[RBW] Re: What is a Rivvish bike?

That was awful. I hope that was a translation by a doctoral candidate eager to impress, and not the author’s own words. To de-digress, I think a Rivvish bike has high bars, a leather saddle, and a red basket net. It’s steel, and either made by Rivendell, or from the 80s. Surly and Soma bikes

Regarding the Sam/Atlantis question: I have both. The weight isn’t much different between the two but in my experience the feel and handling are quite dissimilar. The Sam has a lighter feel on the front. The Atlantis feels more “planted” and a bit stiffer overall. Tubing, geometry and wheel

Re: [RBW] What do Rivendell riders use for winter weather head gear?

No matter what the temperature is, and no matter what I'm wearing, I sweat. I've found that wool is the only thing that can keep me warm while damp or wet, so I have a few different weight stocking caps (the kidz these days call them "beanies", but they don't have propellors) made by Ibex.

[RBW] Re: What is a Rivvish bike?

My puzzlement with this definition is that it doesn't really define anything as Rivvish--you can make a case for just about any bicycle out there. For me, the word "convivial" works to describe a Rivvish bicycle, in the sense that Ivan Illich defines it in his book Tools For Conviviality.
