Re: [RBW] FS: 56cm Rivendell Road - $875
Yes, yes. Paradigm shifts move like glaciers. I get it. I used to ride 23 mm tires at 95 psi thinking it made me faster because of less friction. The race bike culture ruined my enjoyment of riding! Give me width or give me bone rattling vibration. I’m enjoying riding again. Doug -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

Re: [RBW] FS: 56cm Rivendell Road - $875
All later Rivs had wider tire clearances. This was very early in the process when Grant was still battling to build a road bike around ridiculous-short racing brakes, hence the soon-to-be-introduced LongLow, which was a "sport touring" road bike with cantilevers. Then somehow he got Shimano to make medium-reach Ultegra calipers, followed by Tektro long-reach. Btw this all upended what we call these things: Short used to be standard and medium was long.

I'm surprised that 700 x 30 is the widest tire that will fit considering the current design philosophy. Do their current road oriented bikes have the same width limitations?

As a previous owner of this frame, I will add that photos never do justice to the paint job. There is a subtle sparkle in the silver/grey that is hard to capture in a photograph. Also, Chris made our transaction a pleasant experience, like everyone else here with whom I have bought, sold, or traded items.

Hey Chris: Do you know the standover with the 28c tires? And would you be able to meet at a BART station? I'm in SF. I'm crazy for even typing this...

[RBW] FS: 56cm Rivendell Road - $875
Christopher, I did some memory jogging about this frame last night (cuz I dig it even though it's too big for me) and found Jim's links. I'm pretty sure this is a first-gen Waterford Road Standard..scroll down a bit to click on a geometry page. It's actually a 57cm. http://www.cyclofiend.com/rbw/gen1/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

That is so tempting, even though I already have a Rambouillet that is mostly the same that I don't ride enough. Do you know when it was made? Is it a custom, or one of the early production models? Any idea what the seat and head tube angles are? Looks like short reach brakes might be a better fit. The early road standards were built around those, as "standard" reach brakes were unavailable new at the time.
