While not shots of staff bikes, here are a couple of shots I took at
Rivendell when I was there in 2007.

I'm really thinking a IGH is a great way to go with kids. Only a single
shifter, and nothing for them to break (relatively). I have a Nexus 7 on a
650b rim just waiting to go on a bike!

Hello Horace,
They are a bit big for her but she's a fairly determined child. For
braking she mostly uses the interupters. When she shifts you can see
her reach her fingertips out to engage the brifters. It's not ideal
but it works fine for her. She turned eight in December and got the
bike for X

your question.

That makes a lot more sense.
I might be reading too much into the Rivendell "Philosophy" but my

he probably pays a little more than the average for the bicycle

Interesting!
Bruce's tires look 'super beefy' I think partly because the wheels on
his 52cm frame are 26" and partly because of the black sidewalls as well.

Priceless advice, thank you. I am going to try each recommendation,
methodically. The seatpost is a Kalloy Uno, and the frame is
(probably) Reynolds steel tubing, so I think that is a chrome finish

I will try that, too, if all

I am unsure of the setup on your bike. Is the bridge threaded for the

the same bridge?
