Hi Folks,
So I bought this beautiful 68 Ram last spring after patiently awaiting many
years to obtain one. I'm ashamed to admit it, but in the 6-months since
I've had her I have yet to build it up, and lo, now need to part with her.
It's an odd thing to say, but just having the frame hanging
With a bit of a short timetable and gaining interest in these two hilly frames,
I thought I’d see if anyone was interested in either of these two bikes to free
up the cash.
Medium Chumba Stella. $2300 complete. Nice build, low low use. I can dig into
details if it tickles your fancy.

Thinking about picking up a set of Dia Compe 980s. Anyone use them for a 27
inch to 700C conversion?

Am I reading that correctly, that a 57cm Gus has a 67.5 cm effective top
tube length? I thought the ETT has looked awful short in the photos I've
seen but maybe that's an illusion due to most having pullback bars.

John,
I concur that it is acceptable here. The most entrenching parallel to many
Rivendell lovers and critics is in has RIM BRAKES and not Disks. Plus the
Canti-brakes allow for plus sized tires.
Plenty easy to just ignore posts that do not interest you or focus on interests
outside of you
That's a great design. Thanks for the pro tip.

It's even a Riv-related (Romulus, San Marcos, 537 Riv customs) color. So there!

Thanks Reid. Deacon Patrick and I have the same PBH (90.5) but are alike in
that we like the larger frames ... for our PBH, assuming a decent length stem
and an A+M or Albatross-ish bar.

We've used one of these for 15 years with no complaints.
It has worked on a VW Golf, Ford Escape, and Subaru Crosstrek.
5 minutes to put on, 3 minutes to take off (if you want to store it in the
car while you ride).

Also, speaking of chainlines, and Joe’s and Peter’s comments…
I have to clarify I’m talking about the Rivs that have a 135mm rear spacing
(not, for instance, dedicated road bikes like Roadinis or Roadeos).
The Riv catalog for cranks specifies chainlines and bottom brackets. So
from their
It's an entirely reasonable listing. Rivendell punches above its weight in
terms of influencing bike design. The Casseroll has many Riv-ish
characteristics and is an affordable compromise. I hope that the RBW list
is more about an approach to cycling than brand loyalty.

Now that we have our baby riding with us, my partner and I are looking for a

We drive a Ford Escape and borrowed something that mounted to the rear hatch

That derailleur would do every shift except the shift from the 24 to the
34. To go from the 24 to the 34 you would have to go all the way to the 44
and then back down to the 34. To shift 44-34-24 cleanly, you need a
derailleur that has a much lower inner plate.

I have a 79.5 cm PBH, so I can relate from a height standpoint. I have a

then I've gotten my 52.5 cm custom with long chainstays. When I am riding

I have had luck pushing the limits but in this case, I'll just get a triple

Interesting history, j.schwartz! And, unrelated to this topic, hearing
multiple accounts now of people keeping their SH's long term while other
models come and go has been reinforcing my decision to get one.

The Claris FD-R2400 that came with the double Suguino XD2 on my Sam did not
have enough throw when I took off the bashguard and added a third ring.
My rings were 46-36-26. It was not an adjustment thing. The 2400 was not
physically able to move far enough.
The FD-R2000 lists the same 43.5

The answer is maybe. It doesn't work on the wider-Q triple I put on my Clem,
but that Silver crank snugs everything up very close to the frame. So close in
fact that I can't ride them with the stock BB, my feet kept missing the pedals!

You should call Riv and talk about it. Since they took that front derailleur
off of a Clem, they should be able to tell you why they took it off. Was it
because they were taking apart completes to sell frames? Or was it because

How long Sealant lasts really depends on your climate and time of the year.
Winter times here, it lasts almost the whole season. Summer, it’s maybe every 2
months?

issue, as long as you don’t break the bead on the

of riding with tubes (and tubulars).

You need to ride one and decide. That is the only way to know what YOU
prefer. The new Homer has lighter tubing than your Sam and the longer stays
should make for a comfy ride.
