I think a mini-Riv would be cool. Lugs, long chainstays, fully eyeleted, 2”+
tires.
I remember when Riv did a review of the rim brake Pugsley. I thought that would
be a cool Rivendell model also.

My kids ride on the Mac ride up front which helps with that. I insert or remove

It’s been my consistent observation and experience that kickstands cause more
damage than they offer any “solution.”
It’s always been easy to lean my bike against something. Sometimes I even lean
it on the ground. It’s never fallen off the ground.

Maybe I don’t “get rowdy” but sweep for me is a matter of wrist comfort not the

Rivendell has changed so much over the years. When I started admiring their

A zinc coating is electrically applied where galvanizing is hot dipped into a

They made them up to a 59 which had a 58cm top tube, so not a big frame by most

Only a handful were sold here.
