Scratches can polish out as others have described with less aggressive than

marring of the clear coat over the paint, I'd sure try the least invasive

Yah, rubbing compound and a "scratch remover" polish would be a good place
to start. You can always move up to fine sandpaper if that is insufficient.

Thanks Mark! Those are some nice bikes you’ve got there too. They look almost

that I’ve been enamored with your Huffy Racing bike. I’ve been using it as

Lots of good replies, but my opinion based on some similar paint and clear

The new (as of 2/13/20) Blahg mentions a new program from Riv which I think is
brilliant. Mark Nobilette is going to do some frames kind of in-between the
current styles and original, and will be offered as completes with Joe Bell
paint (Riv's color, geometry and parts choices) for around $4000.
If the Rat Trap Passes will fit, there is really nothing else like them. I run
mine at 25psi whether paved, unpaved, loaded, or unloaded (Max rider + gear
weight = 200lbs), and rarely get flats despite soldering on with tubes.
Off-road, 20psi does feel nicer, but has subjected me to pinch flats

Also, in case it comes across otherwise, this isn't meant to imply any
negativity towards the current lineup as it is - we just all have our
preferences, right? Certainly one of the things that's made Rivendell what it
is all these years is not worrying about too many other people's opinions!

Cool. That price is right in line with other top builders like Dave Kirk
and Dave Wages/Ellis Cycles! For example, Dave Kirk's Onesto lugged
stainless steel tubing (Reynolds 953) is right there at like $4200. Dave
Wages/Ellis starts at like $3500 and can easily go up pass $7000 for a
frameset!
I don't know if there is any demand, but I would love to see a mid-size
(mid to upper 50's in size) bike with moderate chainstay length, 26" wheels
and a long ETT length. Like an Original 56cm Atlantis stretched 3 to 5 cm
on the front-end and maybe a little in the back.
Probably only missing

" Also note that what Grant is indicating is a complete bike with Nobilette
frame for around $4,000 - not just a frameset."
Correctomundu, $4000 is the cost for a true Riv custom frame (base price). The

The Crust Cargo fork looks a bit weird, but it will ride better than the

For what it's worth, I used the Bobike Classic Junior for many years for my
son. I did not use the large plastic spoke guards and my son's feet never
got tangled in the rear spokes.

folded flat so I could carry stuff on it when
