[RBW] Re: 64 cm Bombadil Arrived!
I went with Rapid Rise when I built up my Sam this summer. The nifty thing about RR is how intuitive it is with bar-end shifters: pull up to shift up, push down to shift down. My other bike is getting the switch to RR soon.

That's a great looking bike! Let us know if you end-up loving, hating, or bring indifferent about the Albatross bars. Enjoy the new ride! How could you not?

Kelly: It's always so much fun when someone takes the time to photo their new Rivendell as they unpack it. They look almost as good in the bubble wrap as they do assembled. Thanks for posting. Great job to get a new bike that's so versatile you can take it right out in the snow! Gotta love those plump tires. dougP On Dec 28, 8:18 pm, Kelly Sleeper wrote: > Well it seems like forever, but in reality it was very quick in arriving. > Even hasd a Christmas Tree and Candy Cane drawn on the box. > > The bike went together flawlessly and the first ride was great.
