nice in-person.

Brian, FWIW (not much, especially since this thread is about the Massive
Mountain Mixte) - but I think there were teens of the mediums made. They
ended up doing two runs of them, and one of them was at least 10 bikes. So
they're less scarce, but only slightly. The mediums used Appaloosa forks.
Wow, my last few posts have been full of typos. Maybe I need to go dormant
again for a while… but I had to at least acknowledge my blatant repeat
offense at misspelling ROSCO as Roscoe. The backwards 3 in the Bubbe part
seems to have become ingrained enough in my mind that I falsely attribute
it
Thanks, Leah, for the heads up for the long legged of us who happen to be
non-facebook-users! That is certainly Will’s Mega Roscoe MTN Mixte and I
think made in the single digits (I guess all sizes of the Roscoe Mixte were
down in single digits but can’t remember.). This size MTN Mixte was based
Lovely! Thanks Masa

Yeah, I just laced up my first wheel yesterday using the Jim Langley video
and Sheldon Brown's website. The video helped me with some small things
like how to hold spokes and nipples to make it smoother and using a spare
spoke to hold the nipples when attaching them.
I'll see how things go
This is funny. I mostly ride a fixed gear road bike, but this thread has me
thinking about a SS FW road bike. I could use a tensioner for that kind of
build, which would open up a lot of interesting frames to think about.
I could finally flip over one of my flip/flop wheels and give it a try, I
On my Quickbeam there is a fixed 18 cog that I use all the time and on the
other side is a fixed 16 that I never use. So as long as I can get it off
the hub, I'll try one of the SS freewheels that I have. Should be able to
work on it over the Christmas break.

I really aesthetically enjoy the rosco bubbe. It's too bad it was such a
short lived frame set. That XL is a good looking bike.

I’m a big fan of riding fixed. It just feels good to me, but I’m not an
evangelist: “more for me, I guess!” I like having a second gear option (two
rings, dingle cog), but almost never use the low gear.
Will’s Roadini is like a Golden Age tribute bike. I love it. Now I kinda
want one, but I’ll go
It's a different ride, and a fun ride, to have a single speed. I have a Dos
Eno on my QuickBeam, but still stay primarily on the 15 tooth sprocket. The
17 comes into play for East Bay hills, but I rode (with camping gear) in
the 15 from Berkeley to the Entmoot in Marin via San Francisco and

I think the wheelset alone makes it semi reasonable. Having a frame/fork
built will be a small fortune with no guarantee they will nail the usual
Riv magic!

One of the best Rivs ever. My wife has the medium, but it was a $900 ish
frame new. You could just have a builder clone it (or a small run of
frames) for under $3k.

There’s a post on the Facebook Rivendell buy/sell/trade group that has a
Rosco with the lift-a-tube shown for sale. I can’t seem to post the link
here - will try in a second post. It’s $$$ at 3k, but I know people go
crazy for these for some reason, so heads up and maybe a Merry Christmas
I know it’s a long shot and I have saved EBay searches but if anyone has a
Toyo built Atlantis in 54.5 or 56. I’d love to talk to you about buying it
