Thanks so much. I think I'm going to go with Sugarcoat which, you are
correct, is Geekhouse. They're good people and former neighbors of mine. I
like that they are bike-specific in their work, and most importantly,
they're in town so that I don't have to schlep my stuff out to the 'burbs.

Anyone know a good bike shop in/around Santa Cruz, Ca. that would do

Always astounded that many do such a poor job. I can't afford any

Hi all,
I'm new to this Group, and am thrilled to have found you all!
I'm writing to ask for your assistance in finding a Betty Foy to test

I've been lusting over the Betty Foy for a while, but I'm concerned
about buying a bike without having tried it first, because it's a
Nice looking ride, Toshi! Let us know how the Rivet works for you on
longer rides. I have done 200k on a B17, and it was comfy, but I was numb
for a while afterwards (I'm guessing I needed to stand up and move around
more). I currently have a Selle Anatomica on my AHH and have been testing

Sunday, I picked up a new black, Rivet Pearl saddle, which really

I originally had a Brooks Swift saddle on it, but I couldn't get it to
feel right. Perhaps i

I am organizing the Midwest Riv rally, and I don't have a Riv. Toei and Singer
riders, if they exist, are welcome to attend. Frankly, I think we'll have as
many Surly riders as Riv riders. I don't expect much carbon, but you never know.

OK, Ablejack.. I think you're taking this "political correctness"
nonsense a bit too far.
This is a Rivendell Owners Bunch Forum... If we can't proclaim our
enthusiasm for Rivendell bikes on this forum, where can we???
No apologies.
And BTW I love everyone, even you.

Anyone have experience with these racks? I like the idea of being able to
take the pannier supports off when I don't need them and just support by
Berthoud bag, but wonder if its stable once the panniers are mounted.
Seems like it might flex, a lot. Rube Goldberg machine or elegant
solution?
The fine tuning of fit on my beloved 56cm Atlantis has finally reached
the point where I think I need a larger frame. Saddle height keeps

Simple answer - me like! A lot. It really does seem to "disappear"
underneath while riding. Took it out for a 40 mile ride last Sunday, with
a few on gravel roads. Pretty sure I was faster over the gravel than I had
been last year on the Hillborne. Sure, a lot of it is the "new bike smell"
Thanks everyone for the thoughts. Guess for now, am going to keep it as a
single with low-ish gearing (39/17). Hoping to eventually increase motor
capacity to switch to a 16t (which I have sitting in a box).
May eventually try a Dos. But for now, not going to mess with what isn't
broken.

When I got my QB, I asked Riv to mount a Mark's Rack on the rear for exactly

default setting is that if Riv does it that way, it's ok by me.
