I've got both, a 59 Bleriot and a 58 Rambouillet. Both have Noodle bars and
B-17 Brooks saddles.
The Bleriot with GB Cypres 32mm tires feels a tad flexier, but has more
stable handling. When it arrived as a frameset I was impressed with how
light it felt.
I had SS couplers installed and
I worked through this question on my Bike Friday Pocket Rocket with 451mm
wheels when I went to big rings. I set up a 36-48-58 set on a 110/74
crankset, in my case a Suntour XC Pro. Using the Sheldon Brown online gear
calculator, this gave me a match to my standard bikes setup.

Alan,
Mary Gersemalina is my wife, and we are well acquainted with the
BicycleSpace folks, as they are with us and our Riv bikes. They were nice
enough to do a little video of us, I grabbed my SimpleOne for the shoot.

Someone at a shop in the greater DC area who stocked Riv models in the past
said Riv effectively wound down their dealer program yeas ago and decided
to sell direct. The dealer could buy Rivs at no lower price than anyone
else, this person said, so there was no financial reason to stock them.
I have the Spanniga. It is somewhat basic, you're not getting a super deal
at $15.
We have it on the tandem fender as a spare to back up the Secula Plus
generator taillight (which is very bright) on our chainstay.
The Spanniga is OK on dark roads, so-so in city riding. Switch is a little

The conventional approach is to ride the brevets in order without trying to
do too much in between, as long as the gaps are not more than 2-3 weeks.
It's good to give your legs some time to recover and adapt. Most everybody

My wife and I ride Rivendell models -- Romulus, Rambouillet, others -- and

We asked Dwan to replicate our positions on a 57 Romulus in the back and a

Good choice. I've only run Pasela TG 700 x 35 on my SimpleOne and enjoyed
the ride. I use the same tires on my Atlantis.
I grew to like the Pasela and Pasela TG when it could be bought cheaper
than these days. Those and the Schwalbe Marathon Racer fit the bill for me
in the budget 700c
I had a C17 loaner out on my SimpleOne last month and wrote about it. It
feels pretty similar to a B17 to me.

I've traveled with singles and tandems, both full size and SS. Every
airline is different as another responder mentioned, and they change their

One relative constant has been allowable size for checked luggage, 62
linear inches.
I'm interested in this limit as well. My bikes have 58/59cm top tubes. Our
custom size Java 29er tandem is about as long as Co-Motion could make and
still get into a case in three pieces, with the longest top tube section

Let us know if you take it up with your installer.

case Bike Friday sells?

We have these cases from our Friday purchases and use one of them when we

I'd test our your current setup first without the Shiftmate. Campy and

On our Brooks Flyer saddles (mine and hers) I spray a little Boeshield at

I also apply a thin layer of grease to the rails before tighting down the

Another option is the Nitto R-10 mini rear rack. It has been a really good
setup for us on a couple of bikes, one in particular without rack mounts. Bens

We've been very happy with two discs for the riding we do in the east,
which are mostly steep relatively short downhills. In the west I could
see using a drum on long multi-mile descents, especially when loaded. In

We like Pasela Tourguard 700 x 32s for most of our tandeming. Our old
Co-Motion Speedster from 2006 accepted those tires with fenders but not
35s.
To run bigger tires we recently upgraded to modified Co-Motion Java. They
changed it a couple of years ago from a 26/559 wheel model to 700c/29er.
If one is on a timetable, Co-Motion is turning tandems around relatively
quickly. With a number of custom modifications and couplers, ours got to
us in about 6 weeks after design approval.
We have friends who are getting a 650b custom tandem for use with Hetres
