59cm Riv for sale over on Pinkbike in Colorado.
$3k price is optimistic. Nice to look at though.
Possibly my fav type of green for a bike!

I'm glad that no one was badly injured. I've had my share of falls,
fortunately, fewer than might have been, but I've had some quasi miraculous
saves, one in particular when I was bombing along a dirt path racing a guy
on a dirt bike (motorbike) in the distance (I was much younger then) and
My wife went over the bars with the cheapy v brakes and cheapy levers on her
Raleigh Detour. She did not get hurt.
But upon me test riding right after the rear derailer got wrapped up in the
spokes.
Once she was passing over perpendicular to an 8 inch wide x 20 foot fissure in
the road about
Gotcha, Max. I know others like the L model Clem a lot for the obvious
clearance while maintaining the rest of the geo. Adam and other 59 L owners
may have some advice WRT the Clem L vs what we know about the Gus.
Good luck! Nice ‘problem’ to have :-)

I'd guess that the principal reasons for the difference are cost and a more
general all-rounder use for the Roadini; the Roadeo is a high-end road bike
aimed at the club rider as an alternative to good if not top quality carbon
fiber frames -- heck, as an alternative to 15K carbon fiber frames, if
Thanks for sharing your experience, Tom. Methinks that the 52 is a bit on the
small side for me, but the 59 is just as much in the tall side for intended
use. Will wait to see the sizing on the upcoming MTB to run the fatter tires.

The only time I've been over the bars was using Tektro R539s. Still got the
bone chip in my elbow as a memento. Still got those brakes bolted up, too.

asking him about TAIHomer vs. Roadini vs. MUSARoadeo.
I was researching this all in depth for my latest purchase.
I wanted the lightest tubing set they make because I knew the usual Riv

52 cm. original green Sam Hillborne
Wheels: Deore LX hubs, Atlas Rims, GB Hetre tires
Crank: Sugino triple
Cassette: 11-36 (9)
FD: IRD Alpina
RD: Deore rapid rise
Brakes: Deore V-brakes
Albatross bars with bar-end shifters
Plus: VO steel fenders, VO constructeur rear rack, Nitto mini front rack
My daughter bought a commuter bike with a Nexus hub and noticed the same
problem. She found a youtube video & from that was able to sort it out in
a few minutes. It was something like lining up two yellow markers. Not
intuitive but easy once she knew what to do.

Hi all,
I'm selling a set or aluminum Jones SG Loop H Bars. They're the wider
ones. In an attempt to further Jones-ify my Karate Monkey (good bike/bad
name), I replaced them with the riser version. $60 shipped to lower 48. PM
if interested. Thanks!

Maybe your friend was trying to shift his gears with a stick when they
crashed, or their fender jammed, or their overloaded Wald basket/nitto rack
failed into their front wheel? ;-)
My point is, any bike rider can wipe out. V-brakes can have the same type
of on/off problems with modulation
Hey Lum,
Appreciate you staying with me on these questions.
The next one being my 3rd Riv, I want to think it through a little more
before pulling the trigger. Hence all these questions.
The big question in my head is, with its specific deliberate design, how
heaver is Roadini as compared
Thanks for the info.
Looked for the saddlesack small couldn't find it. Turns out the Sackville
BagBoy SaddleSack is the replacement for the small. Luckily clicked on it,
name made me think it was just one of their oddball bags.
Not interested in the capacity of the NLL, Time to start
A Barley will fit there without a support. I recommend the “Audax” version of
the Barley. Same size, better features.
A Nelson Lowsaddle Longflap might fit, might not.

For a Roadini-style bike the Riv banana sack is a roomy bag that might
suffice. If you want to go larger, then the Riv Saddle sack small should
fit. The larger Acorn bags (if you can grab them when they are put on
sale) also follow a thin form factor that is good for us (height-challenged
folk).
Decided I want a little bigger bag than just a seat pack. Leaning towards
a Carradice Pendle, Barley, etc.. Aesthetically the bikepacker bags don't
do it for me.
The question is fit on a smaller frame. Am I stuck using a bagman
support? Is there enough clearance to use without a support?
Hi all,
interested in a dynamo hubbed front wheel for an atlantis, so in rim brake
and silver. let me know what you got. also if you have the wheelset front
and rear, i could be interested in this as long as the rear spacing is
135mm.
Thanks!

Daniel, not poor form at all.
The Breezer Uptown is a great bike for someone who is starting to look into
bicycling. Who knows, they may get into bicycling and happen upon "Just
Ride" and find it good reading. Next thing you know they may grab a
Rivendell or two. :)
On Friday, November 2,
Deore arms, XT hub and Trek headbadges now gone.
What remains:
- MKS Sylan touring pedals. Good shape, bearings need some grease. $15.
- Sugino Alpina 2 double crankset. 165mm, 110 BCD. Original fancy CNC'd
48/34 rings in excellent shape. $85.
- Thomson Elite 1-1/8th threadless stem.
Whew! Glad it is normal!
Yes, sounds like the magnet parts passing each other.
Thanks!

Hi Daniel,
This is my story! I decided that I wanted to ride a bike from my apartment
to the T station ~April 2008. Public transport wasn't so reliable, and I
wanted to sell my car.
My friend recommended Breezer Uptown 8 without missing a beat, and I
happened to see it at the LBS. To be
Agree, one thing I've learn is you can't "force" bikes onto people. They
have to figure it out for themselves. Now, if they are interested in your
bike, then go for it.
Once, I had just built up an old litespeed ti frameset that I got cheap. It
had 25mm tires and fenders and a bunch of mix
So, this may be really poor form on a forum dedicated to a bike company we all
hold dear, but when I am asked to recommend a practical town bike, my answer is
always the same: Breezer Uptown 8. Upright riding position with slightly swept
bars, aluminum frame available in standard or low-step
As previously mentioned, my SV-9 sounded like this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g5YBals43L8
Sent it back, and they confirmed it was defective.
My replacement non-defective SV-9 doesn't make any noise, nor do my SON
hubs.
(Very rarely I can feel a slight vibration through the bars, but it's
I have two PD-8s that make almost the same noise. It seems to dull over
time, but never goes away completely.
It's probably the sound of the dymano/magneto parts (wound stators?
whatever) going past each other.

The designed with input from Grant Peterson 'Brooklyn Bicycles" are
excellent commuters.
I added a cheap dyno hub, and my son had a double top tubed, shallow

Cannot hear while riding (a little when stopping).

I've done quite a few rebuild/conversions of 80s-early 90s era mtn bikes
(before the term "hardtail" was in common usage) to city/commuters, often
with solid, dependable 36 spoke 650b wheels and rim brakes, comfy
street/gravel tires, Brooks B67/68 saddles, upright bars, etc. Usually I

I did talk my wife into a Public mixte with Nexus hub. She loves it and the
bright orange bike with match racks makes the neighbors smile when she rides
it. What I have found is that the cheaper parts are a bit more difficult to
adjust and keep adjusted. I’ll probably upgrade the brakes when
I'm a bicycle advocate here in the suburbs outside Washington DC. I field
questions about bike commuting all of the time. I'm always pointing folks
toward more stable bikes with fatter tires. Most of the local bike shops
are on board with this idea as well and stock bikes that are more useful.
