Thanks for everyones feedback. The option of an internal hub is nice. I'm not sure I'll ever go that direction, but still nice. Bill I may follow what you did to makes the drops more similar to vertical ones. Incidentally Bill, I'll probably put the Sugino crank you sold me over the summer on this one. I'll switch the Homer to a Herse.
The frame came today. She's pretty. The color is a little less saturated than the colors in pictures online. It seems well built/solid, but not an anchor. the rear dropouts are beefy. It's going to be an all rounder for my wife. A present for her upcoming birthday. The fork is beautiful. Definitely one of the prettiest fork crowns made ever? I like it better than the curly cue on many other rivs. I have curly cue issues left over from art school. The head badge is fun, the sticky foam attaching it is visible from the top, meh. There's a small chip where one screw is on the crown. No biggie this bike was made to ride. There was lotsa grease coming out of the headset, weird. I'll try some Boscos I have on it, but if my wife doesn't like those, Albatrosses make sense. I'm going with a v-brake set up, Rivendell included the clamp on cable tunnels incase I choose cantilevers later. I think they forgot my free gift for being one of the 100 first people to order with the 10% promo code. Regardless I was glad to get the 10% off and they're nice people. I definitely forgot to order a kickstand. So Bubbe is yiddish for grandmother. Does Rosco have something to do with Rockets?
