 While I wait for the wheelset of my Platypus, I’ve been thinking about 
 how I want to set up my bars (sorry, I just cannot call it a ‘cockpit’). 
 I’ve got 52 Boscos in aluminum to look forward to, and I want to keep my 
 bike as svelte and light as I can. I did the unthinkable and paid for a 
 Spurcycle bell just now ($49 for a bell?!) and now I need bags in keeping 
 with the look. I’ve never ventured past Rivendell and Randi Jo for bags, 
 so 
 I’m unaware of what great offerings the market offers.

 As far as function goes, I’ve got that figured out. Attached are our 
 pair of mom and kid Clems, which we have set up similarly with a Randi Jo 
 bag for our Hydroflasks and a XS Saddlesack facing the rider for 
 iPhones/keys/essentials. I like both of these bags, but neither holds all 
 my items. I’d like to have only one bag so my bars aren’t so cluttered. I 
 do know that Riv is re-doing some of their Sackville line, so I’ve emailed 
 to ask about those details. I’d prefer to give Rivendell my money, but 
 we’ll see what those new bags are like.

 Do you have any recommendations?
 -light
 -streamlined, unobtrusive
 -zippers preferred
 -no garish colors (frame is already a saturated color - raspberry 
 metallic)
 -hold a 32 oz flask AND an phone/keys/granola bar

 Thanks!

[RBW] Re: Clem L arrived, couple of thoughts and questions

[Adam Leibow]

My wife has those wheels on her Sam Hillborne and she loves the 
multicolored nipples. They are machine built wheels. My theory about all 
the braze-ons is they just give you way too many so you can mount any kind 
of rack + fenders + reflectors and doo-dads of all sorts. Ultra 
flexibility.

[RBW] Re: Locking Up your Riv

[Adam Leibow]

I have several locks including the Bordo I bought from Riv. The Bordo is 
great since it's more substantial than any cable lock (in that bolt cutters 
won't be enough to get through it). I use it as the sole lock only in 
"light" lockup situations (areas I feel safe in and for short periods of 
time). I live in SF, so usually my lockup situations are "heavy" such that 
the Bordo is supplementary to at least one U-lock and I have to strongly 
consider whether I can lock up the bike at all. In summary, it's a great 
lock whether it's the only lock needed or one of several needed.

[RBW] Re: 59cm Atlantis (current model)

[Adam Leibow]

Hi Bryan,

If Steve is correct that your PBH is 87.5cm, then you and I have the same 
exact PBH figure. I have owned both the 59cm MIT Atlantis and now own the 
55cm MIT Atlantis. The 59 is a BIG 59. I was able to fit well but had less 
than 1cm of standover (with big 2.3" tires). 

I sold it and later replaced it with the 55, which is a better fit FOR ME 
as a mountain bike. I am 5'-9" tall with very long legs for my height. How 
tall are you? The 59cm might suit you better in the reach department if you 
are lanky, but if you are wary of minimal standover then 55 or 56 might be 
more appropriate. 

Feel free to reach out if you have specific questions since my experience 
might be relevant to you.

-Adam

[RBW] WTB/ISO: Nitto UI-12 stem, 80mm or 70mm extension.

Hi RBW GG, 

As title mentions, I am looking for a Nitto UI-12 stem (quill stem for use 
with 31.8mm bar clamp dia.) in either 80mm or 70mm. The 90mm I have is just 
slightly too long on my new Homer. 

Let me know what you got. Thanks!

[RBW] Re: Next Level Clementine

[Adam Leibow]

Cool story! It's awesome that that shop was able to appreciate the bike, 
and took such care in doing the work. That is a really nice build. That 
being said, I can't imagine how much you spent on all this! One reason I am 
able to afford the bikes I have is I can build them myself, which is a huge 
savings. Just a thought.

i have the new MIT atlantis and it's a joy to pedal despite not being the 
fastest bike out there. i had a sam which was slightly svelter/faster but 
still not the zippiest bike. i got the atlantis cause i wanted a riv all

you're riding trails you'll love the atlantis.

[RBW] WTB: 650b wheelset on the lighter side (100/135 space)

[Adam Leibow]

hi yall

i would like to see what you got. ideal would be something like velocity 
a23 or mavic open pro laced to shimano LX or something like that. i would 
also accept a velocity synergy or atlas (slightly wider/beefier rim OK - 
but cliffhangers would be too much).  i am hoping to spend as close to $200 
as possible. local pickup in bay area preferred but i can pay for shipping 
too depending on how it affects the overall cost. 

thanks in advance! please shoot me a text if you have something

it depends how skilled your friends are VS. how skilled you are. the clem H

only helps if you are absolutely FLYING downhill. i know ive shared this

[RBW] Re: Tall Arm V-Brakes

I had the 32F rack mounted on my sam hillborne successfully with deore V

[RBW] Re: Lighten Up: Clem Edition

[Adam Leibow]

As someone who's had both the Cheviot and the Clem L, I don't understand 
the comments about the Cheviot being lighter or faster. My Cheviot was 
neither compared to my Clem L, and it wasn't because of a difference of 
part weight or the presence of a rack or not. The builds were almost 
identical. I found the Clem L to be more springy and light (maybe not in 
actual weight, but in pedal stroke sensation / effort). 

However, it could have been the tires. The Cheviot had 2.0" Big Bens and 
the Clem L had Compass Antelope Hills (~2.3"). The Big Bens are much 
heavier and have more rolling resistance. Perhaps try a lighter, suppler 
tire like the Antelope Hill or the Schwalbe G One? 

As someone who owns an actually light bike (sub-20lb titanium road bike 
with carbon fork and no cargo whatsoever), I really don't see making the 
Clem L meaningfully lighter, unless you're talking about big differences 
like "front and rear steel racks vs. no racks". 

Ride characteristics of a frame and bike fit are just as important to your 
speed as sheer bike weight.

[RBW] Re: WTB: 59 MIT Atlantis

[Adam Leibow]

Steve, I went through the same thing and tried the 59cm Atlantis because my 
friend was selling it for a good deal. It was big for me but I made it 
workfor two weeks, then I sold it. Now I have the 55cm, which fits me 
well although I am still working out the reach and bar setup. TBH, I know 
the OP Mike and I know he would fit the MIT 59cm (55/56 would be too 
small).

i agree with this a lot. i sell bike stuff on instagram @adom_sale and it's 
super annoying when I list a hot ticket item, one person responds with 
"extreme interest" and says they can pay soon, only to go MIA for three 
days while four other buyers are lined up, ready to send funds. it's gotten 
to the point where i won't hold an item for someone who does this; i just 
sell it to the next person in line. too bad for the person who was first in 
line.

[RBW] Re: Help me buy a Riv

[Adam Leibow]

if you are prioritizing a city build, i'd go with the Homer or Sam. You 
don't need the meaty tires of the Atlantis/Cheviot/Joe, and if you do 
decide to do some offroad, the Homer & Sam are still great at it. The 
bigger-clearance'd, stouter-tubed Rivendells might become annoying if you 
are trying to zip through the city all the time. That said, they'd still be 
pretty darn fun.

[RBW] Re: In your opinion, what's missing from the Riv lineup?

[Adam Leibow]

I think they should widen the tire clearance on a Homer, but keep the 
lighter tube spec. This would be an all-day rider (not a tourer) but with 
2.2" clearance for extreme fire roads and easier single track, a la Crust 
Bombora or Black Mtn Cycles monster cross. Perfect bike for a mixed terrain 
brevet.

[RBW] Re: Narrow-wide 1x chain ring question

[Adam Leibow]

IME oven cleaner was not strong enough to remove the black finish from a 
Raceface chainring, so someone recommended lye, which is serious stuff. I 
never ended up buying/using lye, but it's probably a strong bet to remove a 
finish from an anodized part. 

Also IME most or all narrow wide chainrings are all branded for no fewer 
than 10 speeds; you will probably not find one stamped 9speed or 8speed. 
They'll still work fine with an 8spd or 9spd chain, just make sure your 
drivetrain is clean and lubricated adequately.

[RBW] Re: MIT AHH vs Canti Sam

i have the Sam and do find it to be stiff and it rides like a touring bike.

[RBW] Re: Switching Appaloosa from 700 to 650b

[Adam Leibow]

I have some bikes with virtually 0" standover which I ride fairly 
aggressively offroad. In my experience if you bail on a trail you do not 
sit down on the top tube with your legs perfectly extended downwards, 
rather throw the bike down sideways and dip off to the side in 99/100 
cases. I had a 59cm MIT atlantis (too big for me) briefly that I rode on 
some rocky-rooty-muddy trails and did not feel concerned about the absence 
of standover. If I were you I would continue riding the 62cm especially if 
you find it fits you well. If you simply can't get comfortable with the 
knowledge that there is no standover, I would buy the size smaller before 
going through the hassle (and possibly botched geo) of having a 
framebuilder move the brake posts. just my opinion

Re: [RBW] Re: What does a BMC Monstercross weigh?

[Adam Leibow]

Scott, handling is normal/fine although I think the stem could be 10-20mm 
longer to fit optimally (i go back and forth on that which is why I haven't 
made the change yet). I highly recommend this bike, rides zippily like a 
Homer and the color options are great this batch. It handles well on single 
track. I ride it around golden gate park trails here in SF. Also, here is a 
video edit I made riding the Road Plus on Mt. Tamalpais dirt roads:

[RBW] Re: Quick introduction and Clem parts questions

[Adam Leibow]

if it were me, i would see if i could find a used wheelset at the same 
pricepoint but with more classic parts (non-disc hubs, more silver parts). 
you could, as someone else mentioned, do a want-to-buy post for a wheelset 
at $150.

[RBW] Re: Choco vs choco-moose

[Adam Leibow]

IME anything "-moose" is triangulated and therefore stiffer (can equate to 
harsher riding); the benefit is it's more rugged for heavy duty riding and 
stiffer (if you are a bigger rider with a heavy pedal this can be a pro). 
one other benefit of "-moose" is your bars will never slip down.

[RBW] Re: Rivendell Cheviot double chainring clearance?

[Adam Leibow]

clearance aside, she might not know what she's missing with the tiny ring. 
i have a wide low double sugino crank from rivendell with the tiny inner 
ring, and bashguard instead of a big/outer ring. having that small gear is 
really nice. but i do ride up a lot of hills living in san francisco.. . 
39t is a big small ring for this bike

[RBW] Re: Make my AHH look less tempting!

[Adam Leibow]

i lock up all my rivendells all over san francisco, and it might be safe to 
say san francisco is worse than the town in the UK for bike theft. & i have 
never had a bike stolen (i even went to UCSB). i attribute this to a couple 
of factors:
- i always lock my bike in a bright prominent area with a lot of foot 
traffic (nearby a hotel main entrance, for example). bonus points if you 
can see your bike from wherever it is you'll be going. 
- i go crazy overboard on locks. u lock for the frame, second u lock/abus 
bordo for the front wheel, small abus chain lock through saddle and rear 
wheel. remove all bags. 
- always bring bike inside whenever possible. 

some ideas for making the bike look shittier than it is:
- plastic grocery bag wrapped around saddle
- ratty/worn/stained bar tape (un-shellacked cloth tape is great for this 
and it's nice beausage)
- minimize polished parts, increase worn parts (rusty steel quill stem?)
- if drop or albastache bars, use non-aero brake levers
- cleverly placed sticker here or there (decrease pristine factor)

hope this helps

[RBW] FS: 59cm MIT Atlantis Frame/Fork/Headset

[Adam Leibow]

Hello All,

Catch & release Atlantis frameset for sale. I got this from clayton.sf to 
try it out since it was a good deal. I like it a lot but I think I'm more 
married to keeping my Clem L as my offroad shredder Rivendell. 

Asking $1100 (same price Clayton.SF asked). I will favor a local sale in 
San Francisco, but I'm willing to ship this frameset if you let me take 
some time to find a box and package it properly. 

Here is a picture of it from last weekend:

[RBW] Re: Joe Appaloosa 700c to 650b via Paul motolite barkes

[Adam Leibow]

you can't make the wheel size smaller with the motolite brakes, only 
bigger. for example, a vintage MTB with 26" wheels can take 650b or even 
700c (small tires) using the motolites. but you can't go the other 
direction unless you have a framebuilder move the canti studs down.

[RBW] FS: 53cm Toyo Atlantis FFHS (shimano 600 headset)

[Adam Leibow]

hello rbw people - selling my fiance's atlantis. this is the one alluded to 
in another thread. very scratchey!
https://www.ebay.com/itm/53cm-Rivendell-Atlantis-Touring-Bike-Frameset-Toyo-Made-in-Japan-Shimano-600/113869740180

cosmetic condition is "fair" but it's a blast to ride. my fiance crashed 
once which bent the tip of the fork dropout slightly outward. this was 
fixed professionally by Steve Rex. He also gave the entire frame a 
straightening for good measure. So it rides great!

see ebay link for photos & more information. i ask to net $800 OBO.. 
located in San Francisco and can deliver within the city limits or 
peninsula (possibly east bay or marin too). I can also ship via bikeflights 
at buyer's expense ($50 conus probably). I will throw in a set of Compass 
RTP if you pay the full price. 

seattube is 53 C-T. toptube is 54 C-C

hmu if you interest
(310 963 6959 text is best

thanks!
Adam

i concur that the clem L feels light for what it is. i think because it

[RBW] Re: anybody tried WTB Riddlers?

[Adam Leibow]

i really like this tire. i, too, had the 700x45 version and used them on my 
black mountain cycles MC and then my Sam Hillborne. they roll fast but 
still offer great traction in dry dirt (both loose & hardpack) conditions. 

two things to note based on my experience:
1. the center tread wears quickly because it is thin. 
2. the side knobs are so built up that cornering can feel "unique" at 
times. as in, you turn sharply and find that the tire stops leaning at a 
certain point. this is only a problem on the road. what you lose in road 
turning capability you gain in offroad traction. ymmv or whatever.

Re: [RBW] FS: Ultegra 3x9 group incl. wheels, nitto tallux, nitto noodle

[Adam Leibow]

it's a 60cm. loving it so far. the ride of the frame is really exquisite,
lighter than any other rivendell i've ridden (except perhaps the roadini i
test rode one day). i can't wait to build it with a newer group and fatter
tires. ordered some schwalbe g one all around 38s. i will post pics when
it's done!

my sam hillborne is outfitted with compass snoqualmie pass standard casing

[RBW] Re: Economical Clem

[Adam Leibow]

if you are trying to do this super budget, find an old fully rigid complete 
stumpjumper or rockhopper from the early 90s, add the riv accoutrements, 
(swap the bars to boscos, add fenders, brooks saddle, basket+racks, 
schwalbe fat tires). done deal for easily under $600. alternatively, find a 
vintage MTB frameset with good clearances and build it up riv style. i have 
done so many builds like this.

[RBW] Re: Tires for HHH tandem

[Adam Leibow]

I didn't read the whole thread so apologies if this has been stated: the 
tire pressures required for tandem weights are much higher than normal to 
support two peoples' weight. Compass EL seems risky to me for sidewall blow 
out. I have the WTB horizons on mine, which seem just strong enough not to 
cause worry but ride fairly lively and smooth.

[RBW] Re: Rivendell tandem builds

[Adam Leibow]

As a current Hubbuhubbuh owner, one piece of advice I can share is that 
friction shifting was a PITA. My theory is the amount of distance the cable 
travels combined with how much more a tandem frame flexes (longer tubing 
distances + the weight of two people) equals mucho ghost shifting and 
chain-jump weirdness. I could be wrong. But my problems went away when I 
flipped the switch on my Ultegra shifters (mated to Paul thumbies) to 
"index" mode. I'd steer clear of friction shifting on the tandem but I am 
interested to hear others' experiences

[RBW] Re: Chevoit or Clem jr L

[Adam Leibow]

^as a counterpoint to my own claim, both are amazing bikes and can really 
do it all. I used to take my Cheviot on the same allrounder group rides and 
it did great. you can't go wrong. Buy the one that pulls your heart strings 
most.

[RBW] Re: Chevoit or Clem jr L

[Adam Leibow]

I have both (60cm Cheviot & 59cm Clem L) and disagree that the cheviot is 
faster/sportier. To me the cheviot rides stouter/stiffer and the clem L 
feels flexier and "planes" if you believe in that. I prefer the Cheviot for 
carrying a substantial load (clem L flexes too much) and the Clem L for 
lighter loads & faster rides. I use the Clem L on group rides to keep up 
with my local MTB & CX group ride friends. They're amazed that my 
"commuter" can keep up.

if you really want to mountain bike it, i'd go with paul motolite instead 
of cantilevers, and +1 for the bullmoose bars or wavie bars the nitto UI-12

Tom, the 12s GX eagle setup is great. The shifts are virtually 
instantaneous and the group feels very reliable, shifting wise. Despite not

John Bokman - 46mm nitto noodles, small wald (137). There's a Donut Sack

Jon - the shifting is great! very quick and precise. Sram is great for 
that. 

I'm just using an XT hub (a 10speed one, i dont know the model) with a 
sunrace 11-50t twelver cassette. 

i recommend this setup if you are interested in modern shifting. You can 
get this group (with Sunrace cassette & sans cranks) for $240 on ebay.

[RBW] FS: 700c/29er Velocity Dyad Deore LX wheelset

[Adam Leibow]

Hello RBW group,

I have for sale a very standard & solid 700C Rivendell wheelset. 

Velocity DYAD 36H silver
Deore LX hubs 100/135OLD

Here's a horrible picture of what they look like mounted on a Rivendell in 
bad interior light:
[image: 47181491461_f09d1f40aa_z.jpg]


I am pretty sure the spokes are just straight gauge & the nipples are 
probably brass but don't hold me to it. The wheels are "true enough" 
meaning they ride well and probably don't spin totally perfectly like a 
brand new handbuilt set, but are not far away from perfection.  

I am looking for $100 net. I live in Outer Sunset and work in SOMA in San 
Francisco and much prefer a local sale! I can deliver to pretty much any 
where in SF 7x7. I will give it two or three days before offering to ship 
in case there is somebody local who can come get em. 

However if shipped I will package well & ship via Bikeflights but whenever 
I guesstimate the cost of shipping it always ends up being more, that I 
cover. If you send me $100 for the wheels, I will ship and trust you to 
trust me to get the best shipping price which I will trust you to fully 
imburse me for. Hope that tongue twister makes sense!

Thanks for looking!

[RBW] Re: daily post ur riv

[Adam Leibow]

clementine approves of the changes i just made to my sam. kind of hated the 
way it rode with 37s and fenders from my OP to be honest. i'll put the rack 
& basket back on again soon too.

Re: [RBW] Re: daily post ur riv

[Adam Leibow]

Patrick, thank you! the bottles are copper, and i agree about them not 
matching the more baby blues and pinks and creams that i've got going on. 
However, if I let them patina enough, they might ;)
