Thanks Roberta! Having read this forum for several years before buying a
Rivendell, you and some of the other ‘regulars’ have greatly influenced my
decision to buy an Appaloosa. Have a good year of riding!

Congratulations on the bike. It’s a beauty! Joe A. is so capable and a
wonderful ride for your varied riding situations. I had one for about three
years— so comfortable. This was my introduction to Riv and I found that I
didn’t have to be in pain to ride.

Hey Jason,
Thank you for the kind words. Your Sam and Bombadil were bikes that helped
push me into finally buying a Rivendell. The size of our bikes and the
landscapes we explore with them may be completely different, but the
Rivendells seem to be at home in both. I love your ride reports and
Beautiful bike and landscape as well. In that size, the Appaloosa looks
perfectly proportioned. I know what you mean about the surprising
liveliness of Rivendells - for instance, I find them much more sporty than
a Surly with similar tubing spec, even with the long chainstays that we are
Thank you Brendon! I really like the color, and I don't see a lot of Joes
in this color. It is a wonderful riding bike and I hope to post a couple of
ride reports from southwestern Wisconsin.

That is one handsome bicycle! The dark green has always been my favourite
of the Appaloosa colours, sad that I missed out on one all those years ago.

Thanks Stephen! I love both the mermaid and orange Joes. I am happy to have
joined the club and look forward to many miles this year!

Laing - Thank you for the suggestions. BTW I like your term ‘mechanical
malpractice’. Growing up on a small farm we committed this offense on
numerous occasions in order to get through a day of work before we could
get replacement parts.
Joe - Thank you for your opinion. The fact that it shifts
That's a nice bike! I disagree with the suggestions to swap the fd, those
suckers are easy to get wrong and screw up your shifting. It works, you can
ride, I'd keep it.

Patrick - Thank you for the suggestion. I do agree with the aesthetic
considerations, but as you surmised it does shift without any problems.

Sorry, itchy trigger finger, hit "send" too soon. Laing did not deny the
mechanical efficacy.

Danny- Thank you, Hope to run into you sometime!
Laing- Thank you for the input. I had a feeling that the front derailleur
would be mentioned. It does shift fine, but I will look at options. This
was the derailleur suggested to me. Do you have any suggestions?

I agree with Laing aesthetically but disagree with Laing mechanically. A
10-speed LX fd shifted the 38/24 subcompact double on my erstwhile Fargo
just fine: It had been installed for a 46/36/24 triple, and when I swapped
the 46 for a bash guard, changed the 36 for a 38, and left the 24 in place,

Congratulations.
Nice bike, but sorry, I cannot help myself - please get a front derailleur
that actually fits the bike and the drivetrain. That derailleur is meant
for a triple crank and also the cage is too long for the chainrings used -
forcing the derailleur to be mounted too high. It may
