Seat tube angle on Viv’s Riv: The image most likely has a bit of distortion (it
was a quick iPhone pic). The actual angle is 73 degrees.

@Stoker,
Viv’s Riv appears to have a really slack seat tube.
Did she request that?
Nice bike

Thanks - they are Nitto Jitensha B2522. My wife loves the bend and the Rustine

Ah, I see. I had an Electra version of old Dutch bikes (Amsterdam, also crazy
heavy), and it was the only non-recumbent I ever owned that I could reach the
ground on like in your pic.

You're not going to be able to do that with any standard geometry diamond
frame bike that fits you properly. If that's really a requirement you need
a semi-recumbent like a Rans. Or, alternatively, you could reconsider the
idea and learn how to dismount properly at a stop sign, one foot on
I see. You are saying you can’t put one foot down, not both feet

Not sure about selling it, I'm sorting out my difficulty with touching a
toe to the ground first.

Not selling yet, just wondering.

As I walked the 2003 through the crowded aisles of the Corrales Sprout's
this afternoon, I was accosted by 2 strangers who wanted to praise and
inquire about the bike; particularly liked the faux-hammered VO fenders.
One of them was a woman in her, I'd guess, late 30s or early 40s (anyone

FWIW, if you can pedal mid-foot instead of on your toes you can lower the
saddle considerably, allowing at least one foot to tip toe on the ground
when stopped.
If not, many european and Dutch designed city bikes are designed for a one
foot touchdown. Here's a couple links that may spark
Welcome, Cinzaw! As others have mentioned, it is difficult to get the saddle
low enough to do what you describe, at least that isn't built with slack angles
as Doug mentioned, in which case it will likely ride very differently and not
like a Rivendell. I think you may be amazed by how much
That is so cool!
Riv should consider hiring you as a
spokes person. (not wheels)

People sell such bikes here on the RBW Owner's Bunch.
If you still have a copy of the original Rivendell invoice and you have not
made any significant component changes, I would type out those line items.
The invoice will also tell you what size bike frame you have, which is
perhaps the most
Unfortunately bikes really aren't designed for what you're trying to do. If you
can't find a curb at a stop-light/sign to reach your foot out to, then you need
to push your right foot down on the pedal and lever off the saddle as you reach
your left foot down to the road to stop.
Now you
Thank you Doug.
Yup, I want my toes (not whole foot) to touch the ground if I am on the
seat with a slight tilt towards the standing foot. (waiting at stop signs
and such instead of jumping off the bike) I found snugging the spanner
on my Brooks made getting off easier.
I love this
Thank you. I paid over 2711 from Rivendell, nice to know I might get it
back. Grant Peterson took the order himself.
Where do people sell such bikes?
Here, Ebay, Craigslist?
Is Rivendell interested in collecting their old bikes?
Is there a good place to research sales for prices?

Hi.
What bike is it in the photo?

I've Pauls on another nicer bike and prefer them over the Tektro 720s,

Hey cinzaw.
If I'm understanding what you wrote, you want to be able to touch both feet
to the ground while seated on the saddle? If that is what you're saying,
that is not really related to the bike fitting you or not. That saddle
height will also be far too low for efficient and safe
