Looks awesome! I love the Frank Jones Sr - and dream of building one up
with Sturmey drum brake hubs, 3spd - I think this is the only caliper brake
SS bike from Riv (correct me if I'm wrong!) so it's the ideal candidate...

I've never ridden one, but on paper, I think the Frank Jones Sr is one of
the best things Rivendell ever did. I would've ordered one if they'd come
in larger sizes. This build is great!

I love the style of your bike, Arthur. Which of the VO rims are you using
on the bike? If you built the wheels yourself, what do you think of the
build properties of the rims?
Best Wishes,
Patrick

Is it true that Grant has designed a new hillibike frame built around an
IGH? And that he's designing a new "Silver" line of IHG 2 speed fixed and
3, 4, and 5 speed close, medium, and wide ratio hubs, called HilliHubs?
(Or, it might be HilliHubBubs).
No, it's not true, but it's fun to imagine it.
Oh and yes, very nice build.

Thanks, all, and thanks to *nlerner*—I bookmarked your link for project
time…. Grant getting into IGHs would be awesome, but I haven’t seen any
sign of that. He’s deeply involved in saving derailleurs from
“shimanication.” Sadly (or maybe my prejudice is showing) I suspect that

At the risk of derailing the topic (pun semi-intended) the lack of IGH
support on Rivs has become an issue for me. I had a Gus in my cart when
they went on sale recently - my size, my color - but ultimately didn’t go
through with it because I really like the Rohloff that I have on my Bike
Frida
I used VO Diagonalle (sp) rims, which I believe are discontinued. They were
easy to build up and have been perfect for my (road and path) riding needs.
I’ve used them before on other builds and have liked them a lot—never
needed to re-true a wheel built with those rims. I guess VO has
