A few weeks ago many of you offered suggestions on what to do on my short trip to San Francisco. (Bikes everywhere I thought Philadelphia was a biking town. Not like it is in the Bay area.) It was way-too-short a trip and didn’t get in half of what I planned. Highlights were the Japa

Re: [RBW] How avoid sore throats from riding in cold weather?

On my last couple of rides, I've been trying Deacon Patrick's suggestion of nose breathing. The issue I've run into is that my nose drips so much that I have to stop every couple of minutes to blow it. Which now gets me to wondering... would this perhaps help your post nasal drip, coming out t

I just bought 5 credits. I'll be visiting them next week, so I expect to use up all my credits and then some. Roberta On Wednesday, February 21, 2018 at 7:38:03 PM UTC-5, Chris Birkenmaier wrote: > I was just in Ri s website and saw their request for their loyal > supporters to purchase stor

If this is too off topic, I'm sure the moderator will delete. I know a lot of you live in the area and would love your input. Since I'll be flying from PA to S. CA at the end of the month for business, I decided to stop in San Francisco to visit Rivendell. I'll be arriving on a Sunday about n

[RBW] Re: Gravel and Grind in Frederick MD is closing

They are an awesome shop with super nice and knowledgeable employees. I went there four times from Dec 2016 to Aug 2017--to see what a Rivendell bikes was about, to buy a bike (ended up with Joe A.), to get accessories added to Joe, and once for a G&G sponsored ride, where I got to meet some

Re: [RBW] Found Upright riding worse than drops riding.

Off list I had contacted Patrick about shoulder and neck pain on my non Riv bike asking for recommendations on what changes I could make on it. Saddle and handlebars are about the same height. His suggestion once he saw picture of the bike setup was to move the saddle back. I don't know the

[RBW] Re: Bartubes discontinued

This was one the reasons I hesitated. The other being I'd wear out the Velcro. I was thinking of also getting the short leather straps, putting them thru the bag loops and then on the saddle loops. In the end, I purchased a Carradice roll bag in black to blend in with my black saddle and

Let us know when it's a done deal, so we can congratulate both you and the lucky (smart) person who now will own a great bike. On Saturday, December 2, 2017 at 7:21:30 PM UTC-5, Andrew Huston wrote: > > Sale pending for all but Map bar/ESI grip, stem, 9 speed shifters on Paul > thumbies and lev

Hi Marc. Glad you're feeling better, physically. The scenery would help anyone's mental state. Just beautiful! I think we have nearly matching twin bikes. I like your descriptive "creamy." It's just as wonderful cruisin' as faster riding. I hope your sciatica stays away. Roberta On

[RBW] Re: Clem Photos on Riv Website

Doug, As much as I was rooting for you to get Andrew's Joe A, I'm so glad you got a Riv. I've had my Joe (my first Riv) for 7 months now (after 6 months of deliberation) and still am so surprised how good it rides; absolutely no regrets spending the money, because of the joy it has brought me.

[RBW] Re: FS 51 Joe Appaloosa silver

Being female, for my 83pbh, I bet I have shorter torso than most of the guys here. Even though my handlebars are quite swept back, I don't ride bolt upright, but have a little bit of a lean in. I'd think 84pbh would be just fine. If it's helpful, I did test ride a 50cm Sam and the Joe's size

[RBW] Re: FS 51 Joe Appaloosa silver

I LOVE my 51 cm Joe A. It rides like a dream without being sluggish. If anyone is seriously considering Andrew's bike but first wants to see it in its actual size, please PM me off list. Mine is the 2016 version. I'm Philadelphia. Roberta On Tuesday, November 28, 2017 at 6:39:16 PM UTC-

[RBW] Re: Thoughts/considerations for Clem as daily do-it-all bike?

I think you're considering the right bike for your application, but I have to say that I don't own a Clem, but a Joe Appaloosa (my first Riv and I LOVE it), as that one fit my needs better. However, if needed a bike for what you describe, I would have bought a Clem L. If you're thinking Clem H
