I was gifted, by a very kind soul, an old Riv Plain Musette made of organic cotton, along with the 1996 Rivendell catalog that it's featured in. Like the label implies, it's plain and simple. I'm planning to keep it in my bike bag for those instances where I need to carry just a bit more than

I like wearing a Giro ski helmet when I bike in winter. The newer ski helmets all have ventilation that can open and close - same idea as pit zips - and they're very comfy. I'm skeptical of any cycling-specific winter gear. I like just buying ski gear instead. m On Sunday, December 13, 2020

I am a simple man with simple needs, and I would love to have green anodized Paul brakes on my Rivendell. I'd like Neo-Retros, but would consider touring cantis, minimotos, or other V-brake or Canti styles. I'd also consider other green anodized items, if anyone is holding. Thank you! --
