All personal preference I guess. I had a big wald basket on my Cheviot and
routinely had a full camping or grocery load in there. It rode very well with
that kind of front load be it dirt or trails.

My Cheviot is a nightmare with weight up front. It had a crooked fork, and
aligning that helped, but it still is very unstable with a front load.

They are both 650b, yes, and remarkably similar in component setup. Except for
handlebars; Sweetpea has the On One Midge bars, which I love.
I had the Sweetpea made because I wanted a shorter top tube.

Yes would love to see an update! The custom randonneur Riv was one of my

I owe the group an update on my custom randonneuring Riv, but yes,
Rivendells are plentiful in the rando scene here in the Bay Area, CA. I

Ted, it's neat to hear the details about your low trail trials, I've never
ridden one, that I know of, but it's hard to imagine handling better than
my cheviot with a front load (feels great even with 30lbs). I'll have to
try! Have you found that fender-flaps have helped at all? I also fee
That's the current plan!

Lynne, that's a sweet ride! Why did you switch to the sweetpea? I'm
guessing your bleriot was 650b as well?

SSL, that's great to hear about - your evolving set-up is
interesting...having something on the front seems so handy (I've committed
to the rear but maybe next year). That's also smart to think of powering
your GPS, I know lots of people stress about battery life of such an
essential. Thanks
This year I rode my first full series (200, 300, 400, 600) + the Fleche and
Dart team events with the SF Randonneurs on my Sam Hillborne. For each I
ran Compass Snoqualmie Pass EL tires (44s). I had fenders on up until May -
they just barely fit with the 44s! I've got a dyno which powers my fron
I did a 200k, centuries, and permanents on my Bleriot.
Ed Felker did PBP on his.
I have read of others who did Brevets on Rivendells.
Paul Donaldson(?) AKA WGR(?) World's Greatest Randonneur did brevets on his
Sam Hillborne. Just google Worlds Greatest Randonneur and you will see the
