Re: [RBW] Re: New Riv cantilever brakes

No worries. My point is that, although the SH most closely matches the kind of frame I want, I am considering other Riv models as well, and frame geo is one of the factors I am weighing. I wouldn't rule out any frame for not exactly matching my ideal. In fact, most of my bikes are less than

I admit to being picky, but then, I would guess this is true of most posters in the group. The shorter stays and trad end caps were part of why I was interested in the SH to begin with, so if my ideal geo happens to fall between sizes, that's just one more check on the "con" side. Again, yes,

Re: [RBW] Re: New Riv cantilever brakes

The SH comes in five sizes, increments of 3cm from 48 to 60cm, so unless a person is unusually tall or short, or has proportions that generally "require" a custom geometry, I would think there is a sweet spot in there for the 99 percent. I realize there are other parameters than just seat tube

Re: [RBW] Re: New Riv cantilever brakes

Maybe the "slightly longer" stays are truly that. And maybe I could get over the ball and socket ends. I hope photos of the actual frame change my mind. In any case, more depends on whether or not one of the frame sizes happens to fit the sweet spot for me. On Sunday, September 13, 2020 at

[RBW] A new Riv?

On the recent blug post there is a bike frame with the caption At one assembly factory, this General Fatigue test. Is it a Rivendell? A new model? QB/SO? The lugs do look like a Riv. Maybe just something built for testing? Maybe the cheap commuter bike that has been mentioned? Sorry but I

Bars are working out really well—just ordered a bosco/tallux 13mm/stem shifter mounts for the Saluki. Thanks for asking Micheal! Neck is getting worked on and making progress. Far better than the harness hobby horse! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google

That is the great advantage to owing something like a Rivendell - you can enjoy looking at it almost as much as riding it. The seat lug in particular has a very vintage design to it. Isn't it great to find a Rivendell locally and just when you thought it could never happen? On Monday, April

[RBW] Re: New Riv owner -- this time, with pictures!

Man..pretty bike. It sure cleaned up nicely and it looks like it was in good shape to begin with. Nice wheels and drivetrain...That's an intersting stem...it looks like you could adjust the angle. There is something special about the classic Rivs. Anyway, enjoy! Enjoy On Monday, April 15,

Oh, it has its share of scratches and one noticeable dent on the top tube. But it has those classic lines that I can look at all day. If I'm not riding it, which I'm about to do. The stem is an old SRAM adjustable. I had one on my too-small Rockhopper back in the 90s to get the bars up to a

[RBW] Re: New Riv Weekend!

That's an excellent point! I'm taking the suggestion to heart and riding a lot. If anyone is ever interested in helping get it dirty by going for a ride somewhere in the bay area, let me know! cheers, brencho On Monday, April 1, 2013 11:40:24 PM UTC-7, Andy Smitty Schmidt wrote: Echoing
