Re: [RBW] Re: Secret Platy

['Abcyclehank' via RBW Owners Bunch]

So happy to have more and more women riding Rivendell bikes.  Kudos to Leah 
and the many previous original Riv riders who have ridden and posted so 
many great pictures and stories about biking.  I found Riv because they 
made bikes large enough for me; but now I am proud to ride beautiful bikes 
that women have embraced as well.
How do I get Grant to design a 68cm Platypus.  Maybe I will grab a 64cm 
Clem L but I definitely don’t need a full build.  I have hoarding 
tendencies.

 Hi folks,

 I am semi in the market for a Clem H and am looking for some first 
 person thoughts on fit. I worry I am in between the 59 and the massive 65. 
 Can anybody who has ridden either or both of those chime in with their 
 measurements and how the bikes felt? I think the proper solution to this 
 problem is to just get the 64 L but I am just not sympatico with the 
 aesthetics there.

 I'm about a 95-96 PBH and ride a 62 Sam pretty comfortably with drops, 
 would prefer more reach every time I've set it up with flats.

 Also, the bike seems to have been excised from the models section of 
 Riv's site. Anyone know if they are planning on only offering the step 
 through model moving forward?

 Thanks!

[RBW] Re: WTB - 68cm Atlantis

['Abcyclehank' via RBW Owners Bunch]

Jacob,

I have one of these elusive White Rhino 68 cm Atlantis that really DESERVES 
a new home.  Please contact me via text for pictures and details. 
(616)928-4226.  Ryan Hankinson

It has S couplers and some beausage but rides identical to a non 
couplered one (I had two at one time) would rather sell as full bike and 
could likely help you with any level build desired.  Also a case is 
available if interested in traveling with one of the greatest all-around 
bikes ever.

Claimed I would never part with it ever but fell into a 68cm Riv Custom, a 
64cm Bombadil, and a XL Susie.  each barely trumps the Atlantis at their 
speciality.  I never dreamed I would ever have 3 such supreme Rivendell's 
in my possession.  Needless to say I have been bike blessed!

Re: [RBW] Re: The “Is It Normal Or Is It Broken” New Bike Game!

['Abcyclehank' via RBW Owners Bunch]

Leah,
Glad you were able to process and determine a compromise that best meets 
your “initial needs” regarding support light rack and saddle bag for the 
Platypus.  Like all relationships you and the Rowdy Platypus will feel each 
other out and come to an understanding about how to function well together 
just like you and your old steady workhorse friend the beautiful blue Clem 
L did.  
Yet all bikes and riders evolve and can handle a large range of riding with 
little modifications and tweaks.  
My only suggestion is not to embrace the differences and uniqueness of each 
so that your role as a rider and who knows maybe as a mechanic ‍ 
expands as well.

Just Ride!  Also 2021 needs to get here ASAP.  Great suggestion for 
everyone treating themselves to a Platypus or other Riv bike if they hit 
their riding goal for the year!

Sincerely,
Ryan Hankinson

So excited to here how her shakedown ride goes.  I can not imagine a more

 I have been waiting for this day for years. This is not an 
 exaggeration; and those of you with a history on this List know it because 
 your ears are bleeding from all of the pining I’ve subjected you to. A 
 metallic red Rivendell mixte - yes, you’ve heard it before.

 Rivendell shipped my raspberry Platypus and the parts a month ago. 
 There was a wait for the hand-built Velocity wheelset and custom anodized 
 parts from Analog Cycles, but those came today. I dropped everything to 
 take the load of stuff 35 minutes across town to one of the few bike shops 
 left in Las Vegas. This bike shop earned my allegiance this summer when 
 they expertly installed my wheelset and dyno on my Clementine. (I will 
 also 
 admit here that I cried in their parking lot on arrival that day because 
 their name is Pro Cyclery and I was sure I’d be a joke there.) 

 I entered the shop with my face masked and my arms full and took in the 
 scene while I waited for the mechanic. There were 3 other customers in the 
 store; one man looking at parts, an elderly gentleman complaining about 
 his 
 hybrid bike (“Everything on this bike feels too high!”) and an old duffer 
 who had planted himself at a high boy table and was watching the mechanics 
 work.

 The shop manager and the mechanic peered into the box and could see the 
 seat lug with the cream heart peeking out. That was all it took for the 
 Platypus to charm them. We moved my boxes of stuff into the mechanics’ bay 
 (special privileges, what?!) and the mechanic opened the Analog box. There 
 were mounds of parcels in brown paper wrappings inside. 

 “Here,” said the mechanic, “We’ll both unwrap them. It will be like 
 Christmas.” 

 The first thing he unwrapped was...a bottle of Vermont syrup. 

 “Oh, they’re from Vermont,” I explained, “Their shop is actually a 
 sugar shack.” 

 “VERMONT YOU SAY? WHERE IN VERMONT?” boomed the Old Duffer.

 “Vermont syrup!” squealed the manager. “Do you know how good Vermont 
 syrup is?” The mechanic enthusiastically agreed with her, so it was only 
 right that they should keep it.  

 We went on with our unwrapping - Ooh, I got teal HEADSET SPACERS - 
 what’s in yours? Oh, rose bolts, you don’t say! - until we had everything 
 laid out. 

 We went to the computer to input the information. “Ok,” said the 
 mechanic, “This is another Rivendell...does it have a name?” 

 “Well, it does, actually,” I said with great hesitation, “It’sa 
 Platypus.”

 “No it isn’t,” said the mechanic.

 “Are you serious?” asked the manager.

 “PLATYPUS?! ISN’T THAT WHAT THEY CALL THE MISSING LINK?” boomed the Old 
 Duffer.

 “Well,” I said, considering, “I don’t know, but did you know they glow 
 in the dark?!”

 Tonight I got a call from the mechanic. He’s started my build early and 
 will be doing cabling in a couple of hours. He wants to know how high I’d 
 like my bars so he can cut the cables for a perfect, customized look. I 
 have never gotten a call like that from a bike store. I’m cautiously 
 optimistic that this is all going to work out just fine...

 Nov. 25th.

 The shop was swamped today. The air compressor cracked. These were the 
 explanations offered up, and I barely heard them. My nails are painted 
 raspberry metallic, I am wearing hard pants (that’s what we call jeans in 
 the pandemic!) and all for naught. Naturally, because it is 2020, the bike 
 will not be ready for TWO more days because

[RBW] Rivendell Shipping

['Abcyclehank' via RBW Owners Bunch]

I emailed Will to inquire about the shipping of the Demo Large Gus I 
purchased.

He replied that Mark and James are working on getting the Sams out.
Stephen is working individually on the shipping of all the demos customers 
took off their hands promptly when they hit the garage sale page!

Everyone's situation may be slightly different but everyone is eager to get 
bikes to ride, build, or just escape some of the going ons in the world.

I think it is a great approach and assume quickly getting out the non 
prepped bikes would be much quicker than the prepped ones and obviously 
full builds.  Anyone getting a full build is lucky to have Mark dialing it 
in.  Regular mechanics are a plenty, great mechanics are rare, and 
exceptional one like Mark is worth waiting on.

To all receiving new bikes go forth safely and ride!

Ryan Hankinson (+1 Gus -3 great bikes soon)

[RBW] Re: CL outting: Bombadil

['Abcyclehank' via RBW Owners Bunch]

Joe,
Welcome to the club.  I agree that the Bombadil’s fork is as good as any ever 
produced.  
As good as the Hunq is and beloved by many; I strongly prefer the Bombadil.  
That might only be because the 62cm Hunq lent to me for an extended weekend was 
slightly to small for me.  My 64cm Bomb is just that the bomb!  
Probably why I am still hanging onto a 68cm frame and fork also.

[RBW] Re: The Quickbeam Rides Again!

['Abcyclehank' via RBW Owners Bunch]

All I know is that I love my Quickbeam to death.  Maybe the amazing ride that 
so many of know should be credited to the manufacturing by Panasonic being less 
than perfect (saying this tongue in cheek; sorta).

Can anyone specify the manufacturing timelines: colors and or serial number to 
identify for us uncertain of our 68cm Quickbeam origins?

Birdman,
That is stunning.  You perfectly emphasis the special relationship one can 
develop between themselves and a favorite bike.
Where others on the list may question your motive or the cost; I am supportive 
of everything that went into the revival of that Beautiful Ent.  The British 
Racing Green will cause me nightmares because I like it even better than my 
original Quickbeam green 臘‍♂️.
Happy riding!

Re: [RBW] Re: Things I Regret: Beausage on Vacation

['Abcyclehank' via RBW Owners Bunch]

Leah,
Remember the rides with your niece, the Rivs and that little red Special are 
part of the Peterson clan.  Can’t imagine a vacation by your family without 
them.

Just Ride! An ounce of prevention.  HD grocery bag over leather seats.  Pipe 
insulation can successfully protect a frame even to Joe’s needs and 
expectations.  However Ryan’s law states that whatever is not wrapped may find 
something to rub against. 1647miles outside are 80 MPH steel on steel causes 
serious erosion.

Best of luck traveling home.
Or you could just buy another home and stay in God’s Country with the Rivs

Re: [RBW] Craigslist score -- 59cm Roadeo

['Abcyclehank' via RBW Owners Bunch]

Eric,
Nothing frivolous about a highly discounted bike score.  Especially a perfect 
fitting essentially rare model from Rivendell.  Letting someone else eat the 
depreciation or passing the bike along to just eliminate the guilt of having to 
look at a neglected bike that does not get taken out for its intended purpose 
is a win win proposition.  Kudos to you for being part of the equation.

Enjoy that beautiful thin steel lugged ride!

Re: [RBW] Re: Travel bikes

['Abcyclehank' via RBW Owners Bunch]

Jay,

There are two really nice slightly used NWT Bike Friday’s with Rohloff hubs (2 
previous European Tours).  One large one Small, designed for 6’2” male rider 
and a 5’3” female rider.

Possibly the seller could give your relevant info about your travel desires as 
well.

Could Buy both Now for $5000 plus $80 shipping each.
Almost $1 of bikes with most of the modifications you would want.

I agree frequently making modifications can eat up the cost difference from 
going new but in this case either your new bikes will depreciate significantly 
for you or you could essentially try these with little additional depreciation.

If you each are within 2-4 inches of the original owners I would believe you 
could dial these in based on my experience getting a Bike Friday modified 
easily for me at 6’7”.  

Just a option.  I would offer the seller $4000 for both and you might have 2 
bikes for the price of less than one .

Sincerely,
Ryan Hankinson

[RBW] Re: Valuating modified 2003 Curt Goodrich 26" wheel custom frame FS

['Abcyclehank' via RBW Owners Bunch]

Patrick,
Unless there is another Patrick Moore in the world I think your bike has 
limited resale value.  Maybe I do not understand your unique preference for 
single speed fixed gear cycling.  However one of my favorite Rivendell’s is my 
68cm Quickbeam which I will never part with.  
I see your Goodrich modified Rivendell personally as a fancy Quickbeam or Frank 
Jones.
Frame and fork I would estimate as $900-$1200.
Racks and fenders may or may not be of interest to a buyer.

Just one large man‘s (100 PBH)  opinion.

Re: [RBW] Travel bikes

['Abcyclehank' via RBW Owners Bunch]

Jay,

Knowing your regular bike size and your wife's makes a huge difference 
especially regarding comfort!  I am 6’6” once had a 66cm bike Friday which road 
comfortably and surprisingly like my other full size bikes.  Yet my wife 
thought I looked like a bear on a bike in a circus.  The packing took just as 
long almost as assembling and packing a bike with S couplers.  If you can 
invest 20 minutes on each end only a break away bike will ride with the comfort 
and familiarity I would want CC touring 40+ mile days slowly exploring.
I have had 3 Rivs with couplers.  A 62cm Custom, a 68cm Atlantis, and a 53cm 
Atlantis for my wife.  All are packable in a 26x26 x8 case.  Only the Atlantis 
took over 20 minutes.
I have ridden a Brompton and BF 16” wheeled bikes and would only use in urban 
situations and if using public transportation.
Anyone under 6’ has a very different perspective because the difference between 
their foldable bike is not that drastically different as one would be to a 62cm 
Hunq.  
Maybe I am more susceptible to the variation than many others.  
The boat trip is a separate beast.  More like a bus I would want a folder 
(maybe a Brompton) but could never see myself exceeding 25+ miles a day on one.

Good luck.  Biking is an amazing activity to combine with vacationing.  
Something about the pace of exploring and observing a new place.

Ryan Hankinson

[RBW] Quickbeam Custom Paint Color Help

['Abcyclehank' via RBW Owners Bunch]

Birdman,
I strongly suggest you go with a cool green.  A splash of metallic would be a 
bonus.  
I also would discourage you from a contrasting cream head tube; just my 
personal bias but factors in significant upgrade cost usually $100+.  My 
suggestion would be to consider pinstripe outlining the lugs.  More bling for 
you buck.  Not to mention you could do it yourself and bond with the big Ent.

Re: [RBW] Next Level Clementine

['Abcyclehank' via RBW Owners Bunch]

Clark,
They will be available.  Rivendell as part of their stellar customer service 
always gets extra frames and forks to compensate for issues or damage in 
shipping.  Once the full bikes get out to their new owners they will release 
the extras.  Sometimes quickly sometimes slowly sometimes never and they find 
their way into a hot corner or rafter at RBW.  
Vince is the memory King if you have a random question about number of a 
particular size, color, etc it is probably locked away in his brain simply 
waiting for a reasonable inquiry.
That said they are swamped and short handed currently getting bikes out as fast 
and they can to the individuals who have fully paid for a bike or frame already 
(Gus and Susies) doing their stellar job of preparing and checking them first.
Their IG account also says they are hiring another person so they are doing 
what they can.

[RBW] FS- 53cm Atlantis with s couplers (26” wheels)

['Abcyclehank' via RBW Owners Bunch]

Bump!
Seriously make a best price offer shipped.  Just want this going to someone who 
will ride an uniquely perfect touring machine.
All money for the sale of this bike will be repurposed to RBW.
FFHS wheelset sale possible if someone has a full build of parts already in 
their possession.

Re: [RBW] Re: Lightening up my Joe Appaloosa--a full makeover. AHH--a partial makeover. Thanks to Analog Cycles.

['Abcyclehank' via RBW Owners Bunch]

I just want to shout out to the Rivsisters how much joy, enthusiasm, and a 
fresh perspective you each are adding to this list.
Welcome Melanie, Roberta and Leah you each already know how much respect I 
maintain for you amazing Riv owners.
The fact that you have found, love, and promote Rivendell and Analog is great 
for each small business and their bicycle goals.
This has to be good for both.  This may sound and be sexist as self examining 
of myself has helped me realize that other Rivendell men may often try to 
manipulate their daughters, girlfriends, wives, and or boyfriends to join them 
in their love of bikes and simply sharing an activity together at a level that 
is not ideal.  In the spirit of everything going on in the world I suggest 
everyone listen to the true voice of those being encouraged.

So much nicer and rewarding to let others find their own level of joy and 
enjoyment in the world of cycling.  Whether that is tubed or tubeless, helmeted 
or helmetless, masked or face free.

Long live the Rivsisters!

Just ride and let ride!

['Abcyclehank' via RBW Owners Bunch]

Joe,
Because it would make you an honorary step-#rivsister to her and the other 
intelligent women who share a healthy love of bikes; especially low step over 
mixte inspired ones.  They then bond with these steeds like their own 
offsprings demonstrating a loyalty and joy of just riding many of us manly men 
should aspire to emulate.
So yes you should think of a reason to go 45cm ClemL in Leah blue(I see yours 
having more streamline silver hubs and rims.  I will ever hold on to the 26” 
Copenhagen wheel I was contemplating listing for your eventual future needs; 
more importantly I will join as well and grab a 64cm metallic green one.  So I 
can express my sisterhood desires as well.

[RBW] 64cm Clem L ( should I preorder)

['Abcyclehank' via RBW Owners Bunch]

I like smart bikes but have way to many.  They do not make a Cheviot that would 
fit me, I had but sold a jumbo mountain Mixte Rosco before building it up.
I am 6’6”ish 220-240ish with a 99.5PBH in my early fifties.  Is there a 
good/great reason to get a step through at this stage of my cycling career?
I have no gaps in my cycling bike needs.
Should move some giant Riv bikes/frames but worked to hard accumulating them.
What do I do?

[RBW] Re: Admissions of Things You Ought to Have Known But Did Not: A Thread

['Abcyclehank' via RBW Owners Bunch]

My admissions have more to with the growth of my bikes than mechanical lessons. 
 I consider myself a complete novice when I started my own maintenance and 
repairs.  With low or no expectations one can expect mistakes and simply learn 
from them.  Fortunately none of my maintenance has cost me financially really.
Now regarding hunting and finding jumbo Rivendells that fit my almost 100PBH 
measurement I make mistakes all the time justifying the next addition due to 
their rarity and long stretches of nothing coming up for sale.
Several times I have justified a purchase telling myself I would sell 1 or 2 
off following the new purchase.
Now I realize my failure at following through with that behavior.  The new plan 
is to sell first before purchasing a new jewel when it presents itself.
I have a special credit union checking account earning 3% interest linked to a 
Paypal account which is the new criteria I use for new bike desires.  No money 
no bike/wheels/parts/etc.
Since bikes are my main vice in retirement I feel ok with my childlike wanting 
desires and have a mature adult like check and balance system.

Ryan Hankinson

Re: [RBW] Re: Joe's Custom

['Abcyclehank' via RBW Owners Bunch]

Joe,

I like the triple heart ❤️ ❤️ ❤️alignment on the seat tube.  Nicely imitated 
and passed along to others as well.  

I have seen many of your bikes with similar stem exposure and think it is fine 
and obviously serves your needs.  However since so many observers think you 
should switch to Boscos to reduce the visual effect for observers not riding 
the bike, send me the Loscos and I will ship you the lugged custom stem for 
Frank.

Re: [RBW] Re: WTB: Small Clem L, Cheviot, or other Riv Step-Thru or Mixte

['Abcyclehank' via RBW Owners Bunch]

Read closely Leah..
Abe is a very budget minded Riv connoisseur he explicitly states he is looking 
for a used model.
Although I think that approach is wise and often successful it can be difficult 
on the extreme sizes.  
When one becomes available often a second closely follows but long waits often 
are the prerequisite.
Maybe some small Susie or Gus buyers will release a perfect Ike for Abe’s wife 
later this month.

Be patient Abe trust the process.
I have scored many a large bargain at the other end of the spectrum.

Re: [RBW] PSA: 68 AHH on Seattle CL

['Abcyclehank' via RBW Owners Bunch]

John not in my opinion.  The Hunqa has a 6* upslope.  Whereas the original AHH 
had almost a level top tube.

Length of tube and angles are just a few of the variables that change to make 
direct correlations not always likely.

Rivendell has lots of Geometry charts to search through and I recommend 
learning what key measurements mean the most to you and then trust yourself.  
Although almost everyone on this list helps with the best of intentions they 
might confuse you even further if you solicit the open opinions 

Always best IMO to fire questions to Will, Vince, and company at RBW

68cm and absolutely love it.  Pedal assist just easier acceleration and riding 
with a tailwind whenever desired.  Up to 30 Miles rides with battery to spare 
in ECO.

Can be found Slightly used or NOS on EBay for $700-$1000 no reason to pay 
retail.  

Can’t recommend them enough.  
Had one on my wife’s 53cm 26’ S couplered Atlantis which is to small for her 
(hitting the list this week). Needed to get one so I could stay with her on 
rides.  My personal engine was not enough when she had a boost.

[RBW] Furlough Sale: 60 cm Betty Foy frameset

['Abcyclehank' via RBW Owners Bunch]

Purchased.  The circle of life continues.  This will be my wife’s 3rd Foy.   
First was to small.  Second she asked me to sell before I could fully build it 
for her.
This one will get built and dialed in early May once I am “free” to travel to 
Chicago to take possession.  

Sold 2 Rivendells yesterday so feel good purchasing one.

['Abcyclehank' via RBW Owners Bunch]

Leah,

Welcome to the world of bike mechanics 藺‍.  I never want to hear you say you 
can’t again; but fully expect to hear you say it is not worth my time and I 
would rather pay someone to do so.

So proud of you.  You have earned 1 week of ZERO passive aggressive 
communication from me. After my post script below.

Sincerely,

Ryan Hankinson

P.S. enjoy the wheels and tires when they arrive!  I think I just bought 
Heather a Betty also 臘‍♂️.

[RBW] Re: Lighten Up: Clem Edition

['Abcyclehank' via RBW Owners Bunch]

Leah wants SON dyno hubs apparently on both her current Clem 650B and 
future Cheviot 700c now.  Everyone is wasting their time proposing 
otherwise.  This is her dream bikes are her vice.  Don’t try to save her 
money.  Just tell her what to have Rich build up for her.

And Yes Leah I have wheel sets that would likely perfectly meet your needs. 
 Since you would not sell me your Benz I will just get around to posting a 
major  FS post for others benefit.

[RBW] Re: Lighten Up: Clem Edition

['Abcyclehank' via RBW Owners Bunch]

Leah,
I have a wonderful 650B velocity wheel set you may try.  Also have g-ones 
tires and Hetras you could try.  A different size rim will require an 
adjustment to brake pads.

It does frustrate me slightly that you ignore my advice about wheel and 
tire improvement on ride and weight until 4-5 others state the same claim. 
 Oh well what do I know.

For the record the least expensive option would have been to simply swap 
parts wheels etc from the Betz build over to the Clem to see which 
modifications were worth the build.

However since you boxed up the bike before trying the other wheels and had 
no mechanic to help you with the swap and now the Benz has a new owner; 
therefore shopping for and buying new parts (wheels and tires 1st) buying 
used parts or borrowing some from me is really your only options.

Sincerely,
Ryan Hankinson
West Michigan

[RBW] Re: 30 Days of Biking!

['Abcyclehank' via RBW Owners Bunch]

Rode all 4 days but can only be credited with two (Copenhagen Wheel 
controversy).  Today’s was the shortest under 5 solo miles on a Rivendell 
Hubbuhhubbuh Tandem sans stoker.  Apparently 39 degrees is not warm enough for 
my beautiful better half on what was a rainy cloudy day.  Excited for near 60 
degrees and sunshine tomorrow will see if that promising forecast will invoke 
my fair weather spouse out for a spin.  I can’t even bribe her with ice cream 
or coffee because our local favorites are all closed due to the Chrono Virus 
Pandemic.

Re: [RBW] Re: 30 Days of Biking!

['Abcyclehank' via RBW Owners Bunch]

Leah,
Thanks for starting this post.  I have noticed that the Clem L has been 
unburdened despite the beautiful racks and basket.  Just evidence that your 
Custom or Cheviot can be a dedicated equivalent of your sports car instead of 
your carry all prepared for the end of the world Mom van.
I will post any rides I take on my non-Copenhagened Rivs since you seem to want 
to discriminate against trendsetters like Joe and I.

Sincerely,
Ryan Hankinson

[RBW] My Clem Smith JR. Build revealed!

['Abcyclehank' via RBW Owners Bunch]

Tim,
A brilliantly created high end Clem.  Love to see that others have no 
hesitation upgrading a Clem beyond a standard build which meets so many 
perfectly as an introduction to Rivendell.  Jealous of your successful Wheelset 
build.  Looks fabulous love the color combos and emphasis down to the smallest 
detail.

Happy travels; Just ride!
