Slightly off topic, but I've been using one of these for a year now, and
quite enjoy it: http://www.traildesigns.com/stoves/caldera-ti-tri
Very light, and can burn wood as well as alcohol.

I have a single TT 56, my buddy Paul a double TT 56. I can attest that
the bottle cage braze-ons were lowered to give equal clearance to the
bottle, but you do have to reach a bit lower. The difference in feel
between the frames is un-noticable to us because of differences in
tires and handlebars,
A M6 x 20 bolt should work just fine.

Can you say more about your 3 month adventure on the Great Divide Route?

Another tip: get an extra and keep it in your tool kit. I was once on a ride
and decided to try a new seat height. When I tightened the bolt, I torqued too
much and broke it, meaning standing pedaling the whole way home...

It seems that only the Bleriot is worth more than original retail in
the resale market. Single top tube Hillbornes seem to be worth about
$700-$800 on the resale market. Atlantis and Hilsens and Salukis seem
to go for $1200-$1400. Bombadils do not hold their value well at all,

Curious what price a Legolas would bring... I don't recall ever seeing

Keven at RBW sold his last year. It had a chainstay replaced and was
repainted by Joe Bell. IIRC, it sold for about 75% of retail. There
were only about 80 Leg's made and I think I've only seen one other for
sale. Mine's a keeper for sure.

Not a whole lot but I've seen a few. The small one you are thinking

Newly sensitized to freewheels by the recent discussion here, I noticed a
cache of some at a local bike shop. There are 6 - 8 Shimano 7 speeds,
mostly 14-28 I think with a couple 14-34 widerangers and about 6 Suntour 5
speeds around 14-28. Prices were $20 - $22. No idea if this a find or not
but
Get a new nut while you're at it. The originals are a nylon locknut
(nylok) which after repeated cycles of saddle adjustments will
eventually strip out the threads of both the bolt and nut. I replace
them with a standard nut (not a locknut). They hold just as well in my
experience.

Love the color.
A23's on White hubs? I just built up a set of the same for my Riv

44/28 chainrings? Ultra-compact gearing is a great way to go.
Nive job overall.

Phenomenal bike! Who painted it? That candy metallic is just fantastic.
Glad she's liking it. Will like to hear feedback on the A23 rims when the
data points start coming in.

Here's some data from my buying and selling Rivs if anyone's
interested: (1) new Bleriot f/f at bought at retail, think I sold it
for $500; (2) used but virtually new Saluki f/f: $1,200; (3) used but
great condition Rambouillet f/f: $800; (4) used Quickbeam: I think I
sold the bike for $900 or so;
Rene, I agree with all you said. You said that value COULD go up when
production stopped. Maybe, but it depends on the desirability of the
frame in the first place. And also perhaps in the number produced.
The Rivendell name certainly provides a hedge against depreciation,
but I wouldn't go so f
If William's statement is true, and I imagine that it is, it's mainly
because Bleriots had such a low price to begin with AND that the
pricing on its replacement has taken such a jump. It's too bad that
RBW couldn't have maintained the Bleriot and its pricing for longer.

I bought a 59 cm Blériot frame and fork in very good condition on ebay late
last year, and paid $910. That was the market rate on that day, and I was
almost outbid. I was glad to pay it too, as it is a great frameset.

I know... Wouldn't it be nice if they were automatic collector's
items? I really meant that if there was a high demand at a given point
in time, the price would go up. Reality doesn't quite seem to support
that... yet!
