I had the chain rest installed on my Rivendell Custom. Rivendell used to
sell a clamp-on version.

I see derailleurs for sale for $20, and up. I bet they shift just fine with
skillful installation and practice. Dura-Ace costs a little more than the

the universe the Nivex claims. Better and lighter and cheaper than

If you were lucky enough to find one of those NOS, it'd probably be close
to the cost Jan's.
If you need one, cheap at twice the price!

So…RBW. Does a $15,000 handbuilt artbike enjoy preferential treatment or
does it acquire the usual beausage like any other?
Like your lowly, say, old Rambouillet?

I’m sympathetic to the cyclotouriste-inspired aesthetic, but agree that it seems like a very niche setup that is prone to instant obsolescence if RH stops making spare parts. If I were in the market for a new bike requiring custom fittings for a novel shifting system I’d just go for a Rohloff,

questions were sincere or rhetorical. They were:

Laing pointed out that the shift levers are sold out.
So is the derailer itself! At least this morning (December 13, 2022) it
is.
This is never going to be a high volume part. Plan your next $15000 custom
bike around it, or gaze from a distance...

This thing looks cool but as a whole i think it's exceptionally silly. It
may be better protected than a standard der but its still prone to being
broken or bent. Then what? Will RH be making this thing 10 or 15 years down
the line? Same goes for the shifter. I expect some people with a huge
To borrow a trite phrase, The Nivex shows that RH Cycles have jumped the
shark. The cost is well beyond any common rider's reach, requires
retrofitment brazing, paint, and only works with a custom shifter that
mounts to a downtube. Kudos to Grant and RBW for sticking it out to bring a
new RD
My assumption is this der setup would be a lifelong purchase? Seems like
most bikes that had this originally are still functioning. I'd imagine it'd

The shift lever looks as though it would have to be mounted only to a
downtube shift boss, guessing one might have to forgo bar-end shifting.

So besides the price of entry for the RD itself, there is the cost of the
lever (any other hardware?), and designing a custom built bike around it or
retrofitting a frame with an appropriate braze-on and cable guide, which
would probably also mean
I think Grant said ~$170. Sensah offered to do them for $350 which he was
adamantly against as he wanted them to be affordable and functional rather

After seeing the RH price point, I'm scared to think what the Riv derailer
will cost.

I'm intrigued but consider all the bits needed to make it happen and one is
probably looking at more like $1,500 and, besides that, most of those added
bits aren't available!? I'm still intrigued, though.

The "custom Rivendell" part is key as it requires the chainstay braze-on
for the RD mount rather than the standard dropout hanger mount.

That's a really cool bit, yet it's a lot to spend just to be different and
stylish.
What's the functional benefit to investing in one?

Thank you for sharing this here. I’ve often admired Jan’s rig with the
Nivex and wanted a production version for myself. It’s beautiful and to the
point and what’s more – I want one! Should I tire of my three pulley
Suntour (and want to pony up for a frame modification + repaint), I’d
