sometimes use that for my 15 mile commute to work. It is perfect for the

Hello group!
I recently had my baby, a rivendell Atlantis stolen out of my back yard. I rode
this baby on an 8k mile tour around the country, but as of late had used the
bike mainly as a commuter and a bike to haul my son around in a trailer.
On the bright side, insurance covered some of the
58 Homer on Web specials, 25% off with the new years coupon from the blug. I
think it would do everything you need at a very nice price, and you wouldn't
need to wait on it.

Shimano used to state that the max cog size for either Ultegra was 27t. They
now state 28t, IFIRC. This may be because they now make Ultegra level 11-28
cassettes. Either Ultegra model will comfortably manage a 30t cog - that's the
reason that Sheldon introduced the Harris custom Century
Your dropout geometry plays a role as well. Some dropouts hold the r der
closer to the cogs than others. So it's not a purely inherent property of
the derailer itself.

Hey,
some dumb questions I couldn't find answers to on the interwebs:
1. what length bottom bracket spindle would go on a hilsen with a
double like the sugino alpina? 110?
2. what would it be with a triple like an xd2? 107?
3. Does anyone know how to measure a rear derailler to figure out what
I believe 107 is for the Quickbeam double on Rivendells. I'm using a 113 with
a Sugino Triple on my Hilsen.

No photos, but just finished about 32 miles on my Quickbeam. Didn't ride a
Hilsen yesterday though. Sigh.
Your ride looked like a beaut. Mine was more urban, but it did take me around
Diamond Head which is always fun (if crowded); great view.

before and it really didn't want to accommodate fenders. I think Grant
uses fenders with 40s on his Hilsen but it sure looks tight. What
about with Supremes? Do
