Cavedale is pretty rough road at times, Looks so different in the
after-the-fire landscape. Great for 37mm or wider tires.
Trinity is much better pavement but has some steep climbs (and fun descents).

That looks great. I’m going to give those roads a try. I’ve wanted to do
Cavedale and Trinity Road for a while now.

All Rivendells, whether they have extra top tubes or chain stays that could
span the Hudson, look right to me. But in my opinion, the Legolas looks the
rightest.

So I bought the stem from Riv right before the end of the year but mounted it
today. I'm still using the sim works get around bars and they are now way up
