Visit College Park Bicycle in (where else?), College Park, MD. They are a
long-established shop, eclectic, and used to be a Riv dealer. Have always
been very friendly to me. Have a good trip! Steve

I'm about 78 PBH and I have a 51 Bleriot the I find to be just about
ideal. You might want to look for one of those. They are out there, but a
bit hard to find. I found mine on eBay in 2011. Sorry, mine is not for
sale nor will be for quite some time, I hope! Good luck with your search,
Great story, great observations, Leah. You are such an inspiration to
those around you, and to us here. Than may sound corny, but it's true!

Matt, Congratulations on your new Riv! If I was buying a new one right
now, I would certainly go for the Roadini. I can't comment too much on
your stem issue, lots of folks on here are more expert. I would just say,
don't be necessarily wed to the Noodles. There are lots of drop bars out
Greetings Patrick and everyone, I'm not as much of a coffee enthusiast as
many here, but I'll offer my experiences and observations for what they're
worth.
Grinders: I've been using a Krups $50-$60 burr grinder for many years.
Got the original one from Bloomingdales, that one was replaced
As an (admittedly heavier) alternative to the Pacenti rims, Velo Orange has
their Diagaonale rims on sale for about $45. These are nice looking rims,
I have them on my Bleriot and they have been fine on the road and the
somewhat rough C canal towpath. Cheers, Steve

Well, I probably look mostly like a "Lycra clad", but I'm actually an
"Elderly person cycling as they have always done". On my Bleriot. Go
figure.

With regard to the right chainstay paint damage, why not wrap, twine and
shellac it? My Bleriot came to me from its previous owner that way. This
is purported to be yellow cloth handlebar tape with several coats of red
shellac.

Patrick, I have an SKS Supershort, *missing the chuck*, that's about 6.5"
Also have a cheap Giyo plastic mini, complete, about 9". You can have them
both for shipping cost, if you think you can find a chuck for the SKS. I
see that Riv now sells another SKS mini, but its out of stock. You
That's a great-looking bike and a nice build, Paul. I'm sure you will get
the post-build kinks out in time for the second ride. Enjoy your new Riv!

In an effort to (ahem) lighten my Bleriot a bit, I switched saddles. I'm

Just a note on cutting cable housing: If you already have a Dremel tool,
they work great to cut housing with a standard cutting wheel. Definitely
invest in a real cable cutter if you don't have one. Good luck on your
build!
