Re: [RBW] Re: Being Precious About Your Favorite Bike

Leah, I find personally, as a 61 year old woman, that if I lift my Cheviot with the stem in my right hand, then reach over the bike and grasp the middle seat stay in my left hand, at about fender level, the center of gravity seems more balanced front to rear, and I can lift it more easily. I

Andy, can you specify if it was issue 74 or 75? Both have listed articles that might fit the topic and 74 sounds more likely, but it wasn't the last issue. I subscribed to BQ for several years but as the magazine became less about bikes and more about Jan's rides, I lost interest. I'll

I've said many times that I wish my Hunqapillar was tig welded, powder coated a single neutral color and half the price. Colored head-tubes and splashy decals aren't my thing and are something I have to tolerate since nobody else* makes what I want in a bike. I do like the attention to

For the folks who managed to get an Appaloosa yesterday (or through the dealers earlier), what type of build ideas are you thinking of? I got a 60 cm Mermaid and planning to have it built as an all-rounder with 80-90% pavement usage. On Wednesday, June 16, 2021 at 2:56:25 PM UTC-7 Andrew

Re: [RBW] Re: Charlie H Gallop!

There have indeed been some cool collaboration frames, though I feel like they all suffer from the same sales-related issue as Rivs themselves often have: they're ahead of their time. Rivendells from 5 or 10 years ago would fly off the shelves today compared to their sales at the time, because

Re: [RBW] Re: Charlie H Gallop!

Grant has designed more than a few bikes for other companies. The one I can think of off the top of my head is the Brooklyn Bike Company Driggs. But I know what you’re saying…there’s something about that Rivendell name on the bike. Funny enough, I recall that back in 1994 or so, when I bought my

Re: [RBW] Re: Charlie H Gallop!

If I was Riv President for a day, I would ponder if adding a lower-cost all-rounder bike would cut into sales of the other models. Clem and Roadini (tigged lower-cost frames) are on the rough terrain and road ends of the spectrum. The premium equivalents are the Hillibikes and AHH. All of

My plan for retirement is an AWD Chrysler Pacifica. The middle and rear seats all fold into the floor - so it is the equivalent of a cargo van with the just the two front seats if needed. Or the number of needed seats can be raised from the floor. kind of a larger version of the Element.

Re: [RBW] Re: Charlie H Gallop!

Been a good while since an update, so here is a bad one: the ETA on Charlies was pushed from Jan 2022 to "on hold indefinitely". Just no room in the production schedule / material procurement to make a new model happen in the scheduled future. This is per James at Riv - sounds highly likely
