In the dark agest, sometimes on bikes with DT shifter bosses, the
brass from brazing gets sucked up into the hole for the boss, making
it impossible to tighten ANY wing-bolt. In the olde dayes, you'd just
cut off some of the wing bolt, so it wouldn't bottom out. There's
nothing peculiar about the
Hi, all.
If I start with a full set of Shimano bar-ends shifters (SL-BS64 Ultegra
8-speeds, if it matters), use what's needed to mount the shifters themselves
on Paul Thumbies and put them in service, I'm left with *some* Shimano
bar-end-mount-oriented stuff.
Is that left-over Shimano
I have a number of other Rivendell models - - Atlantis, Rambouillet,
Road Custom, Quickbeam, Legolas. The Roadeo is my favorite road
bike. For anything less than trail riding, it is a perfect bike.

That is just about perfect. Captures the Riv essence. Well done.

Each is built up, happy, rides well, and has its own personality.
The prettiest are the custom (below) and the Roadeo.

Nice! I'll be reconfiguring my Riv Road this weekend to be much like yours,
changing out the Ergo levers with standard brake levers and downtube friction
shifting. I had great luck with this setup on PBP, so I'm giving it a try on my
Riv. The biggest plus was better performance in terms of

RL,
Can you describe how it rides different than the Legolas?
These bikes have virtually the same tubes but different geometry,
I think mainly the BB drop/height. And the Legolas has a bit more trail.

Robert,
I have been using these for about 1.5 years. They have been working
well for me. I started to use them after all my old cleated shoes
wore out. The soles are thick. If you use toe clips, then you will
have to change to deep clips. Otherwise, the your toes are pinched.
This was true
Greetings friends,
I have a few sets of tires that I’m not going to use and would like to
ship out.
Pacenti Pari-Moto 650b x 38
Have about 25 - 30 miles on them and are as new. $100 shipped.
Pacenti Quasi-Moto 650b x pretty big
These too have about 30 miles and they were all in winter snow.
Thanks to all for the tips. I will make an attempt this weekend.

Dear Forum Friends,
Our bike packer, Mile, has headed back to school full-time, leaving an
opening in our line-up. Vince has been filling in, but he has limited
availability, since he's a student, too.
We posted the job at the local community college, but haven't found
the right applicant yet.
Most shops, even with those fancy fit-kits, will put you in a t-shirt
that is *way* too small.
Indeed. I shoved a book under my armpits and sent them my measurements.
The size they gave me was bigger than anything I'd worn before. I was
skeptical but I trusted the advice of everyone on this
Mike,
I apologize if I already asked, but is that big back rack the small
size or the large size?
Thanks,
