Y'all are all too funny. You know how good the Rivs ride so I'll take any opportunity to ride. If anyone asks me if I want to ride, the answer is always yes. Example: somebody invited me to table at an event but said it was in the next town over and not to ride there b/c it's too dangerous,

In additon to all of the above, I like to put a little bit of air in the new tube prior to putting it in so that it doesn't get twisted. Just enough to hold its shape. Don't screw on the locking nut too much if you use them, it'll stress the valve stem. Take your time and sit down and be

Yes my math was bad. I ordered the frame Aug 2002 and it was delivered Feb 2003. I requested the front rack braze-ons for a front rack. At the time Rivendell had not done this. I had to send a drawing of where to put them. Now they are standard. I also requested an extra low bottom bracket. I’m

Not to beat a dead horse, but Clems are $900 for the frame, $1650 for the very very reasonable stock Riv build, and it would be hard to get out of Walnut Creek without spending at least $2300 on a custom build ($900 frame/$1400 build including the $250 minimum labor fee.) So, a new

I think Joe is still on the high side. Pre-Covid, a used stock Clem H is a $900 bike (bought and sold my own around that price). This is a nicer build and crazy times, but not THAT much crazier. I’m guessing $1600 or so is where it will land. On Wednesday, December 16, 2020, Joe Bernard wrote:
