Late on the thread here, but I have a 46, 50, and 51 Riv's all with squeezy
space for saddle bags. Carradice Barley can really tuck in there and hold a
good amount. I've also found the marks mini to be really really adjustable and
I bet one could angle it to fit its tombstone under the seat.
A bit too simple minus chain and pedals, but doubtless this very
commendable complication will be added in due time.
Purty color, too. Let us know how it rides.
I think it cries out for some red bar tape!

For a radical approach that I find freeing and amazing ... I got rid of my
FD, have a 38t middle narrow-wide ring (holds the chain on very solidly)
and a 24t granny that I can stick shift to when needed (which hasn't been
in the 6 weeks since I switched other than to test it).

Well, chore loads can use other containers, too. But rack + panniers is a
good choice precisely because it's flexible: 2500 ci, or nothing, or
anything in between. For daytrips I can use a single small Packer Sport.
That said, on bikes that aren't used regularly for bulky or heavy loads, I

Selling without a wheelset is no fun, everyone wants to go away with a bike

Hello all,
I have a Nitto Tallux stem for sale - got sent the wrong size. I'll spare
the rant about proper stem measurement...
This one is new, never mounted, though out of package. Rivendell appears to
be out of this size/clamp combo right now.
So, $10 less than Riv and free shipping.

Beautiful bike, Erl! I really like the blue bar tape with your paint scheme,
that blue head tube is so nice with the silver. Two 650b Rivs in the

+1 for this sensible statement, and +1 for rack + pannier(s). Having used
many if not most of the saddlebags out there, as well as any number of
pannier types, I've always come back to rack + panniers for any serious
loading. If you need a rack for a bag anyway, panniers give you at once the
most
there are loads and there are loads - all of my bikes have roadside
necessities permanent on the bike. Chore loads require panniers, but not
daytrip loads.
