"Doug: Riv lugged MIT frames go for about $1500 so you can extrapolate from 
there same as on, say, a Sam or Appaloosa build. $3500? That's probably a fair 
guess for the basic Riv Kit if you're buying all new from them."

Funny story: I just read this quote I gave, then looked over at my new custom. 
I paid more than $3500 just for a frame!

[Dave Johnston]

The charts above and Jan's data has been combined with some other testing 
and put in a tool here:

https://info.silca.cc/silca-professional-pressure-calculator

Enter your bike weight and tire size and it will give you a recommendation 
that is a good start. add or subtract ~ 10% for a feel you like. I gave 
them my email for the pro version but the basic is good enough.

Hi Joe,
Are those 650b on the green one? Is Riv trying to decide tire size on the 
medium? 

I wonder the designed max tire size. Looking forward to this one for my 
SO... good thing we're same PBH.

[RBW] Re: Let's Get Claudia Lopez an El Clem

[Jason Fuller]

Yeah, it's hard to pin down exact details but that's a pretty solid modern 
XC mountain bike. The members here are extremely knowledgeable about 
certain types of bicycles, but this thread has been kind of funny to read 
as a life-long mountain biker. Obviously, the consensus here would be she 
should be riding a Rivendell because that's literally the name of the game 
here, but outside this very niche bubble, there is a world where a modern 
mountain bike like that has a lot of redeeming qualities that will make it 
more attractive to a lot of riders - such as light weight and high 
performance, at the expense of longevity and simplicity. After all, cycling 
is many things - one of which is sport.  In my opinion, that's as valid as 
any of the others. And I love them all.

[RBW] Re: Let's Get Claudia Lopez an El Clem

[masmojo]

Well, the point of my assertion that there was mud on the tires was simply 
evidence that she rode other more extreme environments than the city streets. 
In fact if you enbiggen the picture there are numerous tip offs that this is 
not a dept. Store bike.
The wheels are REALLY nice, carbon fiber spokes maybe? On closer inspection I'd 
say carbon fiber frame as well. I doubt Bogata is the brand, she's advertising 
her city and Dollars to Donuts that's a custom paint job. My guess is that for 
what that bike cost, she could get a CUSTOM Rivendell.

Re: [RBW] Re: Fancy Cheviot!

[masmojo]

Yes, I was thinking about this the last couple days; if the 55 is 700 wheels I 
might need to size down as well. My 52 Clementine is honestly big, on the upper 
end of my comfort range, if it was a high frame, I'd be iffy on it.

My Atlantis is a 53 with 26" wheels,  but on the new ones I'd need a 50.

I'll have to think on this some more!

Ah, well that's what I get for a quick ride and not knowing anything about the

Update, Leah: You might fit a 50!

Joe,

You know I love the look of your bike and I appreciate the photos you've 
shared.  Cannot wait to see the final build and hear about your maiden ride.

I know you are a car lover from way back; was it conscious or unconscious 
that you choose those colors?

I know the silver was the 55 that Grant built up. They ordered Cheviots in 3 
sizes. So, the green might be the 50 and the orange the 60.

[RBW] Re: Are Riv Sliver shifter + Paul thumibe days over?

[Justin Wyne]

Thanks dougP, I'm familiar with the shifter mount, which look great. But as 
I said, I'm not interested in spending more money on more proprietary 
parts. These are lean times for me with what's going on in the world so I'm 
trying to make what I have work. It was my mistake, forgot that the Riv 
Silver shifters needed adapters.

Michael these are the adapters that I remember

Re: [RBW] Re: Fancy Cheviot!

[Joe Bernard]

Tom, I don't know the size but the saddle was WAY too high for me. I hopped on 
for a quick ride down the driveway before leaving, I didn't bother looking for 
a wrench to set it up. I would have knocked it down to about where you see mine 
on the blue one. But good catch!

Re: [RBW] Re: Fancy Cheviot!

[Joe Bernard]

Doug: Riv lugged MIT frames go for about $1500 so you can extrapolate from 
there same as on, say, a Sam or Appaloosa build. $3500? That's probably a fair 
guess for the basic Riv Kit if you're buying all new from them. 

Ryan: Nope, I'm back in the production camp for Our Bicycle Belle today (I'll 
change my mind again tomorrow). That Cheviot I rode is magic and she'd love it. 
Three prototypes already in action tells me a new Fancy Cheviot is on the 
horizon.

Re: [RBW] Re: Fancy Cheviot!

Joe, what size was the green Fancy Cheviot? If that photo was the same
saddle height, then it looks way smaller than 55 (look at the exposed
seatpost).

Re: [RBW] Need: One dt cable stop thingy

[Joe Bernard]

Thanks everybody, Conway has me hooked up. Don't send any extras that will have 
me chasing a new bike to build around two cable stops!

Ryan, that may happen. I'm not a fan of those aggravating shims I would need to 
make it the lugged one work, but I just liberated the stem on my FJS and 
plopped it on the custom. We'll see!

Re: [RBW] Re: Fancy Cheviot!

[Leah Peterson]

Ryan,

If I could get RBW to take my money I’d have gladly handed it over! Alas, not 
taking pre-order money YET. 

You are right - custom would get me the whole darn kit and caboodle, as they 
say up North. I’ve contemplated both routes - custom, production, custom, 
production, and more than once in this process. And depending upon the future 
(WILL this bike be made?) of the Fancy Cheviot and the timeline (do we get it 
in a few months or 2 years?) I still may change my mind. I can wait a while, 
but if I have to wait as long as the Hillibike folks have been waiting for 
their bikes, no, that’s a deal-breaker and I’ll go custom.

But...the Fancy Cheviot is nearly 100% what I would have made as a custom 
anyway. I don’t care about the fancy lugs much, so it really doesn’t make sense 
to spend the extra money. So, instead of going custom, I could get this Fancy 
Cheviot and then put really fancy parts on it and have it painted red, and 
still come in at less money than I would for a custom. I’m hoping to make the 
Cheviot as elegant as my Clem is goofy. 

So far I’m thinking:
Dyno, the expensive kind. 
Another light and fancy wheelset, tubeless if I like it on my Clem
Possibly a 1x, but we’ll see
Light parts (aluminum Boscos instead of steel, etc)

So, $$$. Better stay with production, unless production isn’t 
happening/severely delayed.

Also, Riv makes more money if you buy their production bikes than if you order 
a custom. Another perk.

[RBW] bike recs for my son

[tuolumne bikes]

Seems like a 5' 8" sixth grader would be spending about two years on his next 
bike. Looking for a particular bike is a pretty likely way to overpay or make 
yourself miserable.

I'd be looking for off-premium sport touring with eyelets for racks. 
Off-premium meaning not a canti touring, or for example, a True Temper (late 
80s) era Trek vs the earlier 531 Treks. My sweet spot would be seven speed 
cassette or better, fat enough tires and a noticeable dent in the top tube that 
won't affect the ride at all. 

If social distancing allows, I suggest a trip to Trips for Kids/The Recyclery 
in San Rafael to look at used bikes. Not the cheapest, but supports charity 
work with inner city kids.

Carl

Tom, you are absolutely right. Grant says the 60 rides superiorly to the 55 and

Grant’s 60 when I visited in 2019, and got too acquainted with that top tube 
when I jumped off that bike. Shudder. Not how a mixte should be! I don’t 
remember actual numbers, but I remember looking at the geometry chart and 
seeing that the 60’s top tube was MUCH higher than 55. Dealbreaker!

[RBW] Re: Fancy Cheviot!

[Tom Wyland]

I think if they end up making the 55cm (aka medium frame) a little "bigger" 
it will help give people a choice of choosing a frame with a lower 
step-through. The recommended sizing for the current Cheviot really pushes 
"medium" candidates to the large frame size.  The large size's step over is 
pretty darn high as I recall.

[RBW] Re: Fancy Cheviot!

[Bicycle Belle Ding Ding!]

One of the things I hoped is that the mixte tube is not, as Roberta calls it, a 
trip-through. As in, let’s get the tube as low as we can. Is it just me seeing 
what I want to see, or does the top tube appear nice and low?

Re: [RBW] Re: Joe's Custom

[Mark Roland]

The reason it looks so modern and fresh is it has the Neutron Posi-flow 
Hypodrive Airshaft System installed, so you don't get all that clutter of 
cranks, derailleurs, chain, pedals, cables, etc. Leave it to Joe to be on 
the Rivendell cutting edge.

[RBW] Re: Need: One dt cable stop thingy

[Nick Payne]

Don't they come in specific lefts and rights? All the ones I have do - at 
least if you want to have the cable entering the stop on the lower side of 
the downtube. I suppose you could put a left stop on the right or vice 
versa, but that would probably lead to the inner cable rubbing on the 
downtube as it wraps around from the top side of the DT to the cable guide 
on the underside of the BB.

[RBW] Need: One dt cable stop thingy

[Joe Bernard]

Now you would think Your Pal Joe - the guy who usually answers arcane small 
parts WTB posts with "oh yeah, I have that in a stash somewhere - would have 
two of those cable stops that go on dt shifters bosses. But alas I have one 
stop and one Problem Solvers cap to set up a 1x drivetrain, which means I sold 
a bike with the OTHER cable stop and cap for a 1x drivetrain. Anybody rocking a 
1x still have your extra stop thingy?
