Hello Patrick, You are good on the name.
I posted a pic of my Rivendell Mountain a bit ago. Probably 2022 after doing Corporate Cycling Challenge in August. I think I posted both on RBW Owner Bunch and IBOB lists. Can probably see it with a search. The Thudbuster Uni-Pivot works well. Been wanting to possibly change out for a Cane Creek Thudbuster ST, but they the new 4G redesign is not tripping my trigger. Would prefer the 3G version. The eeSilk+ seems to be a good alternate option. The other issue is the black anodizing. I would prefer a silver or the dark smoke silver that the limited edition eeSilk initial offer stem came in. My post still works, but just thinking ahead and the parallel movement is an improvement over the initial uni-pivot design. Like I mentioned before, At the time I ordered this I also was a bit enamored with the Softride Beam bikes that were out there. The titanium one Bob Roll raced on, the Ritchey, Breezer, Otis Guy. Going with the Softride stem and Thudbuster suspension post on the Riv Mountain satisfied my desire to go with a beam bike. Makes for a comfortable riding set up. For a ride like RAGBRAI, it sat at the top of my list of bikes to use.
