Well, I'd read hemorrhoid cream ads if you wrote them. Since discovering 
Rivendell online I have soaked up all your words on websites, Readers, books, 
wherever they were. I cannot wait for the next book, and chances are there's a 
whole lot of other folks who feel exactly as I do. Self-promote away!!!

 Sugino xd2 crank, the albastache bars, the fly 6 light, albatross bars,

The rest is still for sale.  I have had several ask about the seatpost and 
I guess the first to say they will take it is the fairest. (sorry Daniel) 
If it falls through I will let y'all know.

Re: [RBW] Re: book of possible interest to Rivendell riders

[Patrick Moore]

Addison: speaking of fountain pens. I'm certainly no collector, but I like
fountain pens because they're the only writing instrument that allows me to
write clearly (sort of; my handwriting is very bad) without my hand
cramping, or else, without the point sliding all over the paper. The
"glide" and the resistance are in just the right mix.

But my experience, except for brief ownership of a Parker 51 which my
daughter dropped nib first on a tile floor, has been with cheap fountain
pens.

This is what I have:
https://www.amazon.com/Lamy-Safari-Fountain-Pen-Charcoal/dp/B0002T401Y/ref=zg_bs_1085704_4/160-5052302-7745938?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=G7K36TEM9SN2BXAFK1JN

In my limited experience, this writes very well. But in the cheap category
(say, under $100,) can I do better? How will a cheap but better pen write
compared to this? And if I have to pay more than $100 to get noticeably
superior writing qualities, how much more?

Thanks, Patrick

[RBW] WTB: 68cm+ Riv or Rivish Complete or Frameset

[Jeff Schmidt]

All-

I am in the market for a new all purpose bike.  I've always loved what Riv 
has to offer and I thought I would see if anyone had a used frameset or 
complete for sale before I go the new route.  So, anyone have a 68 
Quickbeam, Romulus,or AHH for sale?  I've seen the 67 AHH on ebay already. 

Thanks!

[RBW] Re: WTB: 68cm+ Riv or Rivish Complete or Frameset

[Kieran J]

I believe the Romulus was only made to 63cm (?). The big bike equivalent 
was the Redwood/Rambouillet, which came in 68cm sizes.

Tire clearance on the AHH is substantially greater than any of those.

[RBW] sierra to the sea 2017

[ted]

Hey all,

On the day registration for the Sierra to the Sea tour opened (and I think 
filled) back in January, I signed up and plunked down my money.
Now the trip is about 2.5 months away. I'm pretty excited about it and I'm 
working on my fitness, bike (AHH) details, and what stuff to bring.
I believe some folks here have done this ride in years past. If they, or 
anyone else for that matter, have any advise or suggestions to pass on I'd 
appreciate any input. Also if any of you all are doing it this rear that 
would be cool to know too.

thanks
Ted
