Thanks so much for the response folks. My original was delayed in showing
up. After the new update I was sized at 54.5. Pre-ordered one and I am
super excited. Now comes the tough but fun part of waiting for the frame
and obsessing over the components !

Sean, thanks for the tip. I may try this next time. For now, a helpful

I've said it before, but I'll repeat: I really enjoy the free education I
get from this list. And the bike pictures.

Adam,
I did the same adjustment with my Microshift bar-end shifter on a recent
ride. There is a spot where it holds cable tension without being overly
difficult to shift.

I forgot to follow up. Tightening the D-ring as suggested here did the
trick of course. I turned it clockwise about a half turn, then backed off
that position just a wee bit during the test ride (in light snow!) and

Hey all!
I recently picked up a Rambouillet. I'm really liking it except for the
rims. It has an Open Pro and a DT RR 1.1. The DT especially is VERY
difficult to mount and unmount tires. Mainly, though, I'd just like to run
35mm tires.
I really like the hubs, and I've built wheels before. I'm
I've got two extra budget seatposts that I don't need. If you've got a

The geometry chart is outdated and riv is currently revising it. You need
to call Rivendell and ask them. My guess is that a 58 cm is 700 C but my
old 2012 was 650 b 路

Now that Ted and Jim are commenting, I feel like this timeline project has
officially made the big leagues haha! Thanks guys! Jim, I was inspired to

that is great insight straight from the horse's mouth as it were.
Rambouillet were all Toyo-built.
The first run (orange) had a mis-positioned rear brake bridge as has been
documented.

The Clem L is an excellent bike for all around riding. I ride it on trails,

I would also check the tension the D-ring . I typically start tightening
all the way , put the shifter under max tension and start loosening it
until it barely holds it in that position. I have found that this gives me
the right balance of tension.

A bit of clarification. The original three models, Road, All-Rounder, and
Mountain, were intended to be of standard dimensions as drawn by Grant.
They were built to-order, though, and they very quickly went from
semi-custom to full custom as customers requested their own unique changes.
