OK - jet lag and bike assembly is not a good combo. It took a 45 minute ride on my old bike and some blueberry pancakes for me to figure out for myself what Patrick suggested - take any bolt that fits, a couple of washers and vioala ... my 1st ride on a Rivendell :)
Actually my 1st time riding a decent road bike of any kind. Impressions so far are: 1. This is a very high quality bike - much better than anything else I've riden, and 2. Drop bars are going to take some getting used to. I've got them nice and high, but there are a lot of adjustments, decisions, etc. I ride almost every day and have for years. With this set up I feel I a total newbie. So many new to me things - drop bars, bar end shfters, Rivenell sizing. I've got a 6 day solo tour planned starting the week after next. Hope I've got some of the kinks worked out by then. Thanks for all the help.
