[RBW] Re: Soliciting opinions: help me pick the right Rivendell

Hi, Bud, I'm sure this has been posted at some point in the past, but I stumbled upon this the other day and thought it might be of interest both to you and others on this thread. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yx83uMhIgKA Otherwise, for what it's worth, I think the suggestions above are gre

[RBW] Re: Packing Cubes

Haha, second reel was awesome. You just got another follower on IG! 😆 Back on topic..those packing cubes are great. I like to use them for multi-country travel trips because they organize contents well. I hadn’t thought about using these on the bike—great idea! Thanks for sharing. On Sunday, A

Re: [RBW] Re: Packing Cubes

I am off to the Netherlands this morning to cycle around the Zuiderzee. I bought the Ortlieb packing cubes and like their design very much. I think they make taking stuff in and out of touring bags much more manageable. Best, Rob Blunt Pennington, NJ On Mon, Apr 8, 2024 at 9:32 AM Tony Lockhart w

[RBW] FS: NOS Heron Road frame & fork, 60 cm

(Reposting as potential sale was not completed). I'm downsizing ahead of an impending move, and selling a never-built 60 cm Heron Road frame and fork only (no headset; no bottom bracket). As all of you will know, the bike was designed by Grant Petersen at Rivendell, and built by Waterford as a

[RBW] Re: Soliciting opinions: help me pick the right Rivendell

I am a current Sam Hillborne owner. Like Jason Fuller said this is the bike that I'd never sell. I love it so much and it does everything that I need it to do on both paved and dirt roads. That would be a top pick based on your planned use case. I recently expanded my stable of Riv's to include

[RBW] Re: Soliciting opinions: help me pick the right Rivendell

I ride an Appaloosa but if I had to pick another Rivendell I would just call it a day and buy a Clem. In the car world, people joke that Miata is always the answer, and I feel here a Clem is always the answer. On Friday, April 5, 2024 at 8:43:49 PM UTC-4 Bud Suttree wrote: > Hi all, > > > Be

[RBW] Re: 5 Boro Bike Tour (was NYC Riv Ride?)

Hi, My wife and I signed up for the tour and will be there! We even payed an extra cost to be in the first wave of riders. I'll be riding my mustard colored Appaloosa (I might even rock my tweed saddlebag) and my wife will be on her extra-small orange Salsa Vaya. I'll be on the lookout for othe

[RBW] FS: 58cm Appaloosa Double Top Tube Disc Brake

Hey folks, Some of you may remember I tried selling my Appaloosa back in 2020. Well at that time I decided to keep it, change a few parts, and have really enjoyed it since then. Fun bike to ride, great set up for commuting, running errands, dawdling around the neighborhood, and general bicycle

Re: [RBW] Re: FS: 58cm Appaloosa Double Top Tube Disc Brake

Nice. I find disc-brake retro-equipped Rivendells rather interesting; I know another person retrofitted them to a very nice Atlantis. Who else has done this, and why? Me, I like discs for dirt riding tho' they don't add anything for my pavement riding. On Mon, Apr 8, 2024 at 4:56 PM eric swain

[RBW] Re: Eroica California

Your bike profile pic is as classic-looking as all get out Bill. Very tasty. Question: Is this bike taller then you usual? (I'm trying to recall all those...) If my bro-in-law still lived on the West Coast, I'd consider doing that ride, since I have read about it for quite a long time. A Flickr
