About setting up a long mountain bike: we have 1 long mountain bike, '87 Schwinn sierra, and one short mtb, '90 BstoneMB-1, and I have ridden same rugged trail -/+ 300' elevation on both. The long one feels stable going down fast, more work going back up. The short one feels easy to handle,

Does anyone else find it amusing that these low-end Rivs ended up so pretty? The original plan was for matte paint jobs to disguise them as beater bikes. Rivendell is physically/spiritually incapable of making an ugly bike :) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the

I've never really figured this out well enough to have a strong opinion about it, and I think about it *all the time*. I do prefer short chainstays on really technical descents and on slow, rocky trails, for the way they allow me to get my weight back over the rear wheel and un-weight the

Are there headbadge photos somewhere? A man-hole cover seems to come to mind for the Clem Jr. (Btw, do an image search for man hole cover - it's surprisingly cool.) I'm not sure a Clementine would look nice with a man-hole cover badge though. Related: I've been thinking of setting up a

No reason at all. Mountain bikes with dropped toptubes came about as a result of road-style configurations being too tall for safe dirt riding. A Clementine with all that stepover room would be great in the dirt, especially with that long tail to smooth out the bumps, and prevent wheelies
