Kogswell did a frame with a 1" or 9/8" fork option, using a reducer in the headset for those wanting the 1" threaded option, but it doesn't seem like Rivendell would go that route. As much as there is to like about threaded forks and quill stems, i have to admit that there is a much more solid feel to a threadless setup. If the new roadie Riv is going threadless, they should consider bringing back the half-lugged stem they had a while back. -- Bill Connell St. Paul, MN --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
