I've made 20 or so handlebar bags, and in my experience /most/ of the work is pretty easy, but the parts that aren't are surprisingly difficult. In particular, sewing the corners of the bag & taping the edges are the places where you'll end up driving yourself and the sewing machine to despair

I'm no authority on this, but I like 5-8 mm of clearance between tire and fender; not so much for sand or mud, but more for sticks and other debris that might jam the fenders. You could go without fenders, but unless you brush the sand out of the waxed drive train, the grit will prematurely

My Protovelo came with an Appaloosa head badge, Riv advertised it as a Protopaloosa, the single decal on the top of the mid tube identifies it as a Protovelo, I suspect they added the head badge sometime after the bike was built. It was a demo bike at Riv headquarters for a while before I

[RBW] Re: PSA: Bay Area custom I wish I could afford

That bike is definitely a Protovelo. I'd guess from the bunch that Riv sold around 2008. I think Grant said they were test bikes so Mark could get comfortable with the lugs. Still an amazing bike but not a custom. Cheers! chris -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the

That thing is sweet. The Nobillette built prototypes were all super nice. As far as I can tell Rivendell clearly differentiates between prototypes and customs though - as in you can't get a head badge and Riv decals for your Protovelo if you have one - despite it being built by their custom
