I'd suggest the 700x50 Berthouds. They have a 700x60, also, but that
may require a more creative mounting solution. I've run 700x50 Big
Apples and 700x50 Marathon XR tires on my Atlantis with the Berthoud
700x50 fenders.

It's a tight fit, but
I think you may be able to find what you're looking for at Velo
Orange. Try http://www.velo-orange.com/fenders.html
Good luck.

Can you post a photo? Or tell who made the guide & how it's attached? I'm
still not happy with any of the various set-ups I've tried on my Atlantis.
Perhaps that earlier discussion resonated with Riv.

Greetings. Perhaps this thread has been exhausted, but I received my
new Bombadil frame today, and the bottom-bracket shell had a
screwed-on plastic cable guide rather than the integrated metal
channels on all the other Rivendells I've seen. Perhaps this is the
future direction of the Riv shell.
I do so wish I could join! Some winter ...

There's been quite a lot of discussion about this on this group (just

I'm curious if anyone has any experience with the Grand Bois "Hetre"
650B x 42mm tires available on the VBQ website. Does anyone know if

Great video. I'm in Napa too, but I just brought a Brompton and rode
about 25 miles yesterday, cursing the bike all the way back to the

It does not look unlike the Rock Hoppers and Stump Jumpers from the

I wonder how it would do as a mountain bike. Stout tubing and upward
