There is some *serious* money in that bike. That's right - I italicized,
emboldened, *and* underlined the word serious.
Good idea on the locking skewers. That is a beautiful ride.

Hey, I'm always striving for the George Clooney look, and apologize to no
one (uh, except George)... The Riv look? It's what other bikes should
aspire to ... Can we please see pics??? Congrats!

WOW..a little too brave for my tastes. I may put that Patterson 2-speed
system on the Saluki in lieu of the triple Sugino and a front derailer.
Match that with with my CNC-era Amarican-made Precision Billet rear mech,
and I'd say that's different enough, eh?

To post to this group,
You say it looks like everyone else's Rivendellas if that's a bad
thing!:)
Actually, I completely understand your thinking. When a new bicycle is a
big deal you want it to be unique to you. If I had the money to splurge on
a Homer, the major change I would make would be to get a TA
As a fellow 65 Homer-er... a hearty congratulations on the new bike.
Even if it is a typical Riv build, it's nice to see pictures.
Did you go with 1TT or 2TT? Does anyone know if there are other Riv
models/sizes that have 2TT as an option?
I've had my 65 Homer for about a year and it's been
I like the standard Riv builds. I don't think it is being a copycat.
I think the build kits are fantastic.
Be glad you have it. I don't on mine.
Please post pics so we can all drool...
One thing I did that was different was run the bar end cable housings along
the noodle bars, exiting
HA! I know the feeling. My new-to-me Saluki is due to arrive tomorrow, and
I've had similar qualms about the build. All the parts I have ready for
it fit its intended Country Bike mission: triple Suginos, city-type bars,
friction shifters, cork grips, wide Brooks saddle, saddlebag. You're right
