Seth, I really like some of your ideas (the pocket knife just sounds like a Riv thing). And you're right, the headbadge thing WOULD be kitchy. Thanks for all the replies so far. I hope some good comes out of this thread. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this mes

[RBW] Re: Rivendell product wishlist

If one is not opposed to outboard bearing-style cranksets, I'd give a plug for the SRAM Rival, which has a reasonably low Q, unlike the horse-back-riding Suginos. David Estes turned me on to it. I'm using a 50/36 and love it! It used to be available in silver alloy, but current production seems t

A silver aluminum crankset roughly the same dimensions as the Ritchey Cross cranks which I've got on the Hilsen right now. They have a narrower Q than the XD2 (well, it is a double rather than a triple). It should be a square taper design (rather than the ISIS which seems to be angling towards a

I didn't get any takers on this list for my Riv Road a few weeks ago. The frame is on ebay now, it meets most of your requirements. It looks really good, but you probably are ok with missing that one. Len > > > I am looking to buy a frame and fork (or partial build) to set up as a > > randonneur

[RBW] Re: Rivendell product wishlist

I'd go for the jersey, maybe the sticker. I'd add panniers, but that may be in the works, if I recall correctly. And boxy rando bag, which might require the boxy bag rack. On the clothing front, a skull cap style wool liner smaller than the beanie (smartwool has one). Funny, I was going to say

[RBW] Re: September SoCal Riv Ride in Santa Monica

Did anyone get stats on distance, elevation, actual amount of dirt vs pavement (the dirt always seems more because you're going slower!)? Total ride time was around 5 hours for Jerry & I. I'm not normally a stat guy but that ride was epic. dougP On Sep 8, 5:21 pm, David Estes wrote: > Dramatic

And you don't have to ride a Rivendell! On last Sunday's ride, someone counted 3 Rivs among about a dozen bikes. It's a tolerant bunch that way. dougP On Sep 9, 9:48 am, Esteban wrote: > Yea - here's a call out - if you are one of the 25 million or so souls > living in Southern California, an

[RBW] Re: The myth of the all-rounder.

I had at one time felt as though there was something that would fill all my cycling needs, but I have long since abandoned that idea. There are more reasons to have a lot of bikes than there are reasons to have just one, and if they all get used and help supersede trips-by- car, then as far as I'm

When I met my girlfriend, she owned probably about 20+ bicycles. She had two Fat Chances, a Surly Cross Check (one of the first ones, I think), a Schwinn Spitfire, some road bikes, Schwinn Fiesta cruiser, and several other bikes that she'd found at yard sales. The bikes lived in her basement a
