Totally agree with that observation. But I wasn't biking in 1994, so am
unable to speak from experience there. Wonder how much the 29er concept
also influenced the bikes?
As to the QBP brands, I'm not sure. From what I have read, they are pretty

If you have a threaded steerer, your choices are Berthoud or
Nitto/Grand Bois, and if the latter, then you also need the Grand Bois
stem. If you have threadless,

The Barlow pass sure seems like an excellent tire, but being narrower it's
a change in the wrong direction. Bigger bikes probably are being used by
heavier people which needs wider tires, not taller. There are plenty of
wide off-road 650b tires available, just as good a selection as in 700c,

The thump is the hop and the hop is the thump. If it's your tire that has
a hop in it, it will hop on any rim. Another way to test it is mark the
hop in some way. Mark the sidewall of the tire at the hop and put a piece
of tape on the rim at the hop. Then remove the tire and re install it

I can't tell from the photo, but there might be locking skewers for wheels
and seatpost. If that's the case, there's not much more to do.
As one who uses locking skewers for wheels, seatpost, saddle, it is a bit

a u-lock.

Most of the classic French randonneur machines had very *generous* fender
clearances, and that, together with the wide, and thus stiff, fenders,
seems to be the reason why there are no reports of fender accidents.
Generally, more clearance is better. At some point, it doesn't look nice,

Not to nitpick, but my engineering background compels me to explain that
when looking at fender/wheel dynamics, the trailing edge would be,
counterintuitively, the front edge of the fender, not the rear edge.
Aerodynamically, trailing edge refers to the rear of an object going

No, didn't want to make it sound like Grant invented or even re-invented

hugely a result of pushes he (and others!) made over the last 20 years. The

I bet the tires size on all bikes has grown over the last 20 years. Hybrids
previously had 30mm tires, now have 35 or 40. Even MTB widths have grown
with the advent of fat bikes. Those obviously aren't related to Rivendell,
but I do believe that the acceptance of fatter tires across the board has
