Having just finished my first Rivendell project earlier this summer (a
Protovelo/Bombadil), and after completing it ONLY after 4-5 months of
(happily) sweating every nut and bolt and fitting every part to the frame
one after another to see how the fit and function was affected by the mixed
All, much appreciate all the recos.
Now I know what to hunt for (if I choose to go the classics route on eBay)
or budget for (IRD/VO). The Silver cranks are superb, but I feel that it
better suites (in terms of aesthetics) a country bike like Sam or
Atlantis.
In the past I have seen some
I buy frames and agonize every part. I scan eBay for NOS components, I buy
nitto handlebars, seatpost, stem. I don’t change much but I so tinker with
bar height, angle, seat position. Once I get it right I leave it.
Have fun, this will be your first of many.

The IRD triple is great too.

I second the IRD, I'm curious why they're not more popular. Cold forged,
low Q, and simple good looks. I have the 50/34 and the 46/30, I think
they're great.

Hey Eric! Thanks for the reply. I'm thinking about a different seat post

I bought my Atlantis in 2003 & had Rivendell set it up in their standard
touring spec. It met my needs for tours but inevitably I just HAD to mess
with it. It's just too tempting. Since then, I've changed brakes a couple
of times, gone from drops to upright bars, smaller chainrings, wider
I bought both of my Riv's(AHH & Legolas) as frames only. I like swapping

changes you (or others) have made to their bikes.

Wow, thank you all, this is really helpful! I hadn't heard of a couple of

I'd suggest contacting Analog cycles and inquire about Middleburn crank
options for the chainrings you want.
Tastes and fitness vary and you are not I, but I strongly suggest a
subcompact double that is sort of a one by with bail out granny ring for
bay area terrain.

Ben,
I'm an inveterate tinkerer. That said, I won't bore you are anyone with
the details of the changes I've made to my Rivendell bikes, with one
exception. I traded out the brakes for Paul brakes. I found the Shimano
brakes too squishy for me. I want to know that the bike is stopping when

That’s pretty much why I have ended up with four Rivendells - Appaloosa,
Cheviot, Roadini, Clem L :)

If I locked mine outside ever, I would certainly consider some kind of

I'm in Omaha, and bike theft is not a non-issue here, but it's a lot lower

I started building my Atlantis a bit under two years ago; other than wheels

IRD has a silver 46/30 that looks good. I have it on a 650B Roadini with
165 crankarms.

Whoops, very true Mark. I made a hasty post. At the moment I'm looking for

Cliffhangers come in four different sizes; it'd be good information for a

My post wasn't meant to single you out, other than as random example of a
trend we are mostly all caught up in some way or another. I'm not so
precious about frame size as long as it's within range, but I have become a
tire snob. Way too many dang tire choices out there right now. Though that
The Riv cranks are indeed very nice. They look especially good on the
various Hillibikes and the tandem. On the roady Roadini, the chunky crank
arms will look more like the XT you have on there now (which doesn't look
bad, really, maybe scrub off that logo?). But if you want a classic look,
