Great point, Jeremy. When I called my LBS to ask about 650b wheels for my wife’s Clementine build, the owner, who started the shop 25 years ago, was at first baffled by the rim brake rim request. When he called me back, Velocity build, for nearly twice what Rivendell was selling the same build.

[RBW] Re: New Bike Day! Black Mountain Monster Cross

Great build! I would contend that in this day and age, any new multi-surface bike that doesn't use disc brakes owes something to Rivendell, since they are some of the last holdouts supporting rim brakes with plump tires. On Wednesday, March 14, 2018 at 2:34:24 PM UTC-7, Bill Lindsay wrote: >
