Not really, but it's fun rehashing old stories.

I recall reading in one of the first bike lore books I found at the local
library circa 1970 how pro track racers would wear only thin silk socks to
ensure as close a shoe fit as possibible. IIRC, this book also recommended
ankling and analyzed the reasons for frames becoming soft with use. I've

My impression of the BFC though is that it exists as a mechanism to enable

I mounted this veteran saddle new on my (then new) 1989 custom Bontrager
CX. While I never raced CX, this thing went off and on road for 30 years
before I retired it. It's built like a tank, and despite the "Pre-Softened"
designation on the top, I barely managed to imprint my sit bones into it.
What? Am I the only member in the BFC clubhouse?

The first run used mid-reach (47-57mm) brakes, the current model uses
long-reach like Tektro R559.

Congratulations Leah. Now you have a one of a kind brake set on a custom
color Platy.

I don't know the answer but my assumption is that it is the same geometry.
I sold my Clem so am currently without a Rivendell. I've been riding my
Wabi single speed which I really like. Single speed riding is fun but I
want a geared bike too. The Roadini seems like the best option for me
Does the orange one have a different spec than the new ones? The dropouts are perhaps different? Perhaps tire clearance as well? Just asking. The Roaduno changed my mind. I have a tigged Riv (Clem) and a fillet brazed one (Gus). So if I am to have a (completely unnecessary) third Riv I decided it
I did and have exchanged emails with him. Nice guy and that is a good
price. I'm hoping for one of the green framesets but if one doesn't come
along I may buy that orange one if it's still available. Thank you for the
heads up!

Doug, did you happen to see the 54 for sale on Craigslist, Cincinnati? I have talked to the guy & the price was down from $1,200 to just $950. It’s NOS or new never built or whatever. Looks new & is orange so from a previous batch? I seriously considered it as I could drive to pick it up but
Kinda like alloy rims vs. steel, you'll notice the inertia difference
between a heavy and light crank when climbing.

I will say I was surprised when I weighed my 2 piece Silver crank (double)
vs the White Industries single that I planned to put on my Susie. The
Sliver was over a pound heavier. I think my Susie was under 30lbs but I
never weighed it.
I usually don’t think much about the weight because of
That could be fun! Here’s another view, this time from the air:

I wanted to bump this up one time to see if anyone has a 54 for sale. I
could buy a 50 from Riv but the saddle would be higher than I prefer on
that size.
Thanks,

I've made the switch to urethane tubes, too - used to run latex, but the
stem glue started giving up on them.
One problem with Scwalbe version, the plastic stems give up at the valve
core, which is a terrible reason for an expensive tube to flat.
So far, Tufo are my favorites, with brass

Nice shot Eric
I was thinking about your shots these last couple of months because I've
been hitting the further reaches of Contra Costa County quite hard on
Wandrer. I've had a dozen different angles of Mount Diablo, from San
Ramon/Danville to the south Walnut Creek and Orinda to the West,
