Thanks, Jason I'm happy to share and glad if in anyway I've encouraged some wrenching. And thanks, Ryan, too! She digs the bike. And I think workshops, like bikes, are each a miracle. When I first decided to make a build video I was thinking of some other builds I enjoyed watching. I thought

Thank you, Bill! I definitely put a lot of thought into converting the bike into something way more useful that it had been and tried my best to source some good-looking (but not too fancy) parts with a timeless feel to them. Still kinda wish I had a more plain-looking rear mech. Hard to beat a

Re: [RBW] Using Your Rivendell Vs. Being Precious: A Spectrum

First, I have to say that bikes like Pam's Betty are, to my mind and eye, the *most *beautiful. Those that show years of love, utility, wear and tens of thousands of miles on the road. More beautiful to me by far than a perfect fresh paint job. I don't go out of my way to abuse my Rivs but I'm

That's a nice mixte, Paul, thanks for sharing. Is that a Suntour Compe-V high normal front derailer? I *love* the cage on those but don't think I'd be down for the high normal arrangement. That's something that hasn't come up in all our discussions of rapid rise, the few high-normal front mec

I wonder if brass crimp clamps would work? Brokebike — Yeah, I appreciate buying from McMaster and getting US made brass bolts but at $5+/each, well, that's really nuts. I mean... bolts. I mean *crazy*. On Tuesday, October 25, 2022 at 12:18:42 PM UTC-4 Collin A wrote: > The other alternative

Hey now, I like these brass and copper wire wraps! I would think that wrapping the wire tight and finishing it by twisting two ends together somehow would hold in place pretty well. I might have to experiment. Will look great once it starts to weather! On Tuesday, October 25, 2022 at 1:51:3
