Hey guys, The stem is 110mm and I think is spoken for...but haven't received his zip for shipping. I will let you know if I don't hear anything by tomorrow. The cranks are 173mm...seems small for a 59cm, but alas... that's what was spec'd. Ron "Think of bicycles as rideable art that can just

Congratulations on the new Bike! What length are the Silver cranks you're selling? 178mm I hope... And while I'm not shopping for a stem, what's the size on that for all that may be in the market? Thanks -Kai On Thursday, November 18, 2021 at 10:24:02 AM UTC-5 fraze...@gmail.com wrote: > Hi

Re: [RBW] Clems: Rivendell, modernized?

I think, for me, Ben, you hit the nail on the head about Clems. I totally get why people like them. I think Riv found a good niche here...and if I had kids who ride bikes , investing in a Clem would be the ticket, rather than the flashy, lesser kid's bikes that have cheap versions of

Re: [RBW] Clems: Rivendell, modernized?

Patrick, You are correct about tire pressure. I pumped front to 40 and rear to 35 and it was too stiff. I'm getting used to wide tires again and so 25/20 sounds about right. On tire width my assessment about Clem was too generous, it would not take much more than 2.6 as was mentioned above. My

You need a Gus or Susie/Wolbis to do the fat-tire Riv thing. They claim 2.8 will fit, I had knobby 2.5's on my Susie and there was a decent amount of room left. Nice bikes, beautiful fillet welds, get one. Joe Bernard On Thursday, November 18, 2021 at 3:30:11 PM UTC-8 Patrick Moore wrote: >

Re: [RBW] Clems: Rivendell, modernized?

Thanks, Doug. The situation is doubtful, alas. The present Monocog takes the 3" WTB Rangers with ~3mm to spare between stays at rear, but then the tires are mounted on 24 mm OW Alex rims; I'm sure that on 35mm+ rims they'd expand to full 3" plumpness, and one goal is new, wide rims and a frame to

Just saw this, and am still analyzing it. As I see it, for a given height, Filipinos (mi madre was Filipina) have the shortest legs, Swedes longer, and black Africans the longest. When I sit, I am as tall from seat up as -- if not 1/2" taller than -- my 6'1" bro in law surnamed Hansen. Someone

[RBW] Re: Clems: Rivendell, modernized?

I'll tell you what I love about Clems (and Roadinis for that matter...) is that Rivendell comes right out and says that tig welding is just as good/strong as lugs, just not as pretty. They could blow smoke and talk about all the reasons why lugs are "better," but instead there's that super

Re: [RBW] Clems: Rivendell, modernized?

I have no Clem, I do have a 2002 Atlantis and a 1990 El Capitan. One of the real values of a Tig'ed frame is that you can do things that are prohibitively expensive with lugs (ie requiring completely custom lugs or accepting the compromise that might be needed for 26 inch legs and a long body). A

Re: [RBW] Clems: Rivendell, modernized?

I have ridden my Clem a few times now and can report it is excellent on roads, gravel, and dirt. I rode with the rear tire at 25 psi and the front at 30 psi. On roads I'll probably pump that up to 35/40. The Tosco bars are better than I expected as I had already thought about putting Billie
