Hi Joe. On a very recent Sub24 outing it was amazing how many comments I got (on my Clem) regarding how comfortable & relaxed I appeared to be. One rider who I had done similar rides with before exclaimed that my riding always looked so effortless. And that’s exactly how it feels, even during hard

Yep. Beautiful bike, and I've enjoyed all your posts on building it, from

For what it's worth, I just got a pair of Swift mini roll tops and they are
fantastic. Well made, thoughtful, and the funky colors are just super. If
not Swift, then Ruthworks. And if not Ruthworks
I love them. They are particularly fantastic in the winter, if you happen

nearly a solid treat pattern down the centre, and they're great when run at

Excellent build and a first ride that bodes well for many future rides on

Well done on the wrap. Great pictures and I'm curious were you riding out
in La Mesa? Have a great time in NorCal. A visit to RivHq is always a treat
good, good, people.

I wanted to see how it felt to carry a moderate camping load at a pace and
distance in excess of what I've done or plan to do. I have to say it
handled beautifully...My homer responds well to being loaded (I weigh about
145). Climbs well, descents stable, just a solid ride.

Christopher,
Sounds like a fun ride Seattle to Portland. What where you carrying on you
bike?
We will be in San Franscio for a few days of bike exploration. We will
make a stop at Rivendell headquarters I am sure. After San Franscio we
plan to go further north along the coast for a couple of da
What size Homer is that?

I love the noodles. I might try albas one day, but for now, they're
incredible bars. I just finished a 2 day, 200 mile Seattle to Portland

The Noodles are probably more user friendly than flickr :-). As a user of
both, just my opinion. I think I can tape handlebars faster & with more
confidence than downloading & posting photos, but that's my problem.
Seriously, nice photos. Looks like you had a fun ride.

On Thursday,
Two firsts in one day! Excellent! What's the initial thought on the noodles?
With abandon,

Thanks for the kind words guys. Yeah the fenders did take some work to get
right, but I had but Honjos on my raleigh international last year and that

Another congratulations. I've been off the bike in the past for months, too
because of depression -- fortunately, while this still keeps me off the
bike frequently, it's been years since it has done so for months altogether
and now it generally is a day to day thing (and, fwiw, when I force myse
Peter, congratulations on a great-looking bike and more on getting out
there again. I've been there, and still am. While I'm all in favor of
plotting for another Riv, the important thing is to ride,right? Keep it up
and enjoy your bike. Steve

Good looking bike. And, wow, if you don't have one already you're going to
have to get yourself a nice tweed suit to match those handlebars!

Congratulations on getting back in the saddle, Peter.
That stem should be just the thing while you dial in your position -
and as your preferred position changes as you start to rack up the
miles.
I was mostly sidelined for 5 years. It's been over a year since I
could ride any significant distanc
Beautiful setup. I second the leverage of the handlebar bag that high up.
I was impressed with the look of the fenders.. much better job than I did
with mine.
Ahh the bug has bitten... after the Atlantis you will be looking for that
