It’s a great bike. I got mine as a second bike for my office rides but it is now my favorite. Light (ish) and sprightly. Roberta On Tuesday, December 22, 2020 at 12:40:47 PM UTC-5 Robert Blunt wrote: > Greetings everyone, > I am looking for a 54.5 Homer frame if anyone is looking to move

I have a 16 speed She Devil for my in town lock up, 38 mm marathon ( supremes I believe) tires with sks fenders. It’s a quality bike at a decent price. I did change the front flat stem to one with a rise. I had looked ( in person) at the other brands and she Devil seemed more sophisticated and

That's dynamite news for you long-leggers! Start planning your builds! If anybody wants to go uber-traditional I have a NIB Dura Ace Track hub, 32 hole, for $90. If you want to go strictly fixed, there may be no classier hub. Bill Lindsay El Cerrito, CA On Tuesday, December 22, 2020 at

Re: [RBW] Re: ROADUNO - a new singlespeed!

Bad news. I asked and they said they were cancelling all but the smallest of the singlespeeds because of my incessant badgering. Sorry 61ers, Sorry 57ers. Sorry 59ers, Sorry 57.75ers. No singlespeeds for anybody over 5'4"... -Kai JUST KIDDING!! There's already a 64 planned, and with a 6%

Re: [RBW] Re: Is there a Riv-like three speed currently in production?

I presume you mean a cassette broken down into 3 cogs. I've never seen it done, presumably because nobody is going to keep a rear derailer and cassette but make the cassette less useful. But if that's your thing, party on!  On Tuesday, December 22, 2020 at 5:43:35 PM UTC-8 Patrick Moore

Welcome, Phillip! I can't speak to a Joe or AHH, I'm sure both would be great choices, but for me, the Sam has been a blast to ride on just about everything except hiking trails. A big difference between the Sam and the AHH is canti-posts. Maybe explore the various Rivendell builds at

Patrick, how would you get 3 shiftable cogs on the back? What I did with my Cheviot was put a singleator kit on the rear and kept two rings up front, I can't picture how your reversed idea would work.* *Of course I also can't picture pulling, say, a 9-speed cassette to replace with 3, but

Re: [RBW] Re: Is there a Riv-like three speed currently in production?

Thanks everyone, there are some great ideas in this thread. The Brooklyn bikes and Handsome cycles seem like a step up in quality (from afar, anyway) from my old Linus, but are really reasonable. The Pashley certainly seems, as noted, like the most Rivendell equivalent of the bunch, short of a

Re: [RBW] Re: Is there a Riv-like three speed currently in production?

Hey Brett- Glad to see that you are interested in re-introducing a three speed to the stable! There have been some good suggestions so far. Most of the obvious ground has been tread. There are plenty of more budget modern options like the Linus and the Public you had. But if you weren't

Re: [RBW] Re: Is there a Riv-like three speed currently in production?

Here's hoping the Roaduno would work. I love having the QB running the three speed. I found a 120 spaced AW hub and a friend helped me make some non-rotation tugs. https://flic.kr/p/2jURZfQ https://flic.kr/p/cScyTj On Tuesday, December 22, 2020 at 1:09:29 PM UTC-5 Tom Wyland wrote: >

I'm surprised that there are so many at least halfway decent 3 speed road and city type bikes on the market; I thought 3 speeds were largely cheap, $350 imports from China (though even these look good for the money). Those of you who own road bike-type 3 speeds (I mean set up to ride a bit faster

I'm curious about the quality of the Handsome Cycles frames: welds, paint, amount of prep needed. I'm sure it's not up to Rivendell standards, maybe more like a Soma? I really like my Roadini and am in the market for a mixte. The Platypus checks most of my boxes but I want an in-town bike. I

As a fellow Clem fiend, I can definitely say that at least $3287 went into this bike. I paid $925 (including tax) for my H from Silva Cycles in San Jose, then about $2500 (including tax) building it up (Dyno hubs, nice tires, etc.). One of the reasons I feel justified in buying Rivs is that
