It's gorgeous. The very first Riv I ever saw live in person was in San 
Francisco and looked just liked that, a yellow/gold/mustard Road or 
LongLow. It's a lot of money but somebody needs to build that frame up and 
ride it.

[RBW] Re: Riv asks: One bike forever, which one?

2022-04-02 Thread Roberta 
My all time favorite Riv of the three I've owned is my A Homer Hilsen, by a 
narrow margin. It’s nearly perfect in every way —fit,size,ride 
quality—except for one thing:  It is not a step though frame.   

As I’m getting tired of throwing my leg over the saddle and I’m now 
commuting to work, I will choose the Platypus if I could only have one 
bike. I love the ride of the Platy, but my only issue with it is that it is 
too long to put on city bus bike rack or Amtrak.   Like many others here, I 
dream of a custom which slightly improves on a favorite ride to make it the 
perfect ride.

[RBW] Re: Ride Report: Hunqapillar on Monumental Loop

2022-04-02 Thread Craig Montgomery 
Hot damn Erl, was this your introduction to the Southwest? Good start...for 
its beauty and because you picked a region that isn't too topographically 
challenged which makes things nicer the first time around.  Haven't toured 
in that specific area but have done a fair amount a few hours to the 
northwest and southwest. It just reeks of history, prehistory, geology, and 
a few other -ologies. Several mammoth kill sites dating back over 10,000 
years in that area. And the night skies...holey moley...the Milky Way woke 
me up one morning about 3:30 it was so bright.  You could spend years just 
reading about that country and years riding it. Your Hunq is/was more than 
adequate for a ride like that. And after 40 years down here I found that 
tubeless has never been a "necessity". 

Thanks for some great photos.

[RBW] Re: Ride Report: Hunqapillar on Monumental Loop

2022-04-02 Thread WETH 
Hi all,
Thanks for the positive responses.  It was truly an amazing trip.  I'll 
attempt to answer everyone's questions and comments in this one post.

Doug,
Yes, I loved having the kickstand.  Although, I did joke about the extra 
weight on a few occasions! ;)

John, 
stopping in Hatch was a treat and a delicious one at that.

Patrick, 
Desert Solitaire is a favorite book which I reread every few years.

Brad, 
the AWC merchandise is just high quality! :) 
The closet bed was my room at the B that served as a homebase.  It was 
cozy. We averaged about 7.5 mph so I guess we were riding/hiking for about 
6-7 hours a day.  We'd go to sleep at sunset which was about 8pm and be up 
about 7am and on the road between 8 and 9 am.  The route on bikepacking.com 
has cattle tanks and restaurants well marked so we only had to carry enough 
water to cover those distances.  I think we tried to have 4 liters each to 
get us between most points.  I carried coffee and oatmeal for breakfast 
along with snacks for days when we were not in a town for lunch and/or 
dinner.

John,
The loop is not friendly to tires with tubes.  I had a tubeless wheelset 
built for this trip and other trips I hope will follow.  I picked up lots 
of goatheads, but I never saw evidence of leaked sealant.  The 
bikepacking.com description states that tubeless is a necessity.  We both 
ran tubeless and had no issues.

Jason - I knew you’d choose the Hillborne. I know it’s your #1 but most would 
guess the Bombadil because I think it gets most of your miles! 

Joyce - I would love Clementine decals. 

Joe - Oh, you flatter me. I think you came up with a dropped tube aside from my 
input but I do stand by mixtes as #1 best bike ever. You just can’t regret a 
mixte. #toptubeswhoneedsem

I love the photos you all are sending. Thanks for contributing! And keep ‘em 
coming.

Re: [RBW] Re: Riv asks: One bike forever, which one?

2022-04-02 Thread Matt Beecher 
This would be a tough call, but as I get older, the Saluki gets more 
comfortable.   I imagine the Atlantis would hold up better to wear and 
tear.  I imagine the Saluki would win amongst the two, since it can do all 
that I ask of the Atlantis and it weighs a fair bit less.  If I were a 
younger man, I might opt for the Atlantis. 

Thankfully, I don't have to choose to keep only one.  

Best regards,
Matt in Oswego, IL

This is such a tough choice! I love both Clem and Platypus, but if I could 
have only one, it would be my mermaid Platy because it is elegant, agile 
and tough enough.  

Speaking of Clems, I was disappointed mine didn’t come with the Clementine 
name sticker.  When I called to see if I could get me, no luck.  I think we 
should start a campaign to make them available so we can properly name our 
Clementines.  Mine is dark green so the pink name sticker would look great

 If you follow Rivendell on Instagram, they asked their followers a fun 
 question yesterday: 

 You get one bike for the rest of your life - what frame material, and 
 what style - mixte or normal? 

 Attached is a screenshot of Grant’s quote and Betsy Streeter’s art. 

 What a question! The frame material and style is easy - I love a 
 Rivendell steel mixte, but only one? In the end, my #1 is my raspberry 
 Platypus, but I’d cry real tears if parted from my Clem L or my shopping 
 Platypus. Up until 2020 I was a one bike gal, but I am really savoring 
 having a trio of bikes set up for different enjoyments. I chose the 
 raspberry mixte as my One Bike Forever because it’s the most beautiful, 
 does whatever I want it to, and has heaps of sentimental value. 

 What would be your One Bike Forever? Do you have that bike or is it a 
 dream bike? Do you have a photo?

Re: [RBW] Clem chain/fender interference

2022-04-02 Thread Jay Lonner 
>From the Riv website for SKS fenders:

Most of the time these fenders fit without modification, but sometimes the fit 
is imperfect and they need home-surgery to clear a front derailer or chainstay 
or seatstay. Use side-cutters or snips of some sort to cut away the 
interferering plastic, then dremel or hand file the rough edge smooth. Add 
tough tape to cover it or leave it raw.

[RBW] Re: Riv asks: One bike forever, which one?

2022-04-02 Thread Jason Fuller 
The expected answer from me, of the bikes I own, would be the Bombadil - 
but I'm not so sure I can say that confidently. It has the versatility and 
tire clearance to be a one-bike, even for my high varied riding (from 
brevets to mountain bike trails), but I like how the Hillborne rides more!  
The Hillborne also has a little more TT clearance for me, which may become 
a bigger deal over time, and it's still stout enough for me to carry a full 
camping load. Only downside is the tire size limitation... Ideally I'd get 
a custom that is basically a Hillborne that fits 48's with fenders, but 
that would be hard to justify ... mind you, think of all the money I'd save 
selling four of my five bikes haha!

[RBW] Clem chain/fender interference

2022-04-02 Thread Jim Bronson 
One of my big regrets of my Clem is not paying Riv the $40 or $50 they
wanted to install the fenders.  Instead, they just arrived in the box.
After a particularly cold rainy ride a couple of years ago, I finally
installed them.

Now it seems I cannot adjust out the tendency of the chain to rub the
fender.  They've always rubbed when I use the 34 in the back and the next
lowest gear as well.  After the bike's only trip ever to the shop this
month to diagnose a dragging freehub which has since been replaced, the
chain is rubbing worse than ever in the lower gears, and the front small
ring is about impossible.

I'm feeling like I want to take my Dremel to the fender and trim back a
quarter inch or so.

How does Riv install these fenders?  Surely they don't send them out with
this kind of interference.

Noisy Clem Owner

RivSisters, YES. I so agree. A custom Clem with the name Clementine in 
pale, sparkly/pearlescent pink would be a DREAMY thing. Rivendell - are you 
listening? Can we do a special run of these? And yes, Sofia, since the

swappable parts below, which could be negotiated as part of a handlebar 
purchase.

Swappable components for current cockpit (not selling separately), 
including estimated price difference from the setup in my original post:

   - Tektro R200 (short pull) brake lever (*silver*) +$0
   - Tektro RX 2.0 in-line cross levers (*silver*) +$0
   - Tektro RL520 (*long-pull*) brake lever (black) +$0
   - Paul Components Cross in-line lever (black, 31.8) +$50

Re: [RBW] Re: Riv asks: One bike forever, which one?

2022-04-02 Thread George Schick 
Given that qualifier, I'd have to say after doing a fingers and toes count 
of every bike I've ever owned, starting with a 24" Schwinn cantilever 
framed bike back in the mid-50's, that the diamond framed steel Rambouillet 
is not only the bike I'd like to have for the rest of my life (and plan 
to), but *the* bike I wish I would have had all along during the past 50 or 
so years of "serious" cycling.  'Course, I've never owned any other frame 
styles that fall into the mixte or step-through categories and it may well 
happen that I'll eventually become too old and decrepit to be able to throw 
my leg over the top tube of a diamond frame and will need to get a mixte or 
step-through of some kind, something with which I will have no problem.  
Maybe I'll just ride my wife's Breezer Uptown.

I think Grant, in his casual manner of speaking, means “typical.” And I take 
that to refer to diamond frame.

I might say that no one has worked harder to make mixtes/step-through frames 
acceptable to men than Rivendell. Erasing the Clem H and only offering that 
model in the L version was huge. And now I see men of all ages riding Clem Ls 
and the connotation to “girl bike” is fading.
