you build it up and ride it, and your impressions
of the ride. I
Yes, the frameset does show features that may be viewed as non-Riv typical.
After filling out the order forms, these features included, Grant was kind
enough to entertain me in several hour-long telephone discussions
pertaining to the intended use of the bike, handling characteristics, etc.

I think that may be true especially if you are willing to pop for more than
the 3.5K base price of a custom frame. In my case, I just paid the base
price...so Joe, I think you're absolutely right. How much more , I expect ,
depends on effort. Anyway, it's a stunning bike and I'm glad we get to
Wow..that's impressive! I wonder if the custom limits are more in Nobilette's
hands now, i.e., "If you can do it and it still looks and rides like a
Rivendell with my/Grant's geometry and philosophy, knock yourself out."

Doug and Eric expressed surprise that Grant allowed internal brake cable
routing.
In exactly the same category, this frameset is notable for four other
eyebrow-raising details:
1. seatstay pump peg. I don't think I've ever seen a Rivendell with one
2. frenchie chainstay slap guard. I don
That was my thought, I am pretty sure there was a day when GP would have
nixed internal cable routing. Looks like a fancy Rambouillet!

Interesting that Grant agreed to do internal brake cable routing. I didn't
this this was something Riv supported (I work on my bikes too much, I hate
internal routine)

Of all the Riv customs I've ever seen, the one shown on the BLUG today is
the one I would be most likely to copy.
