A 105 can usually handle a 30-tooth cog, but 32 is pushing your luck. Like
others have said, you need to put a proper MTB derailer on to eliminate the
105 as the culprit, then see if there's still a shifting problem. And yes,

I'd love to score a Bleriot, for completely shallow reasons: It's my
favorite Riv name/graphics package. I don't know the story of them
being pulled from the market, and didn't realize they disappeared
quickly (I was in recumbent world the last three years).
About the mythical Legolas: I was at
rider who upgraded to XT. It's painted silver..I think Riv
stocks it now.

This reminds me of the Whatcha got? threads on the Alex-era iBob
list.
Four:
2010 Greenspeed GT3: Recumbent tadpole trike.
1990 Bstone CB-Zip: My first exposure to Bridgestone was this model in
the 1991 Bicycling Buyer's Guide..finally got one. My black V-O cafe
racer. V-O Porteur bars, stem
- Vince here calls it Hyper-Speed -
I love it..it reminds of those '80s Bstones that said for the super
competitor- or something like that - on the frame. I think Grant
should keep the name: HS in big letters, underlined with Hyper-
Speed for a Head Start.

Fairfield,
While we're on the subject of guessing what the new Rivendell is, I'd
like to offer up my own gosh, I wish they would do this bike.
I'd like a 26-inch-wheel City Bike with an IGH, dynohub, and drum
brakes. Preferably butterscotch color.

stood for New Bike or No Brainer, as in no-

The price for a plain gauge project is a little high, in my opinion.

riv content: this bike has schwalbe marathons and cheapie thumb levers
Yep, that's my question, too. The easiest double-shift I've ever done
is riding the hoods, then quickly dropping both hands to the bar-ends,
snapping off that shift, then back to the hoods.

That's a lovely bike, Geoff. The colors and the bullmoose bars look AMAZING.
I want one!

the top of the bar. I didn't like the unstable feel of the levers
so close to the centerline of the bike, so mostly transitioned to the hoods
for braking. A waste of money/clutter/extra weight for me.

Yes, Geoff, 30 miles and one decimated credit card away! I'm purposely
*not*driving there 'cause there's no way I leave without one. ;-)

My opinion is a shallow one: I think the paint job on the Hunqapillar is the
most beautiful combo Rivendell has produced. Get the pretty one, save 500
bucks.

In my size they're both 26-inch wheel bikes, and my favorite Rivs. I'd take
the Hunqapillar simply because I love the color. The price drop is nice,
too, but wouldn't be the decider.
