Wow, 75*. I was talking to a client in Chicago this morning who said that
since it was his birthday he was going to take advantage of the (also) 75*
forecast temperature (second time in his 50-something lifetime) and take
his kids out golfing. Meanwhile, here in southerly ABQ, NM, the high was
How wide is your bottom bracket? You could widen a smidge and it could
solve the clearance problem, and that would increase your bottom bracket
collection without adding to your front derailer collection. I have a 103
that's certainly too narrow a bottom bracket, and sorry, no obvious answer
Another option if you want an open leather saddle is the Rivet Pearl:

it's rather nicely made - the sides are joined underneath, to prevent them

I have used both of the Aspin models. I started with the standard model.
It was quite hard and took some time to break-in. However, I ended up
being very happy with it. However, after using it for a few years, some
health concerns made me decide to give the Aspin cutout model (Berthoud, I
ive had the B17 and B17 imperial and just purchased the aspin a few weeks
ago, so far it's still hard but not uncomfortable. a side by side I felt
that the B17 was more comfortable after a few rides. B17 is a bit wider
than the aspin and that makes it initially not noticeable under you.

Bill Lindsay is straight to the point. “What do you mean by…”
Also, bikes are like stereo systems. $$ for a good one, $$$ for a slightly
better one, for a VERY slightly better one. Price goes up
exponentially for parts where you may never feel the difference.

I'm thinking about replacing my B17 Special and was looking at the Gilles

No sound made no difference to me, Mark. The Christmas Clementine music
popped right in my head and stuck there anyway!

Hard to beat Shimano hubs for quality and longevity, especially taking cost
into consideration. Deore and Tiagra are the starting point in the product line
up where the quality becomes excellent.
I would encourage you to shop for complete wheelsets though. Great deals can be
had at times.
Also the WolfTooth tools are really nice quality! You might want to look at
those.

Get good tools! You don't really need "imperial" tools. Only metric.
I recently upgraded to Wera Zyklop tools - amazing. I wish I had done this
years ago. I would have been so much better off. Also, mini-air compressors
that plug into your car are cheaper than floor pumps for bikes at this

I have a 44 cm noodle bar I can sell you. If you're riding a 51 cm frame it
should be appropriate.

It's hard to predict how well this is going to go. We see very enthusiastic
newbies jump in with both feet. Some absolutely nail it on their first try,
and others build something, show it off proudly, claim to love it on day
one, offer it up for sale on day ten, and start over just as

The pricing on that one did seem a little absurd, especially since it's not
the complete! I guess the inflation demon really takes hold people in times
of crisis...
If they were selling the complete build, maybe...Even then it's only $150
off from the original Riv complete price

Thanks for the info Mark.
Well all I can say is, that is one badass beautiful bike!!

Heya!
Not the exact same, but I've modded a shimano dura-ace bar end to throw a
sram clutch 10speed through its full range. Required an extra 8mm of cable
throw if I remember correctly. I filled off the top just as you were
thinking. There doesn't appear to be any internal mechanism inhibiting

Long time lurker here. I just purchased by first Riv frame. It's a c.2016
Sam H 51cm.
I'm looking to build this out to be solid all-rounder, keeping very classic
styling w/ all its parts. Wanna avoid snake oil purchases– will spend $$$
where truly needed. Also– will be doing my own
Thanks for all the leads! Glad to see some other ladies in the Riv group
I think I'm pretty set on the Clem H for myself, vs the L, but the blue
ones sure are pretty. We're already on the list for the 59 in Grilver,
fingers crossed!

I have Vittoria Terreno Dry (47) on a Cliffhanger rim and I have minimal
clearance in the rear at the brake bridge. Also, the Paul Mini Motos mini
cable is ever so close to the tire tread. I also ran the same setup on
Velocity Quills and it was a little bit better in both the brake bridge and

Well, this is why I ask my questions. Thanks both of you. I've scratched
Thursday. They do have good marketing copy, though.
Redwing it is.

IMHO Thursday boots are a hard pass. My experience is from years wearing
and working with actual quality USA and Japan made footwear, although I've
handled only one pair of Thursday moc toe boots. Yes, the leather feels
subpar when you've handled many other brands using better tanneries. Just
Disregard. Upon further examination, it seems that Microshift 11 speed has
to be paired with itself in order for indexing to work. To get around the
color, I kept the pod in a jar of airstrip remover overnight and I'm still
in the process of polishing the lever. So far so good!

Not sure I would be promoting that on the RBW List.
That $1200 price is for the frame, fork, headset, bb, & seat post, exactly
what Rivendell offers brand new for $900. The seller helpfully mentions
that Rivendell is all sold out and not due until spring. And so you know
