Hey Juan Pablo, that's a nice bike! While road levers are nominally for
bigger bars, they use a band clamp that will snug down tight enough on
22.2. I did it with Tiagra levers on a flipped Albatross once and it worked

I’m not sure if the size refers to the pre-shrink or post-shrunk
measurements, because if you looking around at the other items, even the
ones not expected to shrink (like the polyesters), the sizes are all the
same. So it’s likely the latter than the former.
I’m really just asking if the
Yes, Coco, what Roberta said! We’d love to know what you found - color and some
photos and all that good stuff! I thought you’d have a difficult time finding a

Joe P - I expect you're right. I bought an XO-1 and a Sam last year and the
XO-1 didn't last long because despite being a great bike worthy of its
accolades, it's well overshadowed by the Hillborne. It's maybe a bit less
zippy, but the small concession there is paid back tenfold in ride quality.
It's a revelation! I too had one bike for nearly 30 years. Then I bought
a Riv. Then another.
Start saving your money because you'll start smiling like you never have

Hey Harth,
Welcome to the group! Much enjoyed reading your/All-rounder's riding
history. With all those dents and scratches in the right places, I'd say
the All-rounder has aged gracefully. Or maybe battle-hardened would the
right term :) The partnership is nearing a quarter century!
Sam,
Be careful, remember its a 4mm radius when replacing 700c with 27 1/4"
(American size from the 10 spd craze in the 70's.) Going the other way
placing 700c wheels on a 27 1/4" frame is no problem, use a brake with
greater reach. BUT WHY?

What handlebar bag are you using? I've never worried much about cable rub,
I actually like that a centerpull (or canti) brake puts a cable through the
center so it acts as a block to keep the bag off the headtube.

Hey Dan, is the sizing correct? Their small has a chest size of 42.25",
which is 21" pit-to-pit and definitely a little large for a small. Is that
the "Riv fit" you're talking about?
