Thanks for that detail, Evan. That'll be quite the bike. I don't think
there's ever been a model that combines that light of tubing with that big
of a tire. I wonder if someone picked that up.

It's fun to try to guess what Patrick Moore typed into Google. Was it
"please help me"? Did he type "What tubing is that neat Marin on
gringineer made of?"
I've added Rivendell Dealers to the Riv Rider's Map, and these icons are in
blue. I used the addresses found on the Riv website, but I'm not sure if
all of these dealers are still dealers or even in business.
If anyone knows what I don't, let me know and I'll update the map.

It's an English term for derailleurs that's been around for decades. I can
remember seeing it in English cycling magazines in the 1970s when I first
became interested in cycling.

Yeah, I first heard it when I began watching GCN videos. It seems like the
U.K. produces the mosts cycling media, with a huge uptick on Youtube from
U.K. sources in teh last 5 years or so. that would be my guess.
Cheers!

The late, great Sheldon Brown on the same subject in one of his threads
referred to rear deraillers as "jumpers," which he said was the
African-American term for that component. In similar manner, he called

Yep, I use the term and I picked it up from British magazine bike reviews.
Cuz it sounds kinda cool and cuz I don't have to decide if I'm going to
type derailer or hope my phone knows how to spell derailleur.

anything as complicated and mechanical and fussy as a device to shift a

IIRC a retronym is a new term required when new tech or other developments
dictate a new term. The only example that comes to mind is "black and white
teevee" yo replace "teevee*" after colour teevees became a thing.

Thanks much, Ted! The 50mm tires make a difference even though nothing is
as plush as my Atlantis with 57mm G-Ones.
Takashi – I concur with Ted. Lovely, idyllic snaps there. Can’t wait to see
more from your part of the world.

I've also had good luck with the 7400... currently shifting a 44/24 combo
quite nicely. They seem to still be reasonable on ebay but certainly are
more like $40-$70.

In 54 years of working on bicycles with derailleurs, I had never used or
heard them referred to as "mechs" until the last year or so. Where did this
come from? Does it only refer to non-electronic derailleurs?

+1. My 7400-series FDs shift a 42/28 perfectly despite having to be set
rather high above the 42 t ring. In fact, they have to be set high to clear
the BBBashguard in the outer position.
Kieran: "Cheap," did you say? I'd like to get a spare; what's your source?

I should add that I made the front rack which has the VO/Roadrunner
mini-rando bag bolted to it. Helps to cover up the big gap between the fork
crown and the tire.
