The draft brochure version makes more sense. The other one has comically

[RBW] FS: Brooks, Stems, shifters, wolftooth, cassette, rack etc

[Drw]

What’s left 

Shimano bar end shifters- 10 speed, index rear, friction front. Very good 
condition, some minor rubbing on the black part. I bought these off eBay listed 
as dura ace, but I can’t see anything on them that says dura ace or the model 
number-55$ shipped 

-wolftooth tanpan- for mating 10 speed road shifters to a 10 speed mtn 
derailler. under 75 miles- 35$ shipped  

-Shimano stem shifter- one of the nicer ones I’ve seen. It indexes a 6 speed or 
frictions more. Good shape- 15$ shipped 

-nitto technomic  stem- 25.4, 10cm extension(I think). I cut this down so that 
the quill is the same length as a tallux. If you want a tallish stem but have a 
short headtube and don’t want something insanely tall,  this would be helpful. 
-25$ shipped 

-Nitto dirt drop stem. 8cm 26.0. Really Excellent condition. Just traded for 
this but ended up not needing it. -40$ 

-tektro v brake levers- brand new- 12$ shipped

I believe all Boots variants are going to be 650B/27.5. My personal thoughts on 
the matter at hand: Boots is going to be great and if one has even an inkling 
that it will do the stuff one likes to do, be patient. Clems are great, too, if 
that's really what you want and the price works better for you, but hoo boys 
Boots. That baby is going to be FUN!

Thanks Patrick. Large goes to 700c on the production models. In any case, 
not a huge deal. I'll probably opt for the medium. And I think I've

[RBW] Re: Gus pre-sale

['Mark in Beacon' via RBW Owners Bunch]

BBDD--No need to worry about me needing a bike SOON. Although I do not 
currently own a Rivendell, I have an entire fleet of Rivalikes, including 
my 1946 Bianchi  650B step through city bike, which does Clementine duty. 
I'm okay with either of the current colors, but I favor the bronze green, 
though the blue is reminiscent of the Blue Mink Raleigh Professional, which 
I've always liked.

Ed & Patrick, thanks for the reviews, very helpful. 

Garth, I mentioned first gen Clem because I remembered they changed the 
wheels. Just checked and mine are the Alex 18, so a full 6mm narrower. I 
run big rubber on narrow tires all the time, and I do have a set of Atlas 
rims, which are slightly wider at 20, so I guess I would use those to 
start. When/if I go to the full 2.8", I will probably build a second set 
with wider rims.

One other little high class problem is size. With a 73cm saddle setting 
most days, that's a height that appears in all 4 size ranges. Throwing out 
the small and the x-large, that leaves Med and Lg.  I know Grant would 
suggest a Large, and I do like big frames just fine--no worries with this 
design regarding top tube clearance. But I feel like the handling gets a 
bit more staid, lines tend to lock in more, with the fatter 700c tires, so 
I am leaning toward the 650B if only for that reason.  I had a Jones SWB 
complete for a bit and I liked the handling on that, road and trail. (Sold 
it in anticipation of re-acquiring a Riv for the same riding duties. Not a 
huge fan of discs and push button shifters. Bike was a lot of fun, though, 
no question about that.)

[RBW] Re: Rene Herse rene crankset ultegra chains?

[David Carner]

Toby,
I installed a Rene Herse crankset (double 44/28) on my Riv Road about a 
year ago. I don't think the pinned and ramped rings were available in that 
size at the time, so I have the standard 5-10 model. Since I was staying 
with 9 speed in the rear I used a new SRAM PC 971 that I already had on 
hand. In the process of updating the drivetrain I installed a Shimano FX-70 
FD from Rivbike.  I was frustrated to find that I could not adjust the FD 
to keep the chain from rubbing the cage on the inner rear cog.  I checked 
my chain line and it was within a mm. of perfect. Then I realized that the 
CX70 FD is marketed as a 2 x 10.  I bought an Ultegra 10 speed, CN-6701 and 
that solved the problem. I use indexed rear, friction front and it would 
seem difficult for either to shift more smoothly than they do now.

[RBW] Re: Latvia, Estonia, Finland bike trip suggestions?

[Sean Kline]

 

Hi Michael,

 

Your trip to Latvia, Estonia and Finland sounds great. 

 

My wife and I took our Sam and Cheviot to Helsinki two summers ago to 
attend the Flow Music Festival and then bike + ferry to Stockholm before 
ferry-ing back to Helsinki. Our modest credit card cylcotour loop was 
Helsinki, Degerby, Fiskers, Tammisaari, Teijo, Salo, Turku, Stockholm, 
Helsinki. I'm happy to share our detailed itinerary. Salo was nothing 
special, but the other towns were very cool. 

 

Most of Finland is very flat and, for the most part, easy to bicycle. We 
were a little disappointed it wasn't warmer (60s) and that it rained some, 
but we had a fun time. Finland has a pretty short tourist season from the 
beginning of June through mid-August. So, some things start to close or 
slow down around August 16th. Most of the major & minor roads are tarmac, 
however there are quite a few that are gravel, which were fine (fun!) for 
our 38 and 42 CM tires. I recommend cycling the Archipelago if you can:

Two worthy bike shops in Helsinki:

   - Pelago bicycles: https://www.pelagobicycles.com/kauppa
   - Classic Bike; Mechelininkatu 15, 00100 Helsinki, Finland

[RBW] father's day bike

[Will]

It's Father's day. I gave my son (who is a father) an Appaloosa. No pics. 
It's a standard Riv build. It needs fenders and will get P65s or B65s. 

It is definitely a beast. We dialed it in for him this morning. He took it 
out and said: "It's like riding on a cloud. It floats on the road".

It replaces his 1981 Trek 613, which was also nice: 531 lugged. But we're 
talking almost 40 years old. The Appaloosa is nicer in every respect. Lug 
work is beautiful. 

Biggest surprise: the choco-moose bars. These are big, wide, bars. 
Comfortable is an understatement. Second biggest surprise: huge tire 
clearance. The bike will take 700x55s. 

Will

Re: [RBW] Re: FS: MIT Atlantis 53cm

[Lester Lammers]

FWIW, I have a 53 MIT Atlantis. I'm 5' 71/2" 82 ish PBH 71 cm saddle height 
110mm stem with Billie Bars. Riv recommended a 50 but I told Will that most 
riding will be on the road and went 53. Glad I did. I can still use drops 
with a short stem. Stand over is fine and the bike feels perfect. Running 
42mm tires and could also use 47's.

[RBW] Re: Gus pre-sale

[Garth]

Mark, if your rims are Alex DM24's you're fine as they are 32mm outer/24mm 
inner.  The only other suitable rims I'm aware of are the Cliffhanger and 
Ryde Andra 40 and Big Bull. 
_

If I get a HillyBike I'd ride it as I ride my 60cm. Bombadil which is 
mostly on road which ranges from smooth to patch paved asphalt over once 
gravel roads.  I ride 700x50 Big Bens this year and the ride is terrific on 
the road and the occasional ATV paths I follow around.  I wouldn't hesitate 
to ride 60mm Big Apples or something like that with the HillyBike on road. 
I wish there was a 60mm Big Ben. There's not a whole lotta such tires above 
60mm at this time though. Just because a HillyBike can take 2.8" tires 
doesn't mean it's a requirement of course, I'm sure a 60mm tire rides 
great. 

I get the HillyBike is being marketed as offroad but that's just marketing 
as to market you gotta start somewhere. That doesn't mean it's limited to 
that, or by it. It's a BIKE for goodness sake, and one rides a bike 
wherever one rides it. 
Hmmm ... I've heard this marketing before . oh yes ... *When the 
Bombadi was introduced it was marketed as a Mountain Bike, over hill 'n 
dale we go !   *The talk was the same, about chest thumping "stout tubes" 
(hear the echo of Tarzan here) and how this assists carrying your 
truckloads of bananas from Costa Rica. I never thought of it anything but a 
Bicycle that I ride.  

I'd kind of like both a 59 Susie and a 60 Gus frankly, at least to try. 
Besides tubing, I don't know if the Susie is smaller scaled Gus in overall 
dimensions or simply a shorter seat tube. Compared to a Clementine oh 
ask a million people and you get a million different answers. I'd rather 
have a 64 Clementine in dimensions(long F-C and tall HT) but with a 60cm 
ST which his where the XL/60cm. HillyBike fits in as the front-center 
is very long and front end very high, at least from the XL demo photos that 
Riv had for sale.  Plus 3 sets of bottle mounts is to me a basic 
necessity,, Gus yay, Clementine nay.  A Clementine complete is great if the 
parts are what you really want, if not you end up spending much more later.
