What did you think?
I have a pair on my fixed gear. I don't have any long rides on them
yet but so far they seem comfortable.
Noodles are claimed. Thanks for looking.

I read downthread that he's using a Burley Nomad. So cargo testing might be
in order.
If he can figure out some way to measure frame vibration, testing load
locations and packing density would generate really useful and really
interesting information.
Way back when, I had a newspaper route.
Sweet bike! May you ride it in good health.
It looks to me like you have studded tires on it - have you had problems
with the studs chewing up your wood floors? curious as i added studded
tires to my sam this winter for the first time and am worried about rolling

Years ago Mountain Bike Action used to test cheap Huffy mtbs to

of the cheaper brands -- need not be mountain bikes; Little Princess

which brands held up
Looks like you are well set up for the next thirty years. No way to

Slightly off-topic but since Grant talks about them...
Great bag that has been used only once or twice. It turns out I am a pocket
person with everything in its place rather than a one big space person.
$75 shipped. $119 brand new.
I thought the 66 would look awkward, too but your bike looks great. Even the
basket is perfectly proportioned.
I'm very curios about the drivetrain. A 40/11 is 99 gear inches, right at the
100 that Grant (and my own experience) suggests is the most you'd need for
everyday riding. I've been

The metal studs are quite sharp. I had those tires so I put them on
for now, once my Marathon Supreme 40's come in I will put them on and
not ride it in the winter.
I have used studded tires for a few seasons, I have Ice Spikers on my
Troll. I kind of carry the bike when I bring it in, I don't

For me, the highest gear I can effectively use for any extended length
of time on flat ground is around 85 gear inches. If I go higher than
that, my cadence slows down, I feel like I am going faster, but my
speed doesn't actually go up. And I don't think of myself as a slow
rider. So even having

I was going to say nice bike but I think awe-inspiring would be
more accurate. I got my Rivendell because I couldn't find anyone else
who designs bikes for tall people. I think they cover small people as
well.
I wonder if that is the biggest production bike they have made?

Great looking bike Jim. I'm guessing you have spent a great deal of your
life searching for things like shoes and chairs which fit your frame. It
must be enormously satisfying to find a bike that fits and performs, as
well as looks so good.
Keep the rubber side down,

If the 2TT discussion ever comes up again, I submit the photo as

That is absolutely correct. I was seriously thinking about a custom,
probably a Gunnar Grand Tour, but when you see the Riv frames, and you know
they are right, and they are beautiful, it felt like the right decision
from the get-go.
