Liz,
Your story is so exciting. You've happily ridden a fabulous bike for 15
years and now it's time for a change up. Isn't the Clem L marvelous? I've
only ridden one for a short ride or two, but it was smooth, like a
Cadillac. I know it's "heavy" but it sure doesn't ride heavy. I have a
The last Clem on that list is mine. Its a 52. I have bike ADD.

Even so, I'm guessing the odds of it becoming a garage queen are about as
remote as some of the Vancouver backcountry huts that we'll be seeing it
leaned up against in future pics. Hope you remembered to get touch-up

Liz, congratulations on your Clem! May you have many pleasurable miles
whether for exercise, utility or leisure. I'm another one of those 2-bike
RivSisters. I got a used Clem first and then the Platy a couple of years
later; I love them both for many of the reasons Leah has explained. I
Dear Liz,
I really cannot overemphasize how delighted I am to read your note.
Congratulations on a long track record of faithfully commuting on your
Atlantis. You are an example to us, #RivSister! Also, congratulations on your
retirement - may you have even more happy miles to fill the days.
I noticed it last night, as well as DG and LO in XL still available.
Get 'em while you can folks!

So happy to have more and more women riding Rivendell bikes. Kudos to Leah
and the many previous original Riv riders who have ridden and posted so
many great pictures and stories about biking. I found Riv because they
made bikes large enough for me; but now I am proud to ride beautiful bikes
Has anyone noticed the large Dark Gold Susie that is back on the Riv site
for sale? As fast as they went it seems crazy it hasn’t sold unless nobody
has checked! Already got mine :)

At the risk of derailing the topic (pun semi-intended) the lack of IGH
support on Rivs has become an issue for me. I had a Gus in my cart when
they went on sale recently - my size, my color - but ultimately didn’t go
through with it because I really like the Rohloff that I have on my Bike

Hey y'all I finished a beautiful XO-3 and went with a dirt drop setup with
bar ends. Only thing is my dirt drops are the remakes which are 31.8 clamp.
So I got the Crust quill stem but its only a 60mm stem and the reach is
very short now. I need an 85mm or 110mm.
I love the style of your bike, Arthur. Which of the VO rims are you using
on the bike? If you built the wheels yourself, what do you think of the
build properties of the rims?
Best Wishes,
Patrick

Hmmm, I just finally put together a 57 Bleriot. It was pretty beat up when
I got it.
What don't you like about the Atlantis? It's unlikely I'd want to part with
it, but maybe?
Send pics of the Atlantis, I'll post some of the Bleriot later today.

Downtube shifters are fine, but the main drawback as others have said is
the reach. Definitely great if you're frequently changing out your cockpit.
However, you just can't beat the accessibility of bar end shifters,
especially if your bike is loaded. As for front end clutter, I'm a fan of

I love the idea of downtube shifters; simplicity, good looks, easy packing,
disassembly, and repair, etc. However, as soon as I'm off road, bar-end

Sounds as though the Bombadil might be doing a stint in rehab??? Looking
forward to seeing the eventual unveiling, which we know will be beautifully

The line of logic, as I understand it, is according to Paul, the
'Neo-Retro' brakes are more powerful, yet pose heel clearance issues when
used in the rear, so are most often relegated to the front where the bulk
of stopping power is needed while their 'Touring' cantis fit better in the
rear.
