Hello all, I'm new here. As for my Riv cred, I commute on an early
Road Standard.
I have been using Blackburn water bottle cages on my bikes for the
last few years because I like their classic look, and the fact that
you can easily secure them to a bike without braze-ons. However, I
have bent two
Those Arundel cages look pretty nice, but it looks like I'd have to
use a bottle with the indentation - whereas the King Iris might allow
me to use a taller cylindrical stainless steel bottle, like the bigger
Kleen Kanteens. I think I'll check one of those out. Thanks, all!
And wow, I could have
I'd like to try some mustache handlebars on my mountain bike. Drop me
a line to let me know what you have and how much you'd like. I'll try
to get back to you this weekend. Thanks.

My front brake cable was holding me back. When I swapped out the
short, long-reach stem that came on my secondhand Road Standard for a
tall, short-reach stem - I didn't change any cables. I realized after
about a year on the bike that I had apparently wrapped my bars
backward (the tape was
Looking for a used quill stem - the more scratches, the better. Let me
know what you have. Thanks!

I wanted to run wider tires on my Rivendell Road Standard, but 700c x
28 was the max with fenders and brake clearance. After a long
conversation with Grant Peterson, he mentioned that Rivendell had some
609 rims made - just a bit smaller than the 700c (622) rims. I ordered
a set of rims and tires
Bruce - that's a great looking build! Good to know that 650b may
indeed be an option if I want to go even wider. Which brakes did you
use? Any issues with pedal strike?
Matt Mike - the tires were available from Rivendell. They are a
hearty commuter type tire.

My 59cm Rivendell Road Standard, I have finally decided, is too small for
me. It has been a fabulous bike for me; but it is what it is — a road bike,
when really, I've wanted a touring bike.
Here are some photos, with the newest toward the bottom:
To be more specific - the fit issue I don't like is the long top-tube. It's
60cm, and even with a short-reach, tall stem, I still feel too stretched
out on the bike. Another anomaly with this bike is that I've never been
able to locate a serial number. The only thing stamped on the BB shell is
With everyone's input, I think I will put the Riv back in fighting trim -
that is to say, 700c wheels again, no fenders - and keep it as a road bike
for now. In the meantime, I'll still be dreaming about touring bikes with
short top tubes, and I may pass on my 609 wheels or rims to the next
My 609 wheels and tires are available...

No sway is encouraging - I may try this!
Should I worry about the longevity of the leather straps?
How did you manage to keep the straps from sliding down the rails?

Ah, OK! They stay there by virtue of the closest matched distance.
That makes sense. Thanks!

It has been suggested to me to stear clear of the Steco racks, so I will
pass that on. Wouldn't want to crush a headtube.
If you want the best rack for the heaviest of front loads on a non-cargo
bike, you need the WorkCycles frame-fixed 'pickup' front rack. I have one,
and it is fantastic. It
I have a 9 cm Origin8/Kalloy and a 12 cm Nitto Pearl 11, each with 25.4mm
clamp diameters. I'd trade them both for a tall stem with short reach. I'd
love a Technomic Standard in the sub-10cm-extension range, but would also
consider a Deluxe, Tallux, Dirt Drop, Periscopa, or similar. Not looking
How would you say the Yves compares to the Clem?
