Thanks Jim for the thoughts.
The saddle isn't new, so maybe I'll try a very small angled change on it
and see how it goes.

I'd be interested. If the standover size is 79.5cm that is a 55 frame, my
size for Bleriot.

learned quite a bit by doing this work by myself. Removed my STI shifters
and brake interrupters, along with the cabling and housing, and a stem
riser and replaced the stock volpe drop-bars with albatross bars with
shimano MTB brake levers and silver shifters.
Got everything working just

The ride has changed remarkably - and almost entirely for the better.
The sliding is definitely a issue with a new Brooks saddle, especially if
you have been using the more prevalent commercial synthetic types. Subtle
changes go a long way on saddle adjustment. Also, after a few rides, your

Hello to you. You are about to make a wise choice in bicycles. I really
don't think you could own a better bicycle than a Rivendell. There's a
wealth of of information here.

I think I spelled Rambouillet correctly.

Charlie, you might enjoy the pics of my '83! Nice bike--the frameset and
some parts were my first successful ebay bid...in the late 90's as I recall.

now let's just see how funky this volpe will look with albatross
bars :)
Ordered albatross bars, cork grips, silver bar end shifters, brake
levers, and cabling….

It'll be interesting to hear your thoughts on friction shifting with
power-ratchet shifters..I presume you've been shifting index on your Volpe.
I thought I would never adapt to friction, but kind of stumbled into it
when I bought a couple of bikes with the old Suntour shifters (bar-ends on
so got a chance to meet Grant this afternoon for a quick spin on a 56
Sam Hillborne and a look at what can be done to make my Bianchi Volpe
a bit more comfy. Very nice experience there with everyone - Grant
assured me that the Volpe is an excellent bike, and gave the
suggestion of albatross bars
Another reason why I love the shop. Hard sells are not in anyone
vocabulary. Instead of trying sell you a brand new bike, they offered a
cheaper way of making the bike more useful. Welcome to the group!

Grant is right on that's a good bicycle and with a few mods you will
get comfy. You'll then have something to ride while you save for a
Rivendell. This will also give you time to figure out what you want.
Time will always refine
Pretty sure a 56. Heading to RBW tomorrow and should know better then. I
measured my PBH at just under 81cm and I'm just over 5'8

Hey now,
Looks like a fun group here. I live in the bay area and am taking my first
trip out to Rivendell this weekend to take a look at some of these beauties
in person. I currently ride a Bianchi Volpe,
