I asserted a RapidRise rear der is especially perfect if you have stem
shifters. I asked if anyone knew why?
Ray guessed it had to do with easy one hand shifting.
That was not my reason. Actually I'd assert that a one hand double shift
is slightly harder with a rapid rise RD, because most
Bill,
Did anyone answer your query about why the rapid rise is perfect for stem
shifters?
My guess is it so you can upshift or downshift front and rear simultaneously
with one hand.

My Nitto lugged stem was on the shelf at Rivendell raw and totally
unpainted. I went in to buy one because I was setting up a drop bar
cockpit for my Bombadil. Jay grabbed a normal finished one and the raw
one, and said 'same price, we'll get it color matched to your Bombadil'. I

My Campee front rack is the F20, which is the "Mountain Campee" which is
nominally intended for 26" wheels. My experience with both the 700c and
26" version is they are quite tall. As you can see there's ample headroom
clearance even though I've got 650B x 50mm tires.

is that campee rack the 700c or 26" one? I can't tell if the f20 is a specific
size or just refers to the style. either way it seems to fit really well w
650b.

Looks great! I like the red, lugged, Nitto stem.
I’d feel handicapped trying to hold a coffee mug and ride a bike up a hill.
No desire to add a handlebar mug holder, grab sack or reserve a corner of
the basket?

Sweet bikes, especially that first one.

What tires are that? And how much clearance is there with those, especially
at the fork?

Are you considering tubeless? So far it sounds like Hetres are working out
fine running tubeless.

Awesome job. Your bike looks so much better and useful with higher
volume tires. Very Riv-ish indeed.

did you consider the 57cm or 59cm with 700c? i am 5' 9-1/2 with a

Height of the bike is not the only issue. The reason I am thinking
about the 650B Hilsen is the 700 will not fit a tire as wide as the
Hetre with fenders.
At 5'11 and a half but with a pbh ~84.5 of so, I fit the 59 700
Hilsen fine. Sounds as though I may be between a 56 or 58 650B Hilsen

I finished it up yesterday afternoon, and I've been laid up with a
cold, so all I did was ride it around the block. Even on that short
of a spin, I can confirm that the fit is exactly what I was shooting
for. I can't tell you how useful Grant's frame-drawing lessons were
for me. I have
If my supply of money was never ending I'd be ordering a 58cm 650B
Hilsen tomorrow. I'd want a custom color though.
I've decided to just dip my toe in the koolaid for now and get in on
the Rawland rSogn preorder.
Hope you feel better and get in some good rides soon.

than most on this site, but it does all seem to work aesthetically.
Most important questions are... how does it ride and how do you like
