What a stunner, love that color scheme and the build looks great! You're photography on that set is particularly nice. If you want to try out 650x32mm tires I've got some really worn Nifty Swifties you are welcome to try out. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the

Erl, Though late to the party, wanted to express how gorgeous your new to you road custom is. The photographs are superb. I personally know how enjoyable a Winter project is, looking forward to the build over the months I know it'll be a sweet ride. Best, -Hugh -- You received this message

That is a gorgeous bike! I do like the look with the 650b and fenders. Thanks so much for sharing the photo. I had read somewhere else about the tread pattern in the Lierre trapping bits of road flotsam and jetsam; I am sorry to learn they pick up glass on your commute. I have ridden Compass

Nice bike. Not sure I've seen it in person. Is the photo from the park at the end of the high bridge? As to flats due to glass, I get them riding around St. Paul, too. Before switching back to Little Big Ben's back on the Hillborne, had 3 flats due to glass on the Barlow Pass tires in three

Eric- I'm not sure exactly where the photo was taken; we were visiting St. Paul for the Ramble last month. It's on the west bluff. I live and commute in Cedar Rapids, IA. You had flat problems with the Barlow Pass as well as the Lierres? I have some Mitsuboshi Trimlines to try out once the

Tim, No, just the Barlow Pass. Don't have a 650B bike. Makes more sense. I was on a Surly Ogre at the river bottoms ride. Didn't make the Friday ride. Eric Platt St. Paul, MN On Oct 29, 2014 11:09 AM, Tim Gavin tim.ga...@littlevillagemag.com wrote: Eric- I'm not sure exactly where the photo

Erl With a 96 production date, yours is a road standard. About this time,iirc, they were switching to Italian dropouts. Technociclo or something like that. My road is running 650b and feels great. A rider from out of town came in on Sunday to test ride my road and my Saluki for comparison. The

Erl I'm using text to 559s (the Riv silver brand is a polished version ) with cool stop salmon pads. I've had 38mm Pari Motos on it, but like the 36mm grand Bois Ourson instead (there is a new tire that replaces Ourson in their line up). 170 campy crankset. Mks touring lite pedals Bruce On

Tim, thanks for the photo. The wheels/tires look nice on the bike. It helps as I wanted to get a sense proportionally how the smaller wheels and larger tires would look on the frame. Bruce, I appreciate your information too about brakes, tires and the conversion to 650b. I am pleased that

The FedEx driver delivered my new-to-me Rivendell Road frame and fork on Saturday. There is nothing quite like the anticipation of a new bike. I had wanted something a bit different from my Atlantis and Surly LHT and decided this was it. This will be my winter project, and I hope to have it
