Very groovy looking Hunq, Weth! How big are those tires? Bikie's right.
They mean business!
Cheers, John

Erl, that Hunq looks like it means business! Very nice. Beautiful photos
too.
I've watched you try a number of Rivendells over time, but this one looks
like a keeper.

I'm sorry, what logic are we talking about?
I shove back and sit up for low-cadence, high-torque pedaling, and I move
forward and down when I want to spin fast. My riding includes both extremes
but it also includes the entire middle ground. So again, I don't understand
"logic."
Patrick Moore,
Simon Firth is a super nice guy with a lot of brooks and frame building
experience. That is where I’d send it. He was a Bilenky builder for a
number of years. I believe he is also from London, so you know, he has that
in his corner!
That logic would only make sense if most of your riding exists in either of those two extremes.On Apr 27, 2023, at 9:15 PM, Joe Bernard wrote:I sit upright because I like it and I use really low gears because the hills are steep. On Thursday, April 27, 2023 at 6:08:22 PM UTC-7 Patrick Moore

But has your level of irony also increased proportionally to your
acquisition of Rivendells? *That* is the crucial question.

OTOH: this is puzzling: I see so many Rivendells on this list with very,
very high bars, but with 52 tooth granny cogs; IOW gearing designed for
low-torque fast-cadence twiddling. I don't get it. When I spin I move
forward and down; when I torque I shove back and sit up. What gives?

After years of good service, my Brooks B17 blew out the leather at the
nose. Is there a North American source for repair? Any idea what this costs?

To be fair - after acquiring a real deal Rivendell, I've since become
considerably less interested in other bikes (gasp) as it's the only bike I
want to spend time on. I can understand where he is coming from...

Thanks.

Yes, there are times when I feel (seriously) like converting it to a single
speed. But it's my one derailleur bike and I figure I need at least one of
those.
If I stripped it of fenders, rack, lighting system, and bag I guesstimate
the weight would drop to about 25 lb, not bad for steel and
Hey All,
A (Bridgestone riding) friend and I will likely be making the trek up from
Atlanta for this! Excited to see all the bikes and meet everyone.

Hi y'all,
Thank you for all of your feedback/responses! It's looking like May 27th
has the highest level of availability! We can always adjust specifics
closer to the date, but for now let's keep the morning/afternoon of the
27th open. As a tentative plan, let's meet at Franklin's Cafe across

I did not realize the Matthews had so many gears and cables and things
hanging from its industrial frame. There's your problem.

@ Brendonoid: Wondering if you could not try Centerpulls on your Sam? They
can be mighty effective. You could always braze on posts (I have done this
on my Sam for the record) if the Centerpulls don't do it for you.

Misguided weight weenies, all of you. You want a better workout? Get a
heavier bike.

I am down to 2 bikes: a 2010 Hillborne and an Atlantis MIT. Both are set
up for upright riding with albatross bars. I love them both. Hillborne
has the "toe clap overlip" (clever huh?) that the MIT doesn't. Both have
their merits with the hill borne seeming to be a zippier ride. MIT is a
I was 100% buying a Charlie until the brake change now I am 95% not going
to buy one. I have never had a problem with R559s and have used them on
quite a few bikes but their clearance limitations are the real problem. Wet
weather downhill performance can be weak but it isn't a deal breaker. I
I have a Soma Buena Vista that can run 700c or 650b with the 559s. With
700c braking is excellent with the pad is at the top of the brake slot. On
the 650b braking is fair and the pad is at the very bottom of the slot..
Good enough to West Michigan, but would not even in the hilly parts of
