I've wanted to make a post about Rivendell's not set up at all like Rivendell's, because they usually look pretty awesome. This bike delivers. On Friday, October 29, 2021 at 1:16:56 PM UTC-4 robkr...@gmail.com wrote: > I like it. Are those hubs from a Vanilla/Speedvagen? Looks sort of like >

I like it. Are those hubs from a Vanilla/Speedvagen? Looks sort of like their paintwork. RK On Friday, October 29, 2021 at 8:59:20 AM UTC-4 Matt Beecher wrote: > Is that a garmin mount at the rear? Is it for their radar/rear light? > Where did you get it...or did you fabricate it? > > Best

In hindsight I assume the stem and seatpost are Ti ... That deeper/redder orange is fantastic. -Matthew On Thursday, October 28, 2021 at 2:35:54 PM UTC-7 Ryan wrote: > Agree about 12/10 coolness factor ...my knees find that gearing scary > though... > > On Thursday, October 28, 2021 at 3:00:52
