Thanks for all of your wisdom, advice, and suggestions!
Special thanks to Jim for the links to the old readers! The story on the BS
Atlantis was illuminating!
I had no clue about the Handsome XOXOs! I've seen them on ebay and CL
before, but never batted an eye at them.
Now, I'll keep an eye out
FWIW, from many years of doing so, I'll second the suggestion (not a
promise or recommendation - disclaimer and all that) that 25.4 stems CAN
work ok with 26.0 bars. But the only ones Ive had scuccess with are
high-end steel stems with a single bolt clamp. They tend to have thinner
steel
And the BXB bag has sold...
All that's left is the littlest bag boy. Get it in Olive while you still
can...

Sorry for the confusion. By mistake I ended up submitting two emails: one
with the picture and one with the price. $1300, includes professional
packing by my LBS. Buyer pays for shipping by Bikeflights.

The original Clem used 26" on the smallest size. I don't ride a frame that
small but I liked that the wheel size changed with every size. Part of me
still wants a Heron or XO or something with a 26" wheel. Its a small part
though.

"what's stopping frame builders from building this sort of cross between
road/MTB on 26 inch wheels?"
Clients not ordering them. That's what's stopping them. A frame builder
will likely build you one if you order it!

There are similar bikes that *can *run 26" wheels due to using disc brakes.
The Velo Orange Polyvalent comes to mind. As much as I love the 26er I
don't see anyone outside of custom builds combining that wheel size and rim
brakes anymore

Great looking bike!
Bridgestone Atlantis was pre-Grant, designed by a Bridgestone employee in
Japan who took inspiration from French constructeurs, so a different kind
of bike than the others you mentioned. There's a Riv Reader article about
it that I cannot find at the moment but will post
Again, thanks much for all the replies and info. I think I'll get the 135
Faceplater. The reason for getting the Nitto Riv version instead of one of
these awesome Ritchie's is I need the extra height.
FWIW, Ron says a 25.4 clamp works with the 26.0 bar if you pry it open just
a touch to fit it
I went from Billies to orthos on my Appaloosa, had to go from a 120 to 130
for the extra sweep. Finding a suitable 26.0 stem was a challenge, ended up
with a Miyata pantographed stem from eBay.

Great weather this year, we were lucky. Roadini road wonderful. The only
reason I am selling it is because (as my wife pointed out) it is the
functional equivalent of my Rambouillet. Doh!

The best parking brake, in my opinion, is the sturdy velcro leg band off my
pants leg. I have it, and don't need it on my leg, since I'm parking my
bike. When I take off the parking brake it reminds me to put my leg band
back on :).
For steer-stopping, I keep a longer velcro strap connected

As a huge fan of the old Ritchey force stems, I'm going to say that it is
very likely that the stems pictured here are designed to accommodate
cantilever brakes, aka with cable stops. The clamp diameter being 25.4.
Also, I have found these stems hold handlebars very well. The issue with

Are those stems with the cable stops 26mm clamp?

Is a 1 bolt clamp is going to be adequate on the ortho? The options for
mounting this bar are almost all troublesome. Oversized clamp with a shim?
Faceplater that’s too short? Undersized clamp? Or the one bolt quill made
for a road bike?
If you’re putting these bars on an 80’s MTN bike with a
Yes, those don't have the required threaded post length with spacers. In
fairness to the pads, the photo shows how short the threaded posts are.
Stuff happens and you ride on.
You'd do better with these that appear to have the required length and
spacers :
