Good to know about the Alex; will archive this. Rather wider and heavier
than I like, and I think I'll prefer to futz with tubeless-i-fying a
non-tubeless rim; so far, so good!

Alex Adventurer 2 comes in a tubeless, rim brake 26. A bit narrower and
certainly not as nice as a Cliffhanger but wallet friendly and pretty
durable in my experience with the 700c version.

I figured that any tubeless 26" rim would be for fat tires. 30 mm is way
overkill for 42 mm, let alone 28 mm, which is what I use on my road bikes.
Still, for a Clementine, it's probably the very best choice if you want to
give up tubes.

I haven't weighed it. It has a light "let's just go a ride" feel, but is also
very stable. I don't weigh it down with a large saddlebag like my Mt Fuji. So I
have to bring a back pack for shopping. Back packs don't count as part of the
bike weight, right?

Hello I’m JP. I was at The Concord Willows REI 10 years ago and a person had a

Hello Group!
My name is Avery Wilson. I've chimed in on a few discussions over the past
year, but I've been reading the group pretty consistently for a year or so.
I currently have a 56cm Sam Hillborne (one of the blue headtube web
specials from last year).

Hi Avery, the bike looks great! Sams have a sloping top tube, so you're
going to have more post showing than on a Homer. As pictured, it looks fine.
FYI, I have an 89 PBH and ride 60 to 61cm Riv frames happily. For me having
the the top tube length dialed in at 590mm (+/-5mm) is what I look for.

650x32-34mm will likely work OK, 38mm might be tight. This Riv Road Std is
a dry pavement bike for me. Parigi-Roubaix plump out to almost 30mm, and I
find 'em mighty cushy. But it's good to know I have to option to go
Thanks, Patrick. The Roubaix Pro had nothing on any Rivendell, but the
geometry was a bit more sport-tour than race, and it did just kind of
disappear underneath me like no aluminum or carbon bike had.
Those early Rivendells hearken back to a few decades of pre-crit classic
road bikes, which is

Nice. I also recently picked up an early Riv Road; mine's a '97 in the
same size. I feel ya on the lack of tire clearance compared to recent
Rivs. I'm going to try 650B wheels to get more clearance for tires and
fenders; I'll report measurements when I get the wheels.

Welcome, Paul; very interesting introduction. And that is a righteous
Rivendell. I had an early edition Waterford-built custom road back in 1995.
I rather miss the more pavement oriented Rivendells of 10 years ago. And I
bet my new-to-me Ram will run circles around your Fuji.
