We learn these things as we go. Very satisfying to do your own builds and
maintenance. Nice work!

Thanks, Rich, great idea! Rob, who painted the frame, gave me a tool that
performs the same function when he returned the bike. Wish I'd know about
the skewer trick before.

Eric,
Congratulations on your beautiful Sam. Enjoyed your video and the views of
your shop as well.
A tip that (I believe courtesy of Sheldon Brown) makes removing a bottom
bracket much easier: if the bb spindle allows, run a wheel skewer through
the spindle and your bb tool, clamp the tool d
Thanks all of you for making time to watch!

Great video. Great color choice on the repaint (yay black and cream).
Glad the old BB finally was able to be extracted. Love the RH Snoqualmie
Pass tires. I run them on both my Sam Hillborne and Surly Disc Trucker.
Welcome to the Riv family.

Yep. Precisely. Turns out that they're decent spacers.

Thanks! I need to find a volunteer to ride this bike so I can ride
behind and see how bright that thing really is!

Nice job with the lights. I really like how the E3 taillight fits behind the
seat cluster.

The rims seem fantastic. Welded, double eyeleted, a counter weight and
super shiny! I've not ridden them before so we'll see if they take a
bunch of miles. I didn't build these but the report is that they came
together without much fuss.

Too much light? Is there such a thing? :P
I don't think I'm in danger of blinding motorists but if I had my
druthers the light would have a blinking mode for city riding.
Hopefully the bright light won't cause oncoming motorists to have
target fixation! It is indeed a popular light for MTB riding
Looks great, if you can swing the money i say get the Nitto, after
messing with some cheapie seat-posts (no the VO) and picking up a
Nitto, you can see why Rivendell sell so many. Is the E3 triple too
much light? I thought it was really meant for trail-riding.Did
you do the build-up? Still
Looks great! How do you like the H Plus Son TB-14 rims? Did you build them
yourself? I've been eyeing those for future roadie builds.

Very nice looking bike build. As one who also has a LHT, yes, the
Rivendell is a much more nimble feeling bike. (Although I do prefer
the bars way up on mine.
Personally have had no problem with the VO seatpost. But am not using
it at present. Had it on my LHT but went back to a Nitto. Didn't
Great looking bike, Aaron, congratulations. I agree with Earl (about the
new green), at least i like the way the green looks in your pix better than
others that I have seen Enjoy!

FWIW ... I was the opposite about the VO post! LoL. I returned it. I
really didn't trust it... as I thought the tiny head, the actual part that
clamps on the seat rails .. was just too small. It's much smaller than any
post I've seen lately ... it reminded me of posts from the CNC crazed day
looks fantastic! good stuff.

Congrats. Looks lovely. I really like the new green. If you need to go
cheap on the seatpost, the VO one is very nice. I have misgivings
about a lot of VO products, but none about the seatpost.

I actually discussed this Friday. I think I am going to set it up, but I
expect that I will get used to and leave on one bar for most of the time.
Thanks to all for the comments and suggestions. I may have to re-think the
tires. I had 28's on the Ram and was hesitant to take too large a jump
As for pedals, given that you don't clip-in and you've got larger
feet, these should pique your interest:

Hey ... those Kenda Kwick Roller EZ Ride tires are great! I bought 5 of the
45's and 3 of the 40's . Surprisingly nice riding and long lasting
compound. Really too bad Kenda didn't continue making these under the radar
tires.

It sounds like you have 90% of the build already figured out, maybe except
pedals and bars? These seem like 2 things your LBS would let you test out
without "abusing" the privelidge too much.
If you have a 10 mi commute each way, that means you do 100 miles a week
just commuting, and it's likely
