Yup. Buncha Suntour XC Pro parts on it. The crank is indeed beautiful, but a 
triple is overkill for me here in Chicago. Even on rides far out of the city, 
there is really no need for more than a single chainring setup with a wide 
range freewheel/cassette. Feeling like my final build will head in this 
direction.

[RBW] Re: New Bike Day.

[George Schick]

Agree with the others, that is a nice bike.  LIving here in the Chicago 
area I also agree with your statement about the triple - it is way 
overkill.  A lot of the folks on blogs like this one live in very hilly or 
even mountainous terrain where I could see the triple as necessary, but 
around here the steepest climbs are probably those along the Fox River 
valley and they're maybe 1/4 mile long at the most with maybe a max 9%-12% 
grade.

I'm curious about your Noodle bar comment, too.  I've ridden with Noodles 
on one of my bikes for about 8 years now and although I like the fact that 
I can position the brake levers in such a way that the upper bend on the 
bars is close to being even with the brake hoods.  But I do not care too 
much for the "randonneur" bend along the top flats.  After riding for a 
while that slight upward bend seems to bother my wrists.  Wonder if you've 
had a similar experience.

I don't like the downward bend on tops and into the flats. Feels like my 
hands could slip off if I don't grip tightly, which I'd like to be able to 
have a looser grip mostly. 
I like traditional rando bars that bend up and seem to fit my palm better. 
I have Nitto B132 and B136s that I use. I'm also riding the 44cm VO Course 
bar, slightly wider version than the GB Maes Parallel offerings, and am 
very happy with their room ramps and long drops.

That being said... I feel the wider 46cm is more comfy to me than the 
41/42cm and 44cm that I've tried in the past. But too wide at 46cm for my 
preferences.

Well, Anne, if you're going to have a USB port in the stem, the least you

That is a beauty of a beast, Anne... Congrats.  (Is that a custom or

[RBW] Re: New Bike Day

[Mike Schiller]

that bike came out great Anne,  I've been trying to decide between a 29+ 
bike and a Pugsley myself.  The Krampus and others with 3" tires are great 
trail bikes.  
It should be a blast to ride and great for backcountry touring.  

fyi... I saw a bunch of frames at Curtis Inglis's shop having the splitter 
put in... maybe yours was one?

I love the belt concept, except it can't be broken.  The industry needs to 
lean on Gates to develop a 'breakable' belt... why must this be left to the 
frame mfrs to design breakable (or raised chainstay) frames?

Please tell us more about the frame, Anne; it's radically simple lines are 
beautiful.  Also looks ready for anything, including biking on the moon. 
 Very cool--I am going to use this picture in a summer course--, "On Two 
Wheels," a parallel history of the bicycle and motorcycle.  Thanks for 
sharing; nice to see a revived use of the Thudbuster, too.  I respect your 
"bicycle priorities"!   --Tom  (Miami; yep, beautiful again, but the rains

Let me know I can help you with all kinds of logical reasons to have an

After you have had a chance to us them some more, I would be

design, but the price looks to good to be true.

Andrew,

This VO seatpost is in the mail to me and should be here in a couple
of days. The set back issue is a common one and I'm dealing with it on
my Casseroll right now.

If I like it I'll order another one for the XO-1 and Atlantis.

http://www.velo-orange.com/vogrcrusepol.html

They also have a Nitto Crystal Fellow for a little more that looks
similar in set back.

Nice bike. Mitch

I am using the Velo Orange seatpost on my Sam H. I have a similar long
torso build but with longish femurs so I like to get as far back as
possible. I have my Champion Special almost all the way back and it
fits perfect!!

[RBW] Re: new bike day

[Earl Grey]

Re. Tektro 720s: I have them on my Sam, and I think they are great.
Easy to set up, good modulation, good stopping power; they are awesome
at the price. If all you did was technical singletrack downhill, you
might want something with more mechanical advantage for less hand
strain after hours of braking, but for an all-rounder, they are
perfect. Functionally as good as my Campy high profiles, easier to set
up, but not as jewel-like, though perfectly fine looking, except for

I have the VO seatpost on my 20 year old beater that needed more
setback with a Brooks, and it's a beautiful post that works great.
Would like to get a Nitto at some point, but I think this one has more
setback than any of the Nittos except the lugged "Wayback".

[RBW] Re: new bike day

Velo Orange has a nice $48 seatpost that they specifically made for
Brooks setback.

I agree with your assessment of the Tektro's being kinda wimpy, esp in
the rear.  I was going to experiment with a different pad on my orange
56cm Sam.  Otherwise, I have a set of Paul's I might put on it
instead.

A cheaper seatpost with decent setback is the Kalloy Uno SP-267.  Am
using one on my non-Riv touring bike.  Tougher to find in silver, but
Universal has them in stock.  (Probably an LBS could order it too.)
http://tinyurl.com/ycf3u44

Have also been using the Tektro 720's on my Hillborne since the first
build.  Have had no problems with stopping issues.  Besides pad
changing, might want to experiment with the height of the straddle
cable.

I love the details. When you look deeper you see all the things that were 
deliberate choices and each of them has a reason behind why that part 
instead of another. It's an evolution of your cycling in its details.

I said the same to Leah when she unveiled her little pony. Building a bike 
is telling a story about your path in bicycling. Your experiences shaped 
the choices and it's rewarding when you look at a part and it triggers all 
the memories of previous parts and bikes and rides that brought you to this 
component.

[RBW] Re: New Bike Day!

[LeahFoy]

I love new bike stories! Thanks for posting this one. This Bleriot will not be 
a garage queen, it's going to be used every single day just as Grant intended - 
how wonderful! And after a week on his Bleriot, Dan will believe that no other 
bike will do. I am just a bit envious of both Dan's excitement and the fact 
that Dan lives somewhere that his bike can be used for most/all of his 
transportation needs.

[RBW] Re: New Bike Day!

[dougP]

Dan:  

Welcome to the group & congratulations on getting such a perfect bike.  
It's so wonderful when any bike can transition from one rider to another, & 
especially such a win-win-win (I'm counting Amit's involvement as a win 
too!)  

Amit:

What a great story & how satisfying to be able to connect someone who needs 
a bike with someone who has one for them.  I'm sure Eric is pleased that 
it's going to a good home.  I especially love the third paragraph where you 
describe the ride & the smile like he wasn't sure what just happened.  My 
wife had the same reaction the first time she rode her Atlantis.  At 5'-2" 
not much fits her, and she was test riding just to humor me.  5 minutes & 
she came back with big eyes & said "I've got have this bike...now!".  
Rivendell's just have that magic.  Amit, you are now officially a 
"Rivendell Enabler", bringing joy to the bicycling world.

[RBW] Re: New Bike Day!

[Daniel Woods]

Thanks for the amazing introduction, Amit. And thank you Eric for the 
amazing wheels!!! 

The Bleriot is a game changer. It really is. Having said that, I absolutely 
love my Motobecane and I intend to keep it. 

My being forced into cycling as part of my move out here to the West Coast 
has undoubtedly changed my life for the better. 3 years later and 20 lbs 
lighter I am a full-fledged ride-aholic. 

It is an incredible feeling to have such a sweet ride. Thank you all for 
your warm reception. I am so grateful to be part of this club!

Amit, I should remind you that this is now the second time you've had a 
story just like this, Bleriot and all.  The first time was back here with 
George!  And...Amit is a *serious* Rivendell enabler, to use dougP's term. 
 He's done it to me a few times :-).

 Hi Everyone!

 Here's a cheerful story. Please give a warm welcome to my dear friend 
 Dan Woods!

 Dan first moved to California and sold his car 3 years back - so he's 
 been a full time bicycle commuter and loves to ride in general. He 
 currently rides an aluminum frame "Motobecane" that's too big for him, a 
 hand-me-down that was originally purchased on BikesDirect.com. He loves 
 his 
 bicycle dearly, despite problems with everything ranging from brakes, 
 crankset, headset, handlebars, brakes and shifters, etc. We did a complete 
 overhaul and replaced everything on his bike 6 months ago.

 A few days ago I saw the message re: Bleriot for Sale posted by Eric 
 Norris. I contacted Eric on behalf of Dan and asked him if the bicycle was 
 still available, worked out pricing and pitched the idea to Dan, who was 
 all for it.

 Dan and I drove to Eric's house yesterday to check out the Bleriot. It 
 was the first time Dan had ridden a quality bicycle. He pushed off, rode a 
 while and returned with a smile on his face like he wasn't sure what just 
 happened - was he supposed to feel this good on a bicycle? Was this too 
 good to be true? Should he even be smiling or take this moment for 
 reflection and be serious? It was awkward. And joyous to behold.

 While Dan was riding this bicycle it looked like the bike and him were 
 made for each other - it was BANG ON PERFECT. Wow. We made a few quick 
 adjustments to the saddle and handlebar height, took a tour of Eric's 
 incredible bicycle collection (phew, maybe the nicest bicycles I've ever 
 seen in one place!), settled on payment and drove back. I was going to 
 drop 
 Dan off to his apartment but he asked if we could go back to my house so 
 he 
 could ride home. I obliged, gladly.

 After a few fender adjustments, reinflating the rear tire and a quick 
 seat post adjustment he was on his way.

 Dan's text messages to me over the last 12 hours are:

 "Amazing#!!!:%/6/=%/" "So fast. So smooth" "Serious style"

 I asked him if he was going to sleep with his bicycle and he told me 
 "That's None of Your Business!"

 Dan rode his bicycle to work this morning, and instead of locking it 
 outside his building like he normally does the Bleriot is in his cubical 
 with him. He sent me a picture.

 He says this bicycle is a blessing and that he loves it.

 Anyway, I just wanted to take a few moments to introduce Dan to the 
 Rivendell Owners Bunch, congratulate him on his new ride and wish him a 
 lifetime of safe, happy and amazing adventures riding his new bicycle!

Thanks Steve, I hope your vision are correct. Looking forward to some off

One of the unfortunate aspects of surgery is that pain feedback tells you 
how much is too much! But of course, we continue to find the edge of what 
we love until it hurts too much! 

Didn't see a build list (not that I see that well), but wondered what 
pedals those are?

Cheers and Happiest of New Years,

[Kellie]

Hi Bill: pedals are from VP Components; I think they sell them at 
Rivendell, but you can get them many places. For those that are interested, 
the build is:
Dia-Compe levers
SR One-at-a-Time shifters (love them, super crisp shifting and the 
ratcheting gives lots of feedback) mounted inside
Nitto Choco handlebar
Paul's neo-retro brakes (love all Paul's brakes)
Velocity Cliffhanger rims (both tire and rim tubeless ready for any desert 
adventure)
Schwalbe Thunder Burt tires. Love them even more than the RockNRoads, 
quieter on street
The rest is pretty standard Riv build except I have to say I LOVE THE ALTUS 
RD; great shifting paired with the SR. Not mounted yet in this photo, Nitto 
R14 rear rack, Supernova head and rear light, and hopefully a Saddlesack to 
come.

That's a Waterford made Atlantis, right? Looks like a 62, based on the 700c 
wheels and single top tube. I'd order that same bike today, if I had the 
money! Nuthin' to dislike on that bike, and lots to love.

Rad!

I'd be interested to hear your impressions/motivations for the switch, 
since I--perhaps foolishly--tend to think of the Hunqapillar as >= Clem. 
Goodness knows no one needs a reason for a new bike, just wondering.

[RBW] Re: new bike day!!

[Adam Leibow]

Joe - these tires are amazing, though I am much more careful around glass 
cause they have 0 thickness or protective layer. That being said my GF has 
the rat trap passes and rides everything I do and barely flats, if ever. 
And actually the bullmooses are growing on me, though they still feel 
slightly stretched forward. 

Mike - The Hunqapillar is an amazing bike, & I'll buy another one some day. 
I sold it cause I always felt it a bit small, and had come to appreciate 
the more upright, big-frame feel of my Cheviot, even offroad. The Clem 
affords even more standover, tire clearance, and frame flex than the 
Cheviot (all good for offroad), and I also made a couple hundred bucks 
selling the Hunq and buying a Clem. That's it in a nutshell.

[RBW] Re: new bike day!!

[ctifusion]

I love the black rims and the tires. I have about 200 miles on a set and they 
are proving to be a great 700c version of the RTPs. I also was worried about 
the RTPs and flats but i have at least 2000 miles on a set with only one flat. 
The 700c x 55s seem to me to have even more rubber.

Enjoy the great build!

[RBW] Re: new bike day!!

[Surlyprof]

Congratulations, Adam.  I wouldn’t worry too much about those Compass tires.  
Maybe I’ve been lucky but I’ve been riding Barlow Pass ELs for over 2 years 
without a flat.  Like you, I started riding them very timidly.  But, I was 
enjoying the ride so much that I started riding them everywhere.  I probably 
ride gravel 25% of the time on them and they’ve performed brilliantly.  Enjoy 
the ride.  I bet both the bike and the tires can take it.

I don't know anything about Compass tires - in spite of having some on my

for a mostly-pavement Clem with 650B?

I love 650Bx48 on the Clem - tried 650Bx2.35 Schwalbe Big Ones and just 
didn't care for the handling, even if they rolled well. My Clem has WTB 
Horizons, but I'm sure the Compass 48mms (Switchback Hill?) are great.

Ooh, I just realized I have the tires I need. I'm in the process of converting 
my Crust Lightning Bolt to more of a trail bike with riser bars - I'm not a 
drops in the dirt guy - so I can put that bike's GravelKings (smooth version, 
tan wall) on the Clem and buy knobbier stuff for the Crust. Solved!

Very nice Adam. You may want to consider the Billie bars. More swept back 
than the Albatross and seem like they would be good with the longer ETT.

[RBW] Re: new bike day!!

[Adam Leibow]

thanks for the words everybody!

Joe, the way Compass names their tires, one name=one size, so antelope 
hill=700cx55, switchback hill=650bx48, rat trap pass=26"x2.3, etc etc. 
there are plenty of 650b options. 

Justin, go for it. only perceivable difference is long wheelbase versus 
shorter wheelbase, no?

Lester, I have the Billie bars on my Sam Hillborne and I've thought about 
getting Wavie bars for it (when they come out), and putting the Billie bars 
on this. We'll see what happens.
