[RBW] WTB: Tosco Bars 25.4, widest variety

[Reid Echols]

Hi folks, 

I'm looking for the widest variety Tosco in 25.4, as it says in the title. 
Riv is sold out until August, but if you've got a set, I'd love to hear 
about it. 

Cheers, 
Reid in Austin

[RBW] FS: Clem L Complete (64cm)

[Reid Echols]

Hello Bunch, 

Thanks to the purchase of a new Gus and the recent Albatrizing of my 
Atlantis, I am thinking it may be time to let the Clem go to someone who 
will ride it more often. It is listed as a complete, built as a 1x10 
cruiser with some nice upgrades (fillet-brazed Bosco Bullmoose bars, 
Velocity Cliffhanger wheels, tubeless Compass tires, Brooks saddle, NOS 
Gipiemme seat post, etc.). It’s a big bike: under 6’ 2” or so probably need 
not apply. This bike is a true magic carpet; rides smoothly and 
surprisingly spry-ly, built to last a lifetime.

I'm asking essentially the retail price for a new Clem complete locally 
($1650), which seems fair given the upgrades. However, for the RBW folks 
I'm willing to go a bit lower or entertain offers. Shipping will, as you 
might expect, be expensive, but I'd split professional pack and ship for 
the right buyer (and to support my LBS). 

Photos here 
<https://drive.google.com/open?id=1spVUCOUu-EhECsrlKM8OSOy7ewD2KJFo>, but 
please let me know if this wonky new interface doesn't work. If you are 
unable to DM, my email is just my first and last name, all lower case, at

[RBW] Re: Tubing between Clem H, Atlantis

[Reid Echols]

Hey Jason, I had a similar problem on the higher end of the size spectrum: 65 H 
was too big for comfort offroad, 59 too small. My solution (and on I think that 
would work well for you, if you ever want a rough stuff bike) was the Clem L in 
“my” size (64). All the standover, but enough front center to ride confidently 
offroad (I think all things being equal that a larger bike nearly always rides 
better offroad for that reason). My latest Clem nails it in the fun/fast/sturdy 
pie chart.

[RBW] Feeler: 62cm Appaloosa

[Reid Echols]

Hi folks, 

I’ve been riding and enjoying it for a while, but a recently acquired 68cm 
Atlantis has me considering parting with my 62cm Appaloosa in blue. Probably 
just the frameset but I can probably include some extras if you need something 
to get the build going? I see that Riv didn’t do a 62 in the latest run, or in 
the upcoming Sam batch, so if you’re looking, let me know. I’m thinking in the 
neighborhood of $1000 shipped.

I’ve had the same issues. I managed to get my Paul motolites to go under the

[RBW] Re: Lighten Up: Clem Edition

[Reid Echols]

When I swapped the stock tires on my old Clem for thunder burts I think I lost 
a good 3-4 pounds, and in a place that really affected the way it feels while 
riding. Cheapest/easiest place to lose weight (besides the “engine”) is getting 
a lighter set of tires, and maybe, as has been suggested, wheels.

[RBW] Re: Cheviot and A Homer Hilsen?

[Reid Echols]

I don't know about each other, but they'll both certainly draw a lot of 
compliments from bystanders (even from 6+ feet away)!

In seriousness, yes; provided they're set up differently enough from each 
other. Cheviot as a commuter with racks and swept-back bars, Homer with 
drops, for example. Rivs have the bug/feature of being versatile enough 
that you can make them very similar to each other, or very different. 

If you want more "spread", sub one of those for a Riv that'll take 50+mm 
tires and cantilevers. 

My thoughts from quarantine,

[RBW] Re: A Glorius New Bike Day! (Not for me, for once)

[Reid Echols]

She loves it! Very quickly noted the lively feel and smoother turning than her 
previous bike, a very solid and dependable Trek mixte with disc brakes. It’s 
truly a stunning bike to look at, and in wonderful shape despite its relative 
age. 

We’re keeping the triple while she tests out different ratios, then will likely 
go down to a single ring and bashguard at some point. 

Now the only problem is that I’m jealous! Any 64cm Gloriae or Wilburies out 
there? :)

Re: [RBW] 69 cm A Homer Hilsen for $1100 on eBay (not mine)

[Reid Echols]

It’s the Goldilocks dilemma, Mark :) 

I could set up most of them to be most things, but I like bikes set up for 
specific things. If Homer is fast enough, it’ll be a drop bar quick bike that 
fits me a bit better than the Ram. If not, and it clears my preferred tire, 
it’ll take the Sam’s commuting gig. Not the worst problem to have to solve...

Re: [RBW] 69 cm A Homer Hilsen for $1100 on eBay (not mine)

[Reid Echols]

Hi Mark, 

We will indeed, if it ends up being too large. I had the seller send me a 
photo, though, and it looks like he was measuring to the lug point for the 
67cm number. Center to center is spot on at 65, to my eyes. At the price I 
offered, I figured it was worth the risk, so we shall see what we shall 
see. 

The trick now will be to decide whether I sell the Sam or my Ram if the AHH 
works out...

I’ll agree with Julian, and as a bargain hound that’s exactly the kind of 
listing I look for. May well pay for it on this one (or another in the future), 
but in my experience Rivs hold their value fairly well when presented and 
described accurately (and, perhaps, with a bit of the RBW romance). 

Look for parts from said Homer here soon, and perhaps a 64 Ram...

[RBW] Re: Evolution of Riv SS Designs?

[Reid Echols]

Thanks for the shout-out Brian! 

I can confirm that I'm running 43c Gravelking SKs in my Silver QB, and echo 
Patrick's statement that that's all I'd expect to fit. It does limit the 
forward/backward range on the dropout to what I would estimate is a 6-tooth 
differential (based on almost no solid information). Gorgeous bikes, 
eminently practical.

Re: [RBW] Re: The last of the phenomenal Clem H’s

[Reid Echols]

Not designed for it, but I for one (and others I know of) have run 650b on 26” 
frames with no real problems, other than higher bb/slightly reduced tire 
clearance. Even the cheapest Shimano b brakes have plenty of vertical 
adjustment to make such a thing happen. So, not “authorised” but likely 
possible to make that conversion (as opposed to the other direction, 700c to 
650b, which is much more difficult with a canti frame).

Hey folks, this one might be a catch and release for me. Less than 10 miles on

shipping. It’s a wonderful bike, but riding just a bit on the small side for 
me, and riding it alongside the Appaloosa has me convinced on Grant’s long stay 
philosophy, at least in my size frames.

[RBW] New vs. old Homer geometry, ride characteristics

[Reid Echols]

If you want fast road riding, the Homer isn’t going to ride much different than 
the Sam (in my experience with bigger sizes of both models, anyway). The 
Rambouillet I have feels quite a bit more lively than my Waterford Homer did, 
set up with the same wheelset and 38mm compass tires. 

Honestly long stays on my Appaloosa don’t seem to affect the ride nearly as 
much as which tires I choose to run. It even feels a bit springier than my Sam 
did (perhaps due to the length and my 215lbs or so of rider weight).

[RBW] Re: Make my AHH look less tempting!

[Reid Echols]

I've traveled all over the UK with a bike and never even had a bag stolen 
off of it. Just be smart locking it up, and maybe grab a cable lock or two 
for wheels and accessories. Honestly if you're not in London (where 
pro-thieves operate), you're probably fine. Would be a shame to mess with 
the beauty of a Homer. 

If you're concerned, you could always get a (quite cheap) bike insurance 
policy. Annoying perhaps to have to order another bike, but they do cover 
replacement value and sometimes even renting while you wait for a 
replacement to arrive. 

I've also got to get a seatpost binder fixed on that Hanford, so if you 
wanted to buy it back and just leave the paint marked up for the time 
you're in the UK that would be great camouflage I'd imagine ;)

Re: [RBW] Re: daily post ur riv

[Reid Echols]

Thanks Mike! This is a 64cm, and the tires are Compass 38s (which run 
narrow, I believe). Plenty of clearance, could probably get fenders on if I 
used centerpulls.

[RBW] FS: Mustard Clem H 59cm complete

[Reid Echols]

Hi folks, 

This one’s a catch and release for me, I’ve decided to keep my Appaloosa 
instead. It’s a mint condition (I can’t find a scratch on it) complete, stock 
from Riv with Bosco bars. I’ll include a brown Brooks B17 saddle and grip king 
pedals (my only aftermarket additions) in asking price. $1100 plus packing and 
shipping at the LBS, or $1000 without saddle/pedals. Bike is located in Austin, 
TX. 

Pictures to come when I get a bit more time.

Thanks,
Reid in Austin

[RBW] WTB/ISO 64 Clem L, Rosco MTBubbe, other mega mixtes

[Reid Echols]

Hi folks, 

I know the Gus/Susie are coming, and that there may be a Clem or two left 
this August, but I just wanted to see if any early adopters out there are 
looking to sell a used frameset in anticipation of these releases? I'd need 
a big 'un, and the new frames are out of my budget at the moment (and 
honestly I think I'd be just as happy with an older one). 

Thanks,

[RBW] Re: Seeking Rivendell owner in Austin, TX

[Reid Echols]

Hi Matthew, 

If you came to coffee outside (follow @coffeoutsideatx on instagram for 
times and places) on a Friday morning, odds are you'd meet someone with a 
59 Clem. I'm often there with my 62 Appaloosa, and there are a few other 
Riv riders who attend fairly regularly. Having ridden the 59 Clem here in 
town (and owned a 65 Clem for a while), I'd imagine the fit will be just 
fine. I'm 6 ' 4" and the 65 Clem was on the big side. 

Hope to see you out there sometime, 

Reid in Austin

Re: [RBW] PSA: Bikeinsights.com: great geometry resource

Also a tall guy with those concerns! I know they’re constantly trying to work

is to build such a useful resource that manufacturers and retailers will have 
incentive to provide complete info.

[RBW] PSA: Bikeinsights.com: great geometry resource

[Reid Echols]

Hi folks,

Mentioned it in another thread but figured I’d replicate here for all and 
sundry: 

https://bikeinsights.com/ is a one-stop shop for geometry comparisons among a 
staggering range of bikes and makers, including Riv. I’m not affiliated, but I 
do occasionally ride with one of the founders (Dan/@hobocross). It’s saved me 
from making several impulse purchases, but encouraged several others, so use at 
your own risk...

[RBW] Drop Bar Appaloosa's?

[Reid Echols]

I’m running mine with Crust Towel Rack bars right now—it’s very comfy, but I 
should probably be on a 64cm Appaloosa (if they existed) so the long TT is less 
of an issue. I’ll post a photo later on if I get a chance. I found drops made 
it feel a good bit “faster”.

[RBW] Re: MTB Hunqapillar questions

[Reid Echols]

I use the fairweather bullmoose bars with an adapter on my Appaloosa, and 
find that slightly less sweep/rise and more width compared to the Riv 
version is ideal for trail riding for me. Just another data point, I'm sure 
all of the options described above would work well, too. 

Here's a photo of the setup I ran a while back (transitioning to Crust 
drops now):

Hey thanks Tom. It's a constant work in progress, like Rivs tend to be. 

I honestly don't remember. Maybe Sierra Trading Post? I bought a couple 
because if I remember correctly they were quite cheap, and double walled. I 
use the other one to take hot water for coffee outside if I'm feeling to 
lazy to bring the camp stove. 

Have some Billie bars on the way to see if I can get a little less rise, 
and I also have some Crust Towel Rack drops to try out sometime.

[RBW] Re: 3x9 brifter recommendations? (Sam Hillborne 62cm, Tektro r559, noodles)

Were the bars on his last bike that long of a reach (those look like 
Noodles or similar). In my experience, brifters work much better/are much 
more comfortable with shorter reach modern bars. The Soma HWY One (and VO 
clone of it) is one of the only games in town for that in 26.0 and silver.

[RBW] WTB: 61cm Roadini frameset

[Reid Echols]

Hi folks, 

Just curious if anyone has a tall Roadini they're looking to move on, as 
I'm currently short a roadish bike in the stable. Funds are a bit tight 
with a recent move, but I thought I'd see what's out there (and see if any 
opportunities for mutually interesting trades might be afoot--the parts bin 
runneth over). 

If you have something in the same spirit (and are in the 96+ PBH range), 
let me know--if nothing else it's fun to look! 

Thanks, 
Reid in Austin

[RBW] SKS fenders secu clips

[Reid]

Hello all,

I have SKS fenders on a Clementine and the front fender has the plastic 
security clips holding the struts to the fork braze on. A branch jumped up 
between the tire and struts and the clip did just the right thing. However, 
now I can't get the clips to snap on to the struts again. How do I apply 
enough pressure on the clips to make them hold on the struts? Thanks for 
any ideas.

[RBW] FS: 65cm Waterford Homer

[Reid Echols]

Hi folks,

The move is close upon us, and I need to thin the herd a bit. This 
almost-shamefully-clean Homer is likely looking to be, er, re-Homed, so to 
speak. 

It’s an absolutely gorgeous bike, with a classic Riv ride quality and lugs for 
days. I’ve got it kittednout to the nines, with Paul racer brakes, H plus Son 
TB14 polished rims, dura ace shifters, Sugino cranks, etc. It’s nigh-perfect, 
if I may say so. Photos available here, and more on request: 
https://www.instagram.com/p/BrQ_X_iF-Ww/?utm_source=ig_share_sheet&igshid=1miw0zv2c07bu

I’d be happy to sell the frameset for $1000 plus bikeflights shipping. The 
complete has some parts I’d like to maybe keep, but I would let it all go at 
around $2000 plus professional packing/shipping. So, get a complete MUSA Riv 
for less than a new frameset. 

Thanks for your interest, happy to answer any questions. 

Reid in Austin

[RBW] Re: FS: Hanford Custom (in the Riv / Compass tradition)

[Reid Echols]

Just a quick note to say that Eric was a model seller, great to work with 
and meticulous in his packing of the frame. Simon at Hanford was also very 
helpful, identifying the tubing and dropouts for me, along with a couple 
more odds and ends. 

This is a real beauty of a frame; can't wait to get it built up. I'll try 
to post some photos when it's all ready to go.

Would a Crust scapegoat allow for a fixed setup? I know it’s a decidedly

[RBW] Re: Appaloosa/Sam

[Reid Echols]

Hi Dave, 

I've had both, and am around your height. I rode both for fitness, camping, 
and fun, and you really can't go wrong. My 64cm Sam might have been a bit 
"sportier" but that was likely as much a factor of the drop bars and light 
wheels as anything. My 62 Appaloosa is a touch more versatile, and 
excellent with a load in the back or front in ways the Sam was not (past a 
certain weight, say 5 lbs or so of cargo). I'd go with whichever you can 
find that fits and is a decent deal (or that has a color you like). The 
Appaloosa is my pick on any kind of mixed surface/gravel, as the long stays 
really make it stable and fun when the dirt gets a little loose. I sold the 
Sam, but got a Hilsen, which is that bit sportier than either of them, so 
you might consider that, too if your major need is a road-ish bike.
