Good eye, Willet. Of course one of the selling points Riv promotes about steel frames is they can be repaired so it doesn't mean this is a bad bike, but all that hullabaloo in the Craigslist copy should probably mention the history. Me-thinks! On Sunday, December 4, 2022 at 9:49:17 PM UTC-8

The CL bike does appear to be missing paint on the inside of the non-drive seatstay just below the middle rack braze-on, which is the same location as the damage and missing paint of Matthew's Appaloosa. That would be the clincher for me even more than some of the parts in common, which I

Since neither fit then yeah, just replace them. Those Shimano downtube shift cable stops are fine, there are other brands as well. Dia Compe, IRD and Dajia also make some. As I found out in removing them after 15 years, apply a thin layer of anti-seize compound to the boss, if you have some on

I did not have the cable installed. I just manually grabbed the cage and I did have the limit screws open. By my eye it didn’t reach the big ring. But if I’m using too wide of a BB then that probably explains it. I’ve ordered a 113mm width. I did not realize the 118mm BB referred to Silver cranks

Jacob, by "not having enough throw" is that hooked up with a cable or not ? If it's with a cable then it's obviously a cable adjustment issue, but really whenever a derailleur capacity is in question it's best to simply do it without a cable and manually see how much it can travel with the

Brass ferrules are made in both 5mm and 4mm Max, and yours is likely 5mm and the boss is 4mm. There are step down ferrules that would work. Unless you have a local source it may be easy-er to just replace them with a 5mm boss if keeping the brass appearance is that big of deal. On Sunday,
