My experience is that the clear stick-on plastic chainstay protection lasts
for decades without visible deterioration. My late 90s Riv custom came with
one installed, and it's still in place without visible damage - in fact
it's very hard to see unless you look closely. And on my Bleriot, as
Prefer frameset but OK with a full build.
Thanks,

My Clem came with a single layer of clear material protection. Hard to see but
it is there. Seems inadequate though? That is a long chain & I imagine it might
sag quite a bit at times. In addition the cable running below the stay nearly
hugs the stay. On other bikes I have experience paint
Thanks to a list member I have a pair on the way.
Thanks for heads up on Analog, others must be looking as they sold out
today.

Roberta,
Here's the geometry chart I had buried somewhere in my phone. Effective
toptube 57.5. Do you have a 54 Homer? That bike is 57cm ETT so very close.

This is such a beautiful bike. I’ve always loved the look of clear coated raw
steel. I hope someone gets to give this “new” bike a good home!

Probably pretty similar to a Betty Foy 52 as thats the model that came out
after the Glorius and also used 650B wheels. Rivendell says 70-81 for the
BF in the 52 size.

This one is a stunner. I love the look of the raw steel frames especially
with brass brazing... I don't mind the look of the rusty brown though I
would worry about corrosion and maintenance of course.

It's one of the clearcoat-over-raw frames Riv did in the later '00s. That
gave up on it for exactly the reason you state, the steel starts to rust
under the coat and freaks people out. I briefly owned a Bombadil with this

I found that a single bolt dirt drip stem holds okay, I mounted it on a 4 bolt
stem it felt more secure, yet to be field tested.

Oh Wow! Barn find???
Paint around the head lugs looks a little rough, like some sort of rust

probably nice in 2005...and that dark roast coffee color just screams for
cream accents.

Ryan,
My experience is just like Laing's, the whole chainstay is wrapped and I
didn't notice for months.
What I believe Grant means by "slap guard" is those old timey braze-ons
touring bikes used to have that you would stretch a piece of leather
between. He's not a stickler for paint staying
My 2015 Sam came with a clear protector too that is nearly invisible. When
I wanted something similar for my Surly I purchased one of these Wheels
Manufacturing clear chainstay protectors off eBay. Looks excellent. Now,
the chainstays on the Sam (463 mm and on the Surly 450 mm) are nowhere
You can, or could, get NOS steel chainstay protectors a few years ago on
eBay. I found a couple from a US seller.
The closest thing I found just now on a quick search is this, UK and
aluminum:
My Rivendell Custom came with extensive clear film over the chain stay. It
is basically invisible, didn't know it was there until I was working on it
real close up one day and saw the edge lines. Most of my other Rivendells
came with a single clear piece of film like what they sell. I tried to

It's interesting that on Riv's Custom page they offer a chainstay slap
guard for a $50.00 upcharge...but don't think it's really required.

Looked at my 3 Rivendells...and nope, nothing to see there. I don't recall
this option ever coming up on
Has anyone ever repaired an old old B-17 with a tear in the leather? After

deep within and it tore slightly right where the sit bone
Wow thanks for the heads up about removing paint! I wonder if a heat gun on low

Richard,
As Ben noted, cloth and twine is "bulletproof" chain stay protection. One
caveat though: if you ever decide to remove it, the adhesive quality of
cloth hbar tape has the ability to remove paint (ask me how I know!). Riv
sells these chain stay protectors - currently out of stock - and

Repairs sometimes cost more than new so check first, but I do understand
attachment to old parts.
I had them build me up a Honey B-68 from parts including a chromed B-68
frame that I sent them with a Honey B-67 cover. I call it a B-678
Can anyone recommend an outfit that repairs Brooks saddles? I've got a B17
