Larger tires are more comfortable on the rougher roads where I live.
The 700x32 (measure 28-29) Paselas on the Rambouillet feel/measure

I cycle to improve the quality of my life...being happy, healthy and
challenged...thanks to the Rivendell Owners Bunch for being part of
that.

Thanks for the link Jim.
I like the way Jim D has mounted his lights.
I'm about 75% of the way done with a triple CREE LED light...it's
turning out a ton cheaper than most commercial systems.

My All-Rounder, which I traveled with prior to applying frame saver
had/developed a film of rust over the insides of the tubes. Grant
said to frame saver it and it would be no problem...he was
right...I've had the bike for over 12 years now without a problem
13 more to go!

Justin,
I friction shift with 6, 7 and 8 speed rear clusters with Silver,
Simplex Retro-frtiction and Suntour Bar Cons shifters.
If the Silver's are jumping gears they have probably loosened,
applying a bit of bees was to the threads seems to help.

Looks good...loose the logo.

Thank you for sharing the pictures.
Some large cities can be amazingly good places to ride.

Joe,
I have a Tara ("elder model" according to the web site) but have not
use the ergo/nova. I have used the Tara on both 700c and 26" wheeled
Rivendells.
I like the Tara very much. I have no desire to change.
