Good find! And Bones will see that the Instagram x-tra cycled Clem has the stem mount for a Yepp front seat too! Abe On Thursday, April 16, 2020 at 9:29:54 AM UTC-7, David B wrote: > > Xtracycle is possible! > https://www.instagram.com/p/B-0wCPDA_YV/ > > On Thursday, April 16, 2020 at 10:31:28

Love the name, successful and weird animals, something to aspire to, it’s gonna be great. V-brakes really are easy to work on and strong - I miss them on my Cheviot but love them on the Rosco Baby. Can someone start making the beaver tail mud flaps now? The Wald racks have a good pattern for it

Re: [RBW] Re: Joe's Custom

Looks fantastic Joe! How do you like those DXR MX70 brakes? I read about you having the rear shifter on the British side, but does the cable on the down tube touch or run the frame at all? Looks so close in the photos and wouldn’t want that Joe Bell paint to see a scuff. Clem wheels and

Re: [RBW] Re: Fancy Cheviot!

Thanks for the pics! Noticed v-brakes in rear but not front, wonder if that’s just them waiting on different forks and nothing yet for prototypes or if the plan is for some asymmetry. Very good look to them, can’t wait to see the final version! -- You received this message because you are

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

While that Clem L is just perfect, I should have mentioned I’m in the used / budget market. While I buy lots of bits and bobs new from Riv, the only bike I bought directly from them was also a used double top tube Sam bully up and well ridden for $1,000. Thanks for looking out! Maybe Joe

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

Now that Justin is not looking any longer, I’m interested in the same bikes if anyone is selling (in Napa, Ca but can travel an hour or two for pickup). Looking for something for my wife with a 72cm PBH so 45cm Clem L or 47cm Cheviot or something similar. Lovey bike you found instead though

[RBW] Re: Fs: Rivendell Grabsack V1/original

Gustavo, did I buy a VO front rack from you a couple years ago (and looked at a few of your other bags like Ostrich or some other nice bags)? The rack is still working nicely on my Cheviot. Abe On Friday, May 1, 2020 at 7:07:04 AM UTC-7, Gustavo Vasquez wrote: > > Hi all! New to the group. > I

Re: [RBW] Re: Fancy Cheviot!

Happy to have my bike confused for one of Leah’s! The rear seat is just for looks for now - though we are hoping to adopt a second child! Currently the rear rack is a support rack, not enough weight bearing for a baby seat. But I have a suitable rack ready for the rear seat (max 40 pounds)

[RBW] Re: beautifying beausage: caring for worn paint

Some polish wouldn’t hurt but it won’t do much. Options: (1) If you can get or mix some matching-ish paint and fill it in with a tiny paint brush or even a toothpick. A little denatured alcohol to smooth down lumps of excess paint. Nail polish could also work. (2) Embrace it as is, won’t hurt

[RBW] beautifying beausage: caring for worn paint

I recommended Meguier’s Ultimate Compound in the earlier thread, great stuff you can work with by hand and a towel, you really can’t screw it up. Any chance you could post some photos of the damage? Restore paint works great. Mix a couple to get it close. Or just any fingernail polish if

Great sleuthing everyone! I emailed the seller and they referred me to the geometry page as well and told me it’s a 2018 bike. Can anyone advise me on the correct PBH range for that model? If it’s a fit I’ll be driving to Santa Cruz ASAP! Thanks for the quick work everyone! Abe -- You

[RBW] 50cm MIT Atlantis with 26” wheels?

Someone is selling their Atlantis on Craigslist - it has 26” wheels (in the photos and description) but the frame size is listed as 50cm ... I thought only the 47cm frame has 26” wheels, is that right or is there some way a 50cm frame would have 26” wheels? Hoping it’s actually a 47cm so I can

I suspect the Soma Supple Vitesse would have fit based on the Big Bens that barely fit according to these photos from another list member: https://www.flickr.com/photos/46035786@N07/with/15831687195/ But I’m happy with having ordered the 38mm g-one speed tires. I’ll wear them out and call it a

[RBW] Re: Tires for Hillborne: talk me out of 48mm Soma Fabrications Supple Vitesse EX TR

I’m convinced Adam, though I ordered the “Speed” because that’s what I have on my Rosco Baby (albeit in 60mm width) and I really enjoy them. I don’t get the Sam in much dirt (the Rosco, my Cheviot, or, if needed, my Salsa El Mariachi!) so it’s my “go slightly faster bike” that will enjoy much

[RBW] Re: Tires for Hillborne: talk me out of 48mm Soma Fabrications Supple Vitesse EX TR

Thanks for the quick reply. Bikes are kept in the garage (inside). I also use the Basketball tires on my Cheviot, 42mm, reflective sidewalls, can be found for close to $20 AND the VERY rarely flat on me (maybe twice in 3,000 miles, just switched to a new pair about 200 miles ago). They’re my

[RBW] Tires for Hillborne: talk me out of 48mm Soma Fabrications Supple Vitesse EX TR

My Compass Snoqualmie Pass tires are worn out according to Rene Herse - the rear tire blew (it was setup tubeless), probably I was running a pressure too high (at the tubeless max, 60 psi). Now that I’m looking to replace them I was considering these wider 48mm Soma Fabrications Supple Vitesse

Lots of good replies, but my opinion based on some similar paint and clear coat repairs to other Rivendells: *Before* considering sand paper, *definitely try scratch removal compound. Specifically, Meguiar's Ultimate Compound. *It's $10 at Walmart, AutoZone, or O'Reilly's ... or free if you
