Patrick,Thank you!  Those little contraptions are actually called “Cable Cherries.”  They are easily installed and tightened via a 1.5 mm hex.  They are quite fun, come in some great colors and are available from Forager Cycles, and Paul, among others.  See below for the description from

Thanks Paul - the red is a custom color. I wanted something as similar to 'Rad Red' that Richard Sachs was using a few years ago. There was supposed to be a hint of pink that didn't really come through, but i'm happy with it nonetheless. It was the result of buying a blem frame from Rivendell

Hey Brian,One vote for the more classic green with brown accents…Now, if the Romanceur is gone, and you decide to sell the Roadini…I would do Periwinkle.  If the Roadini and the rest of your stable stays, I think you will love the green and it would complement the others well.Sent from my iPhoneOn

Howdy! I'm very excited to snag a Sam next Wednesday; I'll move over my Crust Romanceur bits: albatross, Paul Canti, White Ind. cranks etc. I'm so torn on the colors!! Fun bright periwinkle with more subdued accents or classic green with brown accents. INPUT?? On Wednesday, May 8, 2024 at

Black and green are very, very nice. However, I'm excited to see a Periwinkle up on the Riv site! Might have to get Sam #2. John On Monday, April 22, 2024 at 9:18:12 PM UTC-7 gre...@gmail.com wrote: > Love this Sam. Is this the same green the new batch of Sam's are coming in? > > On Monday,

I already own one - a pumpkin orange from 2017. If they offer the new one in the black they once sold, I'm in for another! I'll set it up as my "fast" Sam - no racks, light wheels and tires, etc. That is far and away my favorite of all the Riv colors I've seen, across the fleet. John

Great to see all these beautiful and functional Hillbornes. Although I don't have one myself, I do think the Hillborne blue/grey is my favorite of the Rivendell colors. Cheers, John On Monday, February 26, 2024 at 1:17:36 PM UTC-8 Paul in Dallas wrote: > It is fun to see the variety of

Enjoying this thread. Curious about the conti race kings. Those are 2.0s and they fit? Or am I missing something? I've used Cazadero 50s and they cleared, but I didn't like them enough and missed fenders. I'm always curious about other tires in that range though. I'll put a pic up eventually,

The one that got away… My first Riv, a 64, purchased after convincing myself I didn’t need a 68 Bombadil for another grand and change. I loved it, I broke it, and was devastated. Happily, I got to talk to Richard Schwinn about getting it fixed!, which was awesome. And so it came back to me,
