The tandem looks great, Tony. We just bought a Bossa Nova this spring from
a neighbor. For now, both of our tandems are set up with kid-back cranks
so that our kids can ride with us. Maybe eventually, my wife and I will
ride together.
We have 32 mm Paselas on the Burley, but I think they're
As long as I've been into bikes I've wanted a Rivendell. Last year I
decided to finally get one but due to financial limitations I chose the
SOMA San Marcos. I have really enjoyed my San Marcos but I want something
with more versatility (bigger tires, more cargo capacity, etc) for rough
roads
Looks like the terrain I used to ride in New Mexico. Thanks for sharing.

I own the VO frame you mentioned, but only have been riding it a month or
so. It's a good bike, maybe even a great bike, but it's no Riv.
Before I knew about the Clem, I convinced myself I couldn't afford a Riv,
and bought the VO on sale in December and then built it up over the last
few months
Day Dreaming about how I would build up a sam. Thinking about why I want
the sam realized it would be for fun long rides. If I'm running errands
I'd use my cheaper bikes. Loaded touring I have a bike for that. Are drop
bars a safer bet for long distance riding? Don't have much experience
I used to have a 63cm campeur and it was great. Very nice fit/finish on the
frame. The only reason I sold it is because I found a deal on my dream
frame - a STT Rivendell Hillborne in orange. Tire clearance on the VO will
be less than you find on the Clem. I don't think you will regret the

Hi Kieran,
On the A23, what are you using for a rim strip? There seems to be some issues
on tubeless ready rims when using thicker rim strips like Velox. I'd recommend
using 2 layers of Stan's tape and then trying again. We have several bikes in
our rental queue with A23s and have had no issues
