Re: [RBW] Re: Bleriot with Middle Ear Problem?

Not yet. I'll probably take it to one of the local shops (the "Bicycle Pro Shop" on Duke Street in Alexandria has some great bike techs) and see if they can localize the problem. On Thursday, October 29, 2015 at 3:59:12 PM UTC-4, Steve Palincsar wrote: > > Have you serviced the headset yet? > >

As others have mentioned I have also been waiting on a frameset. Part of what I enjoy about Rivendell's is the individuality of each bike being set up by each owners preferences. Alain I don't know what components are being put on this complete to invest $2100. I do like the rigidity of the bull

[RBW] Re: Joe Appaloosa geometry

I've never owned a Riv but as a potential future buyer, I strongly prefer the Atlantis/Bombadil/Hunqapillar line of bikes over the Clem and Appaloosa. I have reservations about the super long chainstays but mostly my reservations revolve around the move to designing bikes for bars with huge ri

[RBW] Re: Joe Appaloosa geometry

Chris, last year on the Blug there was a prototype of this that as near as I can tell here plotting it out in Illustrator had the same proportions as the final 62cm Appaloosa, and they actually built it up with an old-school bullmoose and not the bosco-sweepy ones: http://rivbike.tumblr.com/po

Sweet! Glad to hear it Kurt, and nice seeing it again. I just keep remembering that bike whenever the Appaloosa/Clem talk turns to how they need to have sweepy bars ;) I just keep thinking how much I'd rather have that setup with the more mountainy posture. On Friday, October 30, 2015 at 10:57:

Now that, I do like!!! I have to say that Bullmoose handlebars are sort of an end goal for me on my dream bike. Is that a 26", 650B or 700c bike? On Friday, October 30, 2015 at 9:57:32 AM UTC-5, Kurt Manley wrote: > > >

im still not sure what exactly makes this more like a hunq/atlantis/bombadil than a sam hillborne. from my novice reading and riv's 2011 chart, the geometry is almost the same as a sam (excluding longer stays), the prototype looks like a sam and it's replacing the sam in the lineup for now. i u

[RBW] Re: Joe Appaloosa geometry

I'm a bullmoose handlebar lover. But after riding this bosco bullmoose, I think it's better (for me). Ive moved on from drop bars. This Bosco is going to make me move on from mountain bike bars. Keep in mind that your hand position can move from the grips (way back) to a point where they are rig

[RBW] Re: Joe Appaloosa geometry

I thought about this too, but maybe it has to do with tubing? They created a new fork crown, which seems to be made for rougher stuff. The geometry is different than a Sam. Longer wheelbase - longer CS and more fork rake. Lower BB, longer TT. HT and ST seems to be in between the Atlantis and Sa

Awesome! Those canyons with railroad grade road are wondrous to ride! (Is that what Waterton Canyon is, former rail?) I've always loved the handlebars on those Cheviots. Lots of hand positions, if you can get a grip. Cool, rainy rides are always delicious. I just enjoyed the wee ride here (firs
