I just picked up some Compass Steilacoom Extralights for my cross bike and
standard Antelope Hills for my rigid mtb turned gravel bike. The first few

Yeah, I personally think a quill stem is a bad idea for an MTB.

2.8s is plenty wide, for sure.
I already ride a rigid mtb and the widest tire I use on it is a 2.4...the
rear is a 2.2. It's a perfect combination for my local trails and don't
really think wider would add much. I love the fact it will be threadless
and 73mm bb, which makes it compatible with

I’m a disc fan, but if I can still get quality rims/wheels and use modern MTB
tires I can definitely use rim brakes. V brakes work pretty well, and cantis do
if i get over the initial setup frustrations I seem to always have with them.
I look forward to an MTB Riv...excited about it, actually.
Still available.

I have a brand new 51 cm Rivendell Appaloosa frameset (grilver color) in the
box, never unpacked, never built up, never molested in any way that I need to
sell. My wife decided she doesn’t want a new bike after I bought this for her,
so I have no use for it anymore. My loss, your gain, I guess.
Quite frankly, I have to question someone's morality if they still support

I have a set of Mark’s bars that I need to get rid of and figure someone here
might want them. I used them on my Roadeo that I sold so I really have no use
for them. Nitto quality and lighter weight than the Noodles. These are in
really good condition with just some tape residue and some stem
It's a very good thing to have Grant and the Riv staff comment here.

Looking forward to a new poster...I just recently picked up a Clem and a

will fit in wonderfully. I'm looking forward to the catalog too.

Nice setup. Looks like you got something to motivate you, which is always
good.

There is a slight selling point to the long chainstays that I'll point out
but it isn't at all Riv'ish but I'm gonna say it anyway.
So, I stuck Sram etap on my cross bike and found out rather quickly that

I love me some disc brakes, but on an Atlantis I really wouldn't want them.
There are two styles of bikes that I ride where I prefer disc

I went through a time of using varuiys cateye wired computers, then to a

I can say that the Wahoo Kickr is the best trainer I've ever owned, and
I've owned a few of them. Easy to remove a bike on and off and no

But, a second rear wheel is really the least expensive and still user
friendly option. It's the way I did it
Your 2 speed setup is awesome...really well done.
I have a single speed mountain bike that I really love, so when I decide to

I'm still on the fence with the long chainstays Rivendell is making just
