['Bikie#4646' via RBW Owners Bunch]

Your bike profile pic is as classic-looking as all get out Bill. Very 
tasty. Question: Is this bike taller then you usual? (I'm trying to recall 
all those...)
If my bro-in-law still lived on the West Coast, I'd consider doing that 
ride, since I have read about it for quite a long time.

Re: [RBW] Re: FS: 58cm Appaloosa Double Top Tube Disc Brake

[Patrick Moore]

Nice. I find disc-brake retro-equipped Rivendells rather interesting; I
know another person retrofitted them to a very nice Atlantis.

Who else has done this, and why?

Me, I like discs for dirt riding tho' they don't add anything for my
pavement riding.

[RBW] FS: 58cm Appaloosa Double Top Tube Disc Brake

[eric swain]

Hey folks,

Some of you may remember I tried selling my Appaloosa back in 2020. Well at 
that time I decided to keep it, change a few parts, and have really enjoyed 
it since then. Fun bike to ride, great set up for commuting, running 
errands, dawdling around the neighborhood, and general bicycle shenanigans. 
Fast forward to present times: my quiver has grown to a ridiculous amount 
of bikes, my personal riding focus has shifted, I have a new bike on the 
way, and I may be moving soon. I do not have room for every bike and with a 
potential move I need scale back on large items, like bikes. So this one is 
back up for sale! 

I am asking $2000 as pictured(minus pedals). Including the Outershell Wald 
137 basket bag, Makeshifter Snackhole stem bag, Zefal frame pump, Paul Gino 
light mount, and King cages. Bike is located in Portland OR. Test rides are 
welcome. Boxing and shipping is no problem. Here is a link to more pics and 
the geo.

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/119mQzJCLMtSAMxge007HSiDUI9lv76W4?usp=sharing

[RBW] Re: 5 Boro Bike Tour (was NYC Riv Ride?)

[Michael Morrissey]

Hi,

My wife and I signed up for the tour and will be there! We even payed an 
extra cost to be in the first wave of riders. I'll be riding my mustard 
colored Appaloosa (I might even rock my tweed saddlebag) and my wife will 
be on her extra-small orange Salsa Vaya. I'll be on the lookout for other 
Rivendell riders other than my main man, Eben 
Weiss: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=as_9Pj_AD3A

Say hi if you see us! 

Michael

[RBW] Re: Soliciting opinions: help me pick the right Rivendell

[Michael Morrissey]

I ride an Appaloosa but if I had to pick another Rivendell I would just 
call it a day and buy a Clem. 

In the car world, people joke that Miata is always the answer, and I feel 
here a Clem is always the answer.

[RBW] Re: Soliciting opinions: help me pick the right Rivendell

[Tim Bantham]

I am a current Sam Hillborne owner. Like Jason Fuller said this is the bike 
that I'd never sell. I love it so much and it does everything that I need 
it to do on both paved and dirt roads. That would be a top pick based on 
your planned use case. I recently expanded my stable of Riv's to include 
both a Platypus and an A. Homer Hilsen. Based on my current offerings the 
Sam is the one I'd reach for if I plan to ride mostly dirt roads. I have 
44's on it which makes it a great gravel bike. Also the chainstays are long 
without being super long making it a very stable descender. I've tried 
every handlebar configuration you can imagine and they all worked great on 
the Sam. I currently have it set up with wide drop bars and a short 5 cm 
stem. It rides great with this set up. 

My Platypus is going to be my all arounder, grocery getter, bike path rider 
and maybe even an s240. My AHH is my dedicated road bike with 38's but I 
wouldn't hesitate to ride it on dirt if given the opportunity. 

I would suggest the Sam.

[RBW] FS: NOS Heron Road frame & fork, 60 cm

[Tom Goodmann]

(Reposting as potential sale was not completed). I'm downsizing ahead of an 
impending move, and selling a never-built 60 cm Heron Road frame and fork 
only (no headset; no bottom bracket). As all of you will know, the bike was 
designed 
by Grant Petersen at Rivendell, and built by Waterford as a collaboration 
with Rona Components, then owned by Ted Durant. The beautiful blue-green 
road frame bears serial number B00055, and was built in February 2000 with 
Reynolds 531 tubing. (For further information, all of the original Heron 
web pages may be found on the Internet). 
  The frame bears only the slightest mark on the inside of one rear 
dropout, probably a sign of having been fitted with a wheel at some point; 
it is otherwise pristine with all decals and the Heron head badge in 
perfect condition. $800, plus shipping and insurance (I'll use a smaller 
than full-size bike box). Questions welcome; thanks for reading.  Tom

Re: [RBW] Re: Packing Cubes

[Robert Blunt]

I am off to the Netherlands this morning to cycle around the Zuiderzee. I
bought the Ortlieb packing cubes and like their design very much. I think
they make taking stuff in and out of touring bags much more manageable.

[Tony Lockhart]

Haha, second reel was awesome. You just got another follower on IG! 

Back on topic..those packing cubes are great. I like to use them for 
multi-country travel trips because they organize contents well. I hadn’t 
thought about using these on the bike—great idea! Thanks for sharing.

[RBW] Re: Soliciting opinions: help me pick the right Rivendell

[Jason Glenn]

Hi, Bud, 

I'm sure this has been posted at some point in the past, but I stumbled 
upon this the other day and thought it might be of interest both to you and 
others on this thread.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yx83uMhIgKA

Otherwise, for what it's worth, I think the suggestions above are great.  
Based on your intended use, I would agree with those who suggest the 
Hilborne.  Don't have one, but had the good fortune to ride one for several 
weeks -- thanks, again, Max! -- and loved it.  If I had to downsize from my 
Homer and my Atlantis to a single bike that would suit the purposes they 
serve for me — long road rides, commutes, on and off road, etc. -- it would 
be my choice.

Best,
jason
