Some questions. Do you have fenders? If so, they need to be dealt
with. The "ideal" solution for Honjo type rear fender is to split it up
at the brake bridge with a connector tab. If you don't have one move on.
What kind of shifters? If you have downtube shifters you're already
there. Bar ends or brifters, you need to find a way to separate the
shift cables so that you can remove bar and stem. If you are using
downtube shifter boss cable stops the IRD QR stop will help, and you'll
need cable splitters on the shifter cables.
Cartridge headset? Good. Learn how to undo it and put it back together
and readjust it.
I think Rivs already have split cable stops..
Review the "how to rinko" documents to see what you need to do.

This is where Bicycle Quarterly and Rivendell come together.
I'm sure many of you are Bicycle Quarterly readers, like me. I love
reading especially when their travels involve a Rinko'd bike when they
take the Japanese bullet train to some far off part of the country and
snap the bike together once they get off the train - viola. But those
bikes seem built specifically for that use, and there is little chance
my wife is going to let me head to Japan and purchase a custom built
one for my use. But I am intrigued since I live in DC and Amtrak to
other cities actually is doable.
BTW: I already have a non-Riv S&S coupled Spectrum bike that I take on
plane rides, but that is pain to pack and unpack and then what to do
with the suitcase on a short trip.
So yesterday's email got me thinking: Why can't I Rinko my Ram and
take it to NYC next time I travel? So rather than do actually
research, I thought I'd ask if folks here have done that, what parts
do they use, what are the challenges, and exactly how cool is it to
have a Rinko'able bike?
Thanks for any responses.
