Phew wee! You must have a mighty nice parts cupboard!
Looks great, glad to hear you're enjoying it so far :)

Thanks for sharing, Jason! I know the frame's a bit big for you yet I'm
curious to know how it feels with the drops. Too stretched out for you to
get a good idea?
Please tell us you're keeping that Suntour BL front mech.
I know you like the nice tires, what are you thinking of for the
@Jason you are probably right about fender clearance. The Ultradynamicos I
had on it were 48's and just barely cleared the mini-v's. I am happy with
the size if tire I have now (Babyshoe Pass 42) but I am still planning on
moving to full size V's when Rivendell releases their new ones.

Now that is a bicycle I would buy! The drops just seem perfect to me...
encouraging to see drops on a Rivendell!

Johnny - indeed! I am generally not sold on the script font of the
downtube badge but I really like it on the silver, has a distinct
Stumpjumper vibe (or maybe Crossroads, which this bike much more closely
resembles). I already stuck a Simworks decal on the head tube in lieu of a
head badge.
Now these are very nice!

Yes!! I was hoping to hear from the other proto owners. Yours is the
reverse of mine. I have a Gallop headbadge but protovelo decals and your
has the gallop decals but no headbadge. Love the color on that one. How is
it with drops? Are you planning to keep it that way? Do they have mini-V's
@Eric I missed your question yesterday. I use it for all my road riding. I
normally (In the warmer months) ride a few times a week and about 10 miles
at a time. I like light trails rides but those require me driving to them
so I don't do them as often and am in the process of getting another
I forgot that I was so positive about the Ultradynamicos. I had the JFF
version which is not the most supple but also not the most robust. They
rode well but after awhile for mostly road use the little knobs or whatever
they are just seemed to be a drag. I think they would do really well for
I too was surprised to see you ended up not feeling the Cava's, though I
wholeheartedly agree that the RH tires are vastly more comfortable. I find
the UD Cava to be a nice mix of speed and grip for mixed pavement and
hardpack, but their casings don't feel very supple/comfortable even in Race
The cockpit change up was an improvement, looks great. Curious about the
Ultradynamicos. In your original post you highly recommended them but ended
up not caring for them, curious what changed? I've been waiting on their
restocking

Looks great, Johnny.
Can you tell us about the ride? How does it handle and what kinds of rides
have you taken it on?

Beautiful build, and I am supremely jealous. The crew knows that if they
decide to sell the grivler 53, they've got a buyer in me. I love how low
and long it is, like a scrawny Hillibike. That would be a pretty optimal
two-bike quiver; this and a matching Susie.

I am sure that you are absolutely correct about the stem playing into it. I
would actually drop this stem a touch but it's one of those overly long one
stems and that is literally as low as it will go. I ordered a Nitto MT
mountain stem which would have been shorter in length and angled up a
