Is that the frame only or a complete bicycle and, if the latter, how is it
built up?
One last question - what part of CT?
Thanks!

I went through the same debate with a Brooks B17 Electric Blue saddle for
my Atlantis - it matched the lettering outline perfectly. I added some
chainstay wrap in blue to touch it off and am very happy with the results.
If you like it, go for it! There is no wrong answer in personlizing.
My first post joining this group.
I purchased this custom Rivendell and am in the process of building my
dream bike. I am aware of the potential for toe overlap, have taken quite
a few measurements, and I believe I may be able to avoid the issue on this
frame. The seat tube is 52 cm c-t
Like most of us I would imagine, I keep lookout on the Rivendell site and
am also the happy owner of a Custom and an Atlantis. Both bikes were
local purchases found through eBay and built-up with the assistance and
supply from the great folks at Rivendell.
As of today, I am the proud new
We'll see - that will be the first upgrade but I am not sure I want to go
with SKS Longboards or Chromoplastics based on some of the issues with
fender lines / bulging I've seen brought up here. I am assured by RBW

Thank you for the compliments.

Very nice custom and color - not too many of us in NJ as far as I can tell.

On one hand, I am really excited to have one the auction. On the other, I
feel bad about your note above and leave you with a standing offer that if
you ever decide to pay a visit to the Garden State, you can certainly use
the QB to ride while you are here.

you adjust to a single gear.
nothing wrong if you really want to mess with the SA 2 speeds, but there
is something pure about a single-speed QB that changes your perspective on
riding.

The more I hear about the fixed gear bicycle experience, the more it

accordingly before ordering a new one.
