Re: [RBW] Richard Sachs on the original Riv lugs
I think Rivendell lugs are the prettiest on the planet. Rivendell just makes the most beautiful looking bikes on earth. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

Re: [RBW] Richard Sachs on the original Riv lugs
To me, still one of the prettiest lug design ever. It's fancy and playful, yet tasteful. As to timeline, all the early Rivendells used them. Mine was built in early 1999, and was one of the first to use different lugs, with a mix of windows and curls.

I think the road standards...all-rounders and expeditions are plainer., still nice but not RS.were long-lows even around then?

This is very interesting. Which frames were built (are still) with these lugs?

[RBW] Richard Sachs on the original Riv lugs
Richard Sachs posted a short little description today of how the original Rivendell lugs came into being. Turns out Grant commissioned them while he was still at Bridgestone, but Bridgestone USA closed before they were used: http://www.richardsachs.com/site/2016/04/25/the-linger-commission/ Also a cool photo of the prototype HT/DT lug. Supposedly the protos were hand carved from french blanks (thus would need metric tubing) and have extremely wonky angles, so according to RS they can't really be used to make a bike. All the same, I wonder what such a bike would look like! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
