Hey Gabriel, The Softride suspension stem and the Thudbuster Uni-Pivot are comfortable. When trying to decide what bike to use the Rivendell Mountain and my OX Brand Ti cruiser were top of the list due to the comfort factor. I played with the thought of riding the Gary Fisher Gemini tandem

@Gabriel It's a 56 cm. I just put on a Nitto front rack last night for commuting. Eager to see how it handles on the commute tomorrow AM! On Thursday, August 25, 2022 at 2:32:12 PM UTC-5 Gabriel Bruguier wrote: > I love the way this thread is developing! > > CJ-- it is the Nitto & Blue Lug

I love the way this thread is developing! CJ-- it is the Nitto & Blue Lug Hi Bar. Crust sells them but they're out of stock at the moment. Reginald-- thanks so much for sharing the story of ordering your Mountain. What a Christmas that must have been! I'm very curious how the suspension

Thanks Ryan! Yep, it's a Toyo. I bought this as a stablemate to my Surly Trucker and this bike surprised me by how much lighter and response it is. It's unfortunately a little big so I need pass it along and find something similar and smaller at some point. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ On Wednesday, August 24,

Nice Atlantis though Looks like an earlier pre-Taiwanese one if I'm not mistaken...based on the not super-long chainstays. Looks like a nice build and I rather like that front bag On Wednesday, August 24, 2022 at 12:51:28 PM UTC-5 malvar...@gmail.com wrote: > I don't have anything to add to

So it is a mirror...that's what I thought! Down memory laneI ordered my 1997 A/R in early August after Winnipeg suffered a 100-year flood that necessitated Army assistance. We were OK, though but we did help with filling and stacking sand bags. I also finally got the frame around Xmas but

Hi folks. It is a Delta Cycles mirror. I have two in use. The other on the 1993 Bridgestone XO-1. Works well to get a glimpse of what is behind you. The Rivendell Mountain was Rivendell's first offerings. There was the Road or Road Standard, Allrounder and Mountain. You had several options. I

Hey, good to see another Nebraskan, Jason! I need to make it out that way, I've been meaning to do the ride from Lincoln to Omaha for way too long. Thanks so much, Ryan! You nailed it. Mine's a 1996 model, built in March according to the serial number. There was a thread on this model a

Earlier Waterford-built model maybe until 1996-7? I don't think too many were made but it is an earlier model like the Road standard and Allrounder built with Reynolds 753 and 531 fork On Tuesday, August 23, 2022 at 7:10:24 PM UTC-5 jasonz...@gmail.com wrote: > perhaps a dumber question, but

perhaps a dumber question, but can someone educate me on this "Riv Mountain" is it a semi custom or an earlier model like the road standard? I love it either way. Also cheers to the Omaha folk, I'm out here just south of town on the Mopac between Springfield and Louisville with my Quickbeam
