Joe, so hipster! I didn’t think of this but if it makes me cool in any way, 
I’ll claim it. Though deep down, I’m thinking about how trashed my bike is 
going to be, and how I don’t know how to clean cassettes… What a pretender.

[RBW] Re: Handlebar Recommendations Pls?

[Garth]

Having experience with debilitating inner sit bone pain, what worked for me 
is going long(stretched) and low and using your quadriceps more, which may 
involve moving your saddle forward and even a different saddle that favors 
that favors that position. Much more of a road like position, but with your 
hands level or even slightly above saddle height. In using your quads more, 
pushing hard, that naturally takes pressure off the butt and the hands at 
the same time. That's how pro road racers can ride with narrow saddles and 
road bars on narrow tires even on cobblestones, they're exerting so much 
power with their quads that it rather alleviates butt and hand pressure. 
It's just not road riders that do that, it's riders of all genres that push 
down on the pedals hard.

If your quads aren't particularly strong or more like, unfamiliar with 
loading them up, even simply laying on your back and bending your knees 
towards you, and raising up your torso, making yourself like a ramp, does 
wonders. 

The general rule of thumb I grew up with as a subjectively ideal riding 
position, when you're in your long and low position, the font hub should 
either be hidden or behind the middle of the bar at the stem. This was with 
drop bars , but it works too with the Albatross bars I have, the middle of 
the bar is a little forward of the hub when I look down. I have a 13cm stem 
on the Bombadil, which also has an atypically longer TT and reach than all 
other regular chainstay Rivs. 

I know all that seems complicated, and it need not be. Just Be Happy 
and which Way ;)

[Philip Barrett]

Apologies for the tardy reply, Spectrum decided we didn't want internet 
last night! But wow, thanks Garth & everyone else for your thoughtful & 
insightful responses. I do think that stretched out more is going to be the 
1 st step here and the bars will be part of that. I also have a collection 
of saddles including less supportive ones (which sounds counter-intuitive I 
know) so part 2 will be to try that as well. 

I'll be the only Platypus rider in the drops!

[RBW] Re: Handlebar Recommendations Pls?

[Hoch in ut]

Instead of switching out the bars, I’d experiment on a ride by grabbing the 
more forward part of the handlebars. If that alleviates the issue, then I’d 
even say a longer stem might do the trick. Then I’d go to bars. Just a 
thought.

There is a nice single track course near the Deep Lake rustic campground.  
It's one of my favorite destinations for a weekend out of the house.

[RBW] Rivendell paint color repetition: Your thoughts

[Eric Marth]

Hello friends — I've noticed that over the past few years Rivendell have 
been using some of the same paint colors on many frames through several 
production runs. If there's been a discussion of this practice, I've missed 
it. 

I can't quite put my finger on it but something about the same paint 
appearing on frames over and over leaves me scratching my head. Perhaps 
there's a missed opportunity to pin a color to a model or to cycle in new 
colors with new batches of frames? 

What do other members think? Do you appreciate the same colors appearing on 
different frames? Do you wish there was a wider variety of colors? Does it 
matter at all? 

Some of these colors I like quite a lot, others I appreciate. There isn't 
one that I dislike. The Lime Olive is always striking when it appears on a 
new frame, love it on the Hillbornes and Clems. 

The harvest gold, wow, looks killer on those Susies. Blew my mind on the 
Homers because they've always been a blue bike. 

I do miss the mustard from the older Appaloosas and the dark bronze that 
appeared on some Clems. These two colors paired with some of the newer 
colors currently in use demonstrate, I think, that Riv has some of the best 
paint colors in the biz. Really lovely stuff. 

Here's a far-from-complete list more or less off the top of my head of 
where current production colors have appeared:

*Lime-olive*
Platypus
Susie
Hillborne
Clem

*Mermaid*
Appaloosa 
Platypus
Roadini
Gus

*Harvest/Dark Gold*
Hillborne
Homer
Susie 

*Ana Purple*
Rosco Plat
Appaloosa (next batch in 2023?)
Road Uno or Gallop? (I can't remember but thought the purple was slated for 
one of these frames) 

*RBW Orange*
Appaloosa
Roadini
Gus

*RBW Blue*
Too many to list?
Appaloosa
Clem
Hillborne

[RBW] Re: Rivendell paint color repetition: Your thoughts

[Garth]

Eric, The current gold for the Homer is lighter than the gold for the Susie 
in the current photos. The Homer is more like butterscotch in the sun. It 
could be the same shade though as some of the Homer photos are on the high 
exposure side, and well no images ever looks exactly the same twice ! 

The original Susie(decals on the top of the TT) is what to me is decidedly 
burnt orange, like classic University of Texas Longhorn burnt orange. I 
don't recall off hand any other frames were painted with it. 

Myself I really like the yellows, golds, bright oranges(Clementine). A 
bright sparkly silver is nice too.  The blues and greens could use a jaunt 
out to pasture, and that's being "Southern polite", hah hah !

[RBW] Re: Rivendell paint color repetition: Your thoughts

[Joe Bernard]

I generally like the colors, and like that they cross several models so you 
don't have to pick a specific frame to get the color you want. BUT..two of 
the best bike colors ever were on the Bridgestone RB-1. We need bright red 
and yellow Rivs!

 Hi David! My PBH is 90.5 cm and the post in the picture had a 
 Berthoud saddle at a fuzz over 30.5” if that helps. I don’t want a 
 longer 
 stem than 135 so I think an XL would have fit me better. Arm 
 length and 
 whether you will run a swept back bar makes a big difference in 
 fit. If I 
 was running a more regular say 30 degree sweep bar, then the Large 
 is 
 probably a perfect fit with the 85mm stem. I think the XL would 
 work with 
 either bar with the right stem though.

[RBW] Re: Rivendell paint color repetition: Your thoughts

The HubbuHubbuH reminder newsletter 
 
had a schedule for 2023 bikes with colors - two models are listed as having 
a new color.

Re: [RBW] Re: What do I replace coroplast with in Sackville

I solved this issue in my Fabios Chest by buying a storage bin lid at 
Target and cutting it down to size. Works great, and only cost a few 
dollars.

Re: [RBW] Re: Rivendell paint color repetition: Your thoughts

[Keith Paugh]

Agreed.
I love the Harvest/Dark Gold colors, and the old Appolossa Mustard is so
lovely that if one ever surfaced in my size, I would recklessly snatch it
up on principle.

Normally green is my go to, but I was ever-so-slightly disappointed that
LimeOlive had made its way to another model so soon.
I thought we might get something new.

That being said, I would agonize over the perfect hue.
I'd love it... but don't envy being in charge of it.

k.

Re: [RBW] Re: Rivendell paint color repetition: Your thoughts

[Bicycle Belle Ding Ding!]

I think we’ve had enough mermaid and RBW Blue. I like the colors - I’ve got 
a mermaid Platypus and a RBW Blue Clem - but there are a lot  of Riv models 
in mermaid and RBW Blue. 

I would like to see a pearlescent pink mixte or step through one day. I 
know pinks are just totally taboo, but I still wish to see one. My 
uncontested favorite is still raspberry metallic, which is fortunate, 
because I have a Platypus in that color!

I’m glad the new Platys will be offered in silver. I like Rivs in silver or 
grilver. My boy’s Clem is grilver and I find that color to have stood the 
test of time.

Whatever the color, add metallic! 

Because sparkle is actually my favorite color.

 Hello friends — I've noticed that over the past few years Rivendell 
 have been using some of the same paint colors on many frames through 
 several production runs. If there's been a discussion of this practice, 
 I've missed it. 

 I can't quite put my finger on it but something about the same paint 
 appearing on frames over and over leaves me scratching my head. Perhaps 
 there's a missed opportunity to pin a color to a model or to cycle in new 
 colors with new batches of frames? 

 What do other members think? Do you appreciate the same colors 
 appearing on different frames? Do you wish there was a wider variety of 
 colors? Does it matter at all? 

 Some of these colors I like quite a lot, others I appreciate. There 
 isn't one that I dislike. The Lime Olive is always striking when it 
 appears 
 on a new frame, love it on the Hillbornes and Clems. 

 The harvest gold, wow, looks killer on those Susies. Blew my mind on 
 the Homers because they've always been a blue bike. 

 I do miss the mustard from the older Appaloosas and the dark bronze 
 that appeared on some Clems. These two colors paired with some of the 
 newer 
 colors currently in use demonstrate, I think, that Riv has some of the 
 best 
 paint colors in the biz. Really lovely stuff. 

 Here's a far-from-complete list more or less off the top of my head of 
 where current production colors have appeared:

 *Lime-olive*
 Platypus
 Susie
 Hillborne
 Clem

 *Mermaid*
 Appaloosa 
 Platypus
 Roadini
 Gus

 *Harvest/Dark Gold*
 Hillborne
 Homer
 Susie 

 *Ana Purple*
 Rosco Plat
 Appaloosa (next batch in 2023?)
 Road Uno or Gallop? (I can't remember but thought the purple was slated 
 for one of these frames) 

 *RBW Orange*
 Appaloosa
 Roadini
 Gus

 *RBW Blue*
 Too many to list?
 Appaloosa
 Clem
 Hillborne

[RBW] Re: Rivendell paint color repetition: Your thoughts

[George Schick]

I am fortunate to own a Rambouillet in the first paint edition - the 
sparkling metallic orange.  I've had many complements on it not just from 
other cyclists, but also from random on-lookers, as well.  Some of these 
have even said that they'd love to see a vintage vehicle of their choice 
repainted with the Nova Orange base coat and the Spanish Gold clear coat.  
It's hard to beat.

[RBW] WTB: Nitto quill adapter, 130mm

[Tom Goodmann]

Though likely scarce as a horn shed from a unicorn, I wonder whether anyone 
might have one of these and be willing to part with 
it. https://www.rivbike.com/products/nitto-mtc-quill-for-threadless-stem 

I've been on the restock notification list for Riv, understanding the wait 
for many things from Nitto.

Thanks for any leads!  

Tom

Looks like it is in stock at Soma:
https://www.somafabshop.com/shop/27507-nitto-stem-mtc-024-130mm-riser-28-6-22-2-slv-5875

I have one of the longer version that I think is surplus. But if you're 
looking for height, I would recommend the product that allowed me to retire 
the Nitto riser. This Soma-branded stem adapter/riser is the tallest I've 
seen anywhere:
