Hope this doesn't strike folks as too curmudgeonly.
These specific model groups are fine but I hope everyone is putting
their photos on the main Rivendell Flickr group.
Using tags in the main group will allow us to find the images of make
specific Rivendells in the main group.
Hope this doesn't strike folks as too curmudgeonly.

Like you, my '95 Road Std came as a frame and two forks set a
couple of years
ago. I saw how a prior owner had built it up, and wanted something
a little
different. Using the recently introduced Tektro 556 brakes, I
converted the bike
to a 650B, which lets me run bigger rubber. Also like you, I went
with downtube
shifters, in this case Silvers from RBW. I had a Leather saddle
that was perfect
in comfort but had overstretched (by a prior owner) but which was
salvaged by
putting in a longer tension bolt. It has stopped stretching and
given many miles
of useful service since making that fix. Our bikes are the same
color and I
list my components next to yours below to compare.
Nice bikes :)

Subject: [RBW] Every bike has a story.
I think every bike has a story and a Rivendell has a special
quality that not
many other bicycles have: they take on the character of their owners.
Really,.... My hope is that this post will inspire others to
detail their
setups and bicycle back stories.
