I've been riding a Galibier for about two years on my randonneur bike. It
took me (170lbs) quite a while to break it in. I almost gave up and swapped
it back for the Aspin, but a combo of rainy and sweaty rides finally did
the trick.
For me the S/G works best with bars below saddle, while the

There are no bicycle tires made in the USA. There is no infrastructure or

Basically, they do it because they find it fun. Sure, we could debate the
merits of it all, as well as those of personal and social responsibility,
but they find it fun. So they do what they do. You don't get it, fine. A
lot of people don't get Riv or it's philosophy, which is fine.
Front, duh.
I've come to appreciate the challenge of riding narrow brushy/snowy single
track with lowriders. So far the ass-over-teakettle moments have been fun.
Plus the extra weight pretty much assures you keeping the front wheel
planted on loose turns or steep climbs.

Yeeaaah. For some reason google let you route down the spur/downhill track
and not onto the eldridge fireroad at those 40% sections. Just stick to the
obvious fireroad up and down and you will be fine, and not get fined. Have
fun, upper eldridge is one of my favorites.

There isn't a dirt route per se. Instead there are a number of cutoffs or
side routes that are dirt roads. They are usually bunched together for
short sections. Pacifica through HMB, then a bit north of Santa Cruz. There

Hi everyone,
For sale is my 2005 or 2006 Rivendell Atlantis 58cm frame and fork. It is a
great frame and I have made a lot of memories with it, but after about nine

I've seen iterations of this idea before. They have either been in the RD

My opinion and experience.
Honestly getting a high quality u-lock and using it correctly is the best
theft deterrent and piece of mind when looking to protect the frame/fork or
whole bike regardless of the bikes value. I use/used and like the

It's a colorway people. It's not trademarked by Riv or anyone as far as I
can tell and it isn't hurting the brand or image of Riv (the only way Riv
could contest the issue). As previously stated it appears to be an
inspiration point for a company trying to push cycling as a lifestyle
choice
As an aside to this discussion, I personally don't see why people are
dogging on the Pasela TG tires. I've ridden a heap of different tires over
a heap of miles myself (ranging the whole spectrum), and have found the

I would see what the biggest 650b tire is you can fit in the Riv. Most
likely a 38mm Lierre or a 42mm Hetre. You will not be able to fit the
smallest knobbie 650b, nor will you really need that kind of tire for now.
For the terrain and load you are describing, the Lierre or Hetre will be

Well said Bobby.
The crux of this particular problem is that SRAM seems to have rushed it's
product to market in order to compete with Shimano and meet market
expectations. In doing so SRAM seems to have neglected to do enough RD on
the redesign of the road versions of their hydro calipers.
I am not sure if I would be able to commit to a frame, but I do have some
general ideas and opinions.
I would basically keep the SO/QB the same in terms of general geo and
specs. At it's core it is a very good design and concept that is actually
pretty hard to find in the bike world.
Patrick,
If neither of you are confident on the terrain conditions, and he is not
confident handling a road bike in the dirt then I would agree and say the

I like Boure synthetic bibs for long rides. They have thinner pad and good
placement. They have worked best for me on warm (60 degree plus) rides.
The Ibex bibs work well in rain or cooler temp long rides. The Ibex have a
thicker and larger pad than the Boure bibs. The wool bibs
They are all the rage. Heritage products man, heritage products. To be
fair, VO had the knives first. Most likely to mirror Riv's hatchets.

why you feel the need to air these grievances with Riv in the public forum,
when the best course of action would be to continue to work with Riv until

I've seen it happen a number of times with a variety of steel bikes over
the years. It's partly due to the stress of that particular joint (lots of
torque due to the drivetrain placement). The other key factor in these

I agree with Jim's POV completely, and not becuase I work at a shop. For

VO bars were originally made by Nitto. For the past few years VO bars have
been made by another company, and not in Japan. VO bars are still very
nice bars from my experience.
Nitto does make the Grand Bois bars and stems.
