Just a PSA expressing my appreciation for the folks @ Waterford.
I discovered that they can supply touch-up paint for my Roadeo (cream with
blue highlights) and I ordered touch-up paint in each color:
- Roadeo White
- Hot Blue

Nice list.
However I do not believe the berthoud GB192 bag uses the Klickfix
connection.

You might look for these used XTR 9-speed RDs on ebay: rd-m952
They work with 9-speed and have barrel adjusters.
Or there is an XT version. RD-M750
With these RDs you don't have to worry about cassette size or chain wrap
capacity.

Rambouillet which
I keep in Seattle.
Plus lots of shorter brevets on all three bikes.
Blue Rambouillet was totalled in 2008 when hit by a car, bought the orange

guess.

I too rode my bike home when I was laid off in 2008. Not a Rivendell, but
an RB1.
They were not as nice though, no one offered me a cab ride home, even
though it was a 22 mile ride.
In my case I hated working there, so was happy to be gone. It did take a

It seems that everyone agrees that losing 25 lbs would be better than
lightening the bike by 4 lbs.
A different question: If the rider lost 4 lbs would that be equivalent to
riding a bike that was 4 lbs lighter?

honey.

You will most likely need a mountain RD to accommodate a 34-T cog.

Keep your Shimano brakes, but compromise with levers like these:

Yes 650B is the way to go if you want fenders or tires larger than 28mm.
I have an RB1, with over 30K miles on it, and I still like riding it.
It was even my initial randonneuring bike, and I still ride it on brevets
occasionally.
But it is not a bike for all rides, at least not with 700s.

Short cage vs long cage has to do with chain wrap capacity, not the largest
sprocket on the cassette.
Maximum sprocket is a different characteristic.
