Beautiful. That's my favorite Riv, aesthetically. I saw one at
America's Most Beautiful Bike Ride in Lake Tahoe last weekend. I love
the color, the airplane guy, and the airplane spear through the
Rivendell logo. Enjoy!

Patrick,
I think your lung will leave us in the dust, but the turns around here
will slow you down so I can catch you.
Most turns is not by design but developed via horse trail for trees,
so they can be very tricky. Mt. Hamilton is the best example that I

Upon Keven's recommendation to address my foot pain, I changed the pedals on
both my bikes to the MKS RMX Sneaker pedals. So far so good (2 x 6+ mile
rides).
I am now selling my two pairs of Grip King pedals. Set #1 (Bombadil) has
350+ miles; selling for $40 + shipping. Might have a few scratches.
It's hook & loop, it's never going to hold a load like metal or
plastic buckles. The procedure described above seems like a simple
solution. "The seat bag sucks" is a little strong, IMO.

performance, and use Hetres everyday.
All this being said, the old reliable CdlV is a great all-around tire,
and it will fit the Riv 650B bikes and most conversions no pr

I think in some sense they work like sunscreen. Sunscreen has been show to keep

the coolers my not keep you cooler initially, but the longer you're in the sun,
the cooler you will be for the same reason.

The also sell arm cooler wings, which are simply the arm coolers with an
attachment that goes across the back. This is an option if you think you might
be annoyed by the arm coolers sliding down or the grippy thing around your
upper arm. DeSoto also has leg coolers.

I just fixed my first flat on the Pari motos, a small thorn pierced
the tread. Overall, I love the way these tires ride.

I love everything about this bike. Especially the color. Very smart
choices on the build. I like the reverse levers on the m'bars.
If you can set it up next your your desk, you can just stare at it all

Just piling on to concur with what's been said. Generally, I think the

most applications.) Looks fine, and works great. If you've got plenty
of clearance, inside mounting would be fine, too.

I use inside mounting. Am I the only one? I zip-tie the leather flap
to an appropriately sized piece of plastic (credit card works great)
and "snap" the plastic bit inside the metal fender between the rolled
edges. Secure, quick release, no fender modification needed. Zip tie

I replace the front brakes on my Hillborne with the 720s a while back in an
attempt to eliminate loud squealing I was getting with Tekro Oryxes. I got
the squeal squelched but I find the braking power somewhat less than the
Oryx, which doesn't make sense, as everything I've heard gives wide profil
There was an article in an old issue of Bicycle Quarterly about
mounting leather flaps inside the fender. This is for folks using
aluminum fenders. You can check their back issue index for finding the
article. But with a VO flap or Riv Sackville flap it needs to go
outside. I have the VO flaps on m
Hi all. I just wanted to follow-up with pics of my "finished"
Quickbeam. I expect it'll undergo some tweaks over the next month or
two. Right now, I'm using it as my commuter, but I hope to start
taking it out for some long rides pretty soon. It's in 650B-mode with
an old set of Nifty Swiftys. I ha

It's a wash. Outside mounting allows a wider flap, theoretically
stopping more of the splash when hitting puddles.
Inside mounting follows the tire radius, reducing the trajectory of a
