[RBW] Re: Rapid rise polarizing

[Joe Bernard]

I had one for a short while and found it finicky to install and 
counterintuitive to shift. I'm sure both of these reactions are based on 
decades of high-normal derailers, I think RapidRise is probably better for 
new riders who've never messed with the other way.

[RBW] Rapid rise polarizing

[sam . perez . 2002]

Hey guys,
Why is there so little info on rapid rise RD and why is it so polarizing. 
Sources include bike snob grants blog and random internet sources. Takeaways 
were finicky and needing frequent adjustment but also great concept and easy 
down shifting. Any experience thoughts insights?  

Thanks

Re: [RBW] Rivet Sonora: Trying it on the Platypus

[Leah Peterson]

Lol, Doug. Yes, you’re onto something. 

I took a slight departure from that rabbit hole (the tinkering hole) and 
plunged into a different one (the new bike hole). I LOVE the Platy as it’s 
currently set up. I don’t think I’ll change it. I’ve discovered that dyno wires 
and light mounts make that very difficult. Instead of tinkering with the 
near-perfect Platypus, I’m adding a new bike and setting it up for different 
purposes. The raspberry bike will remain my main squeeze, used for pleasure, 
exercise, and light errands.

 I guess I’m going to be Three Bike Leah. In building that bike, I was in 
 need of a saddle. I decided to try a new saddle on my raspberry dream 
 bike, and then move along the Platy saddle (a lovely B17 Select) to the 
 new bike. I have heard a lot of good press about Rivet. I began looking 
 over their offerings and decided to email the company to ask a couple of 
 questions. The owner, Debra Banks, emailed me back very quickly. She 
 answered my questions, so I decided to try the beautiful ivory Sonora. The 
 Sonora arrived today and, quicker than a jackrabbit on a date, I installed 
 on the Platypus. It really looks fantastic. 
 
 I got the one with a cutout. I have never had a cutout, don’t know if I 
 need a cutout. The nose is shorter and the rails are longer, and so far 
 (I’ve ridden it a few miles today) it would seem to be perfect. Will there 
 be patina that wears away the white paint in the leather? Yes. Am I a 
 priss about that? No. I like patina.
 
 I will rack up some miles and report back in case anyone else was 
 considering a Rivet. Might take me awhile since Vegas is hotter than Hades…

[RBW] Re: $1800 a fair price for a 53cm Susie? 2-piece silver crankset included

[Joe Bernard]

Yes and Riv timelines were meaningless *before *a worldwide frames/parts 
shortage during a bike boom. If you see a used Riv you like and you can 
possibly justify the price, *buy it. *

[RBW] Re: $1800 a fair price for a 53cm Susie? 2-piece silver crankset included

[Jason Fuller]

Supposedly, a new batch is coming late this year so I would factor that in 
if there's any concern about its used-ness, but if it's a local pickup (ie 
no shipping on top of that cost), a 'free' Silver 2pc crankset for the 
price of a new frameset would be alright by my COVID boom-adjusted 
standards!

[RBW] Re: [pictures] Just built up my orange Susie

[Paul Choi]

Ash, love your bike. I remember when we took a ride together, you had a 
green appaloosa then. Caltrain is still a ghost town. I have been on 
Caltrain with my bike everyday for the past three months. 

Cheers

Just as I thought the Raspberry Platy was as perfect as it could be, this 
makes it even better. Hope you love the saddle! Ive always heard good

[RBW] Re: $1800 a fair price for a 53cm Susie? 2-piece silver crankset included

[Joe Bernard]

There's a Susie and Cheviot on SF Bay Craigslist that are probably 
optimistically priced, but a complete 45cm Clem L listed at $1600 is gone. 
I'll bet they got at or near asking price, which is about what a new one 
costs.

Probably where the market is for the Gus + Susie right now: long production 
schedule, new Riv model so not a big used market, no real comparable 
designs so hard to find an alternative, and the people who have them tend 
to hold onto them. Maybe ask the seller if they could include other parts

[RBW] Re: $1800 a fair price for a 53cm Susie? 2-piece silver crankset included

[Joe Bernard]

A year ago I would have balked but now? The worldwide bike/parts shortage 
has created an insane market which has dramatically affected used Riv 
prices, most of which are unavailable new from them right now. So yeah, if 
the frame isn't all scratched to heck it's fair. Someone will pay that.

[RBW] WTB: Rivendell Readers 43 & 44

[Eric Marth]

Seeking physical, printed copies of the last two Rivendell Readers: 43 & 
44. I somehow overlooked these and I ain't got 'em. 

If you have and would be willing to part with them please let me know. 

Thanks to all who have contacted and aided in my quest to collect Readers, 
catalogs and other ephemera!

[RBW] Re: $1800 a fair price for a 53cm Susie? 2-piece silver crankset included

[Brewster Fong]

Is this for an entire bike or a frameset with bb, headset and crankset?  If 
the latter, I would say it is a bit high as you can find plenty of used 
framesets for less.  Of course, YMMV! Good Luck!

[RBW] $1800 a fair price for a 53cm Susie? 2-piece silver crankset included

[Justin Kennedy (Brooklyn, NY)]

A friend is considering buying a used 53cm orange Susie, including bb, 
headset, and 2-piece Silver crank 
.
 
It's def been ridden hard but in good condition. He seems to be balking at 
the price but I think it's a fair ask, considering the size and color are 
most in-demand and difficult to source and it includes bb and crank. What 
do you think?
