I guess I really like knowing those details and researching and learning
about frame design and such. I spent 31 years in the high tech metals
industry ( Rocket Engines) doing exactly this, so it comes natural to want
to understand. On the customs I have bought I provided key
design
Sure, that's one way to go about it.
Me, I'm not much of an amateur bike designer.
I'm not so much interested in picking the tubes as having the person that
designs the bike
making such determinations.
When I got my Riv custom I had a conversation with Grant about my riding. He
took care of
The website is vague regarding tubing thicknesses used. Does anyone know
the exact dimensions? Just interested in data to compare my Hillborne with
other bikes that I have.
Please don't reply with, Doesn't matter, they all ride great or
somesuch

I suggest sending RBW an e-mail or calling them. When I wanted the tubing
specs for the Legolas and Roadeo, I asked Mark. FWIW, the Legolas and
Roadeo have the same tubing for top and seat tubes, fork blades and chain
stays. The Legolas downtube is slightly heavier.

I may be wrong but I was under the impression that Rivendell specified the
frame builds. So toyo or Waterford would not make a difference in tube
thickness. I am aware there are differences, I just didn't think tube
thickness was one of them.

Well, yes, and no, I would think... Yes, Grant designs the frames, pics
the material, etc. However, when a bike that was being made in Japan by
Toyo was using Miyata steel, but then when RBW transfers to building at
Waterford, and W'ford doesn't have Miyata but it does have a stack of OX
I agree with you from year to year Leslie. I don't know if the Atlantis
for example is the same today as it was originally or if it's grown with
technology or what. I don't know about the tubing other than the implied
when I buy things that the two bikes are the same except phrase for water
