If yours is 25.4 so much the better. If not I'll need a shim.

My preference would still be for 25.4mm clamp diameter, or to sell
mine and buy the right one from Riv.
If neither is offeredn by the end of next week I'll give you a shout.

Not life threatening but certainly an annoyance.
Rear D is also new, long cage Shimano, nothing special but seems to
work fine otherwise.
Chain tension and chain line seem OK.
Ideas, anyone?
Thanks,

Just came back from a visit to New England which included 5 days
biking in Vermont on my new to me Sam.
Beautiful part of the world this time of year.
The hills were a bit much for this flatlander, especially self
supported, but managed to have a really good time anyway.

I use a rolled up knit carpet for yoga.
Feels (and smells) a lot nicer than then the synthetic ones and fits
great in my Carradice saddle bag.
Have to try straping it directly to the bagman support as suggested
above.

I've been up since 4 after a 16 hour flight yesterday, excited to put
my new to me Sam together and take it for a test ride.
It's almost done but I can't ride it because the bike shop failed to
include the bolt that keeps the seat post from slipping in to the
frame.
Do I just walk into a local

a total newbie. So many new to me things - drop bars, bar end shfters,
Rivenell sizing.
I've got a 6 day solo tour planned starting the week after next. Hope
I've got some of the kinks worked out by then.
Thanks for all the help.

as recommended already, or you
could switch the stem to a shorter version. Neither of which should
effect handling in a way that you could not adapt to. As already
discussed a 1 cm raise on the bars would bring them closer to you. It
could be a cheaper and fast alternative.

I personally dig the two top tube look. Listen, Grant gives very
sound reasons for them on that particular style and frame size. I'd
rather pay more, have two

Thanks for all the input. Very helpful bunch, this is.

used drop bars before.
I'm wondering if it wouldn't be a good idea to go with cross style
interrupter levers either in addition to or instead of the drop bar
brake levers for better control in traffic.
Or is it just a matter of getting used to the drop bar levers?
Thanks,
