My standard setup is a 56.5 or 57 cm top tube, bar ~ 3 cm below saddle, and
a 8 cm stem. When I got my second Riv custom and found I needed an 8 cm
stem to get the bar where I wanted it, I asked Grant or Mark if 8 cm was
too small -- ie, not in the normal range. My respondent responded
Of course, the same saddles -- original issue Flites -- and the same hoods
-- non-brifter but aero Shimanos. Obviously with different saddle and hood
shapes this measurement might change considerably although your overall
saddle setback and bar reach remained the same.

Y'know, with this Goop idea -- a tube of that stuff, or the largely
equivalent Shoe Goo is always a part of my garage tool kit -- I may just
try Anton's idea for my rear light, which is rack mounted. I run my rear
wire along the top tube since it doesn't make sense to run it the long way
'round
You can glue the wire directly, I've been doing that as well. I used to
think I'd have to be able to remove and replace the wire as needed and not
have to re-glue it, but that's never been the case.
I would avoid the peripheral tubing on the rack if the pannier is going to
cause rubbing
Wow, Anton that is super clean looking. Very nice work and thanks for
sharing!

Hey Anton,
I really like your wiring ideas, and this topic is timely for my
winter project as well. So, I'm curious how you thread your wiring
through those 3mm ID tubing and heat shrink pieces. My light has
those spade lugs for connecting to a Schmidt hub, and I'd like to have
the capability
Mike,
I used the same glue for the aluminum tubing, but I learned when I removed
the chromed rack for another bike and disassembled the wiring, that the
glue doesn't hold as tenaciously to the smooth chrome as it does other
substrates. It seems to bond aluminum and plastics extraordinarily
I love that zip-tied wooden dowel light mount!!!
Genius!

In 2009, I went on a Marin County exploration ride (2 days by myself, first
time up there), and while having a great time, I happened to run into the
Farewell 2009 ride organized by Esteban. We had never met in person but knew
each other and each other's bikes from the Internet, so I joined
Hey there bunch. Hope you all are having a nice holiday season. I've been
saving my ducats and am now officially in the market for my first
Rivendell. I've ridden a 62 cm Sam on road and trails and it felt great so
thats my starting point.
60 or 62 Sam would be great although I wouldn't mind
Nice!
Blessed with glorious weather and, I must say, stellar company!
And a classic route to sample this neck of the woods.

A while ago, I brought the AHH bars 10 mm's closer while running Noodles.
Mostly to match what I realized was an unintentional difference with the
Quickbeam setup. At the time, I remember feeling like that difference
should not have mattered, but it was the final tweak to the AHH setup which
Love, love, love it!

I have an orange 58 that I love. I bought this wanting to compare the ride
of the 56 and 58 but haven't built it up, and now I'm getting ready to move.
In the next 30 days, I will be in SF (where I live now), LA (where I'll be
visiting), and Portland (where I'm moving). I can deliver to any of

This is a great bike. I am just going in a different direction. It will

Thanks for the advice. It is a drive side brazed-on eyelet. I would have
simply used a through-bolt and locking nut, except that there is so little
clearance between the chain and the eyelet. Had not thought of the obvious
solution of reversing the head of a button bolt, and will give that a
I have a lightly used Brooks B17 2012 World Traveller saddle that I've been
thinking about posting on Craigslist. Little too flashy for me. It's got
a few scuffs but it hasn't been broken in. Based on the going prices, I
thought about posting it for about $140-150. Thought I'd offer it up
Longer bolt with a nut on the other side. A Nyloc may be too thick. In fact
a regular nut may contact the cogs. I just file the nut and bolt until it
clears. You'll end up with a de facto sheer stop nut.

Nice today in Oakland, Calif.

I think a helicoil is probably going to make the most sense for you unless
there is a lot of meat on that braze on and you can go to 6mm. If you've
never used one before, I would find a friend that has just to make sure as
you don't want to goof this one. For a 5mm helicoil insert, you only

As usual those images are awesome. I especially liked the image of your parents
holding hands superb!
The Mount D overnight is getting my juices flowing for a new year adventure.
Thanks for the share you trickster.
Happy New Year,

Grand adventure! From what I hear of those I know in rural Virginia, it
takes a brave soul to bicycle the back roads! I always love seeing
different people's photos of the same trip. The difference in perspectives
is fun. Did you have a pipe or cigar? That would be a bit like my trip to
Well, it's been three weeks since my blue 58cm Rambouillet was stolen.
I had a couple leads, but nothing ever panned out.
I'd been spending a lot of time on CL/ebay, and found a 58cm (in
orange) that needed a new home. I happened to be visiting family in
Ohio this weekend, and was able to pick
I would send it to Bilenky in Philly. Paint and braze-ons.
