I have used a frame adapter before (something like this

Back in the summer of 1995, I spent a good several days hiking around North

exploring it on your Appaloosa must be amazing. Thanks for sharing!

Hi Gang,

I’d build it yourself if you are mechanically inclined. It’s not that hard,
especially these days with YouTube videos. Rivs are dead simple and don’t
have proprietary parts or hydraulic disk brakes. I built my first bike in

That thread shows and describes how they run their bar con shift cable

Good choice Michael. I will be doing the same with my new Sam. I built up
one bike from a frame prior to this, which convinced me to let someone else
do it this time around.

Thanks for the input everyone! While I agree that building the bike would
be much more rewarding and I am confident in my ability to learn, I also I
want to make sure this bike reaches its full potential so think I am going
to go ahead and let Riv build this one up. I wasn't aware of their labo

looks like they just dropped the price a bit:

I've only got amber shellac, so everything gets amber. I've done cork grips
with it and they look great. One can of shellac has lasted me maybe 5 years
or so and still going strong. I prefer the amber for hemp twine and cloth
bar tape, so if you only want to buy a single can, I'd vote for amber.
rivendell has always suggest some sort of contact cement or glue to get the
grips on there. the idea that i'd pay the premium price for cork only to
have them be useless once off never sat well with me, so i've found that a
