No, Benedict, it's not a rear hanger. It only has one tapped end, and no cable
slot. William wa correct, I feel. It's to mount a reflector. It's nicely
machined, however, and could be used to hack something. I won't toss it. You
never know…

Ray,
When you get this installed, can you post pictures, i'm thinking about
switching from a headset mounted hanger to a fork crown one but i'm
worried about clearance at the crown due to all the other things i
have mounted there.

Very good idea! I'll give it a try. It seemed anathema to end at the

I am very fond of Rivendell as a business and I am possibly even more
fond of Rivendell's employees as individuals. Please remember that
when I make the comment below:
How "typically Rivendell" it is to figure out a payment plan that
takes 20% down and then 7 equal payments of
11.4285714285714285
"Why not 20% down and 8 equal 10% payments? Why not 25% down

Where's the fun in that? And you call yourself a "recreational
mathematician"! What's your average rate of furlongs per fortnight
when riding?

I stand corrected.. BIG Gov't. The kind that stifles all creativity,

Dear William,
Computers? Strictly for amateurs.
We have abacuses, slide rules, and No. 2 pencils at Rivendell, and
we're not afraid to use them.

Also, can anyone confirm that the "brushed silver" longboards come
without stripes? They may still be plastic, but that makes them
worthy rivals to the Honjos, in my opinion.
