Congrats on your new SH! To my knowledge the largest hammered Honjos are only 43 mm wide. I have a set on my AHH with 32 mm Marathons. They are just wide enough to be fully functional. My Jack Browns or 35 mm Marathons fit but aren't super functional in that the fender doesn't cover as well

Rex, Congratulations from another recent-new-Riv owner! You're going to love your bike even more when you ride it. I agree with Jim about the hubs: I mounted VO wheels (105 hubs, 130mm) in a Bleriot frame which also takes 135mm. There were no issues whatsoever. I just installed the wheel

I was faced with the same issue when building my Sam. I went with the Phils, 36s, and a 7-speed DuraAce FW with absolutely no regrets. When you amortize the extra $$$ over the life of the bike it amounts to chump change. You have to decide whether a year from now you'll be saying I should have

I've got some 700x32's tucked under VO's 45mm hammered fenders and they fit fine on my Hillborne. I tried to fit a 40mm tire in there and it was a no go so you would need larger then 45mm fenders. I took a measurement of the frame and the front fork right around where my fenders sit and it's

Congrats! Re-spacing 130mm Shimano hubs to fit 135 frames is pretty easy--my local shop switched axles for me for under $20. But if you want a set of MUSA shiny cassette hubs, get a set of White Industry's. Nice hubs and one of the less expensive domestically produced boutique hubsets out
