[RBW] Re: BBs Bombadil Build
Thank you, Jim, but this is merely an amalgam of ideas culled from the collective ideas of other Riv owners... that's more a testimony to these bikes and the passion of the people who own them. But I have to say I absolutely savored every moment selecting components and building this bike... and it's not done... it will evolve no doubt. Thanks for helping to provide the energy behind this! (And most of all, THANK YOU to Grant P and the Rivendell gang... you inspire!)

It looks black in the pics, but it's actually dark green... which in dim light looks awesome (like it's black), then in direct light it looks forest green. Michael, I toiled over brakes, and I've been running cantis as my preferred brakes for years... Despite this, (and I love the look of the Pauls) I am actually thrilled with these brakes and am sure I made the right choice.
