[RBW] Re: The do-it-all Rivendell of choice

I nominate my 650b Hunqapillar. It's the most comfortable bike I've ridden, and it's geometry doesn't seem to be intended for drops, flat, or upright handlebars--it feels different but good with each. On Thursday, November 17, 2022 at 6:35:43 AM UTC-6 Chris L wrote: > [image:

Good thread. I'm a 2TTer. I learned about Riv ~2010 through ecovelo which has a presence again on Instagram and cyclofiend. My first Rivendell I bought was a 2TT Sam I got new for sub $1000, but I lusted after a Hunqapillar first because of the grey bean paint but especially after riding

James, I have a Blackburn Ex-2 Expedition rear rack that is barely used and probably hasn't been on a bike in a decade. Make me an offer shipped from Chicagoland. I will use pirate ship, so it should not be more than $15 to ship. On Sunday, October 9, 2022 at 7:19:29 PM UTC-5 James wrote:

[RBW] FS: Rivendell Brand V Handlebar Bag

All, I had this bag with me when I visited Riv HQ and the staff was gushing over it. I think this was my first Rivendell item ever, and it was my primary bag for many years starting in 2012 hence the wear. The strap that goes around the head tube came off long ago but I still have it as well

I'm moving to a 31.8 faceplate stem and v brake ecosystem across all of my bikes for universal compatibility, so I have the following up for grabs: Crust x Nitto UI 12 Quill Stem with 26.0 clamp $75 Nitto UI 12 Quill Stem with 10 cm extension and 31.8 clamp $70 Crust x Nitto Shaka handlebar

Re: [RBW] WTB Nitto Dirt Drop Stem, preferably 26.0 and 100mm

I have 10 cm one I'd probably sell. It was on my Sam Hillborne and has lots of miles on it, but I am switching to the faceplate ecosystem. With that said, it's going to be a PITA to disassemble. On Sunday, September 4, 2022 at 4:25:16 PM UTC-5 Garth wrote: > Ben's is always good for some
