No rack. Small sackville rear mini bag.

This is actually timely, despite my joke about the dude who wrote the

Och, Kelly... it's tempting, and would fit me, but I already have a go-fast

Good luck selling, and to any tall buyers - this is a smoking great deal.

I have some silver shifters for sale on CL here in Seattle. If you're local
you can take $5 off and have them for $60. Otherwise, I can ship them for
the list price of $65. If both sound completely unreasonable shoot me an
offer. Here's the link:

I think that's the point, right, Eric? It's normal to vary between the two.
I mean, by many objective measures a Rivendell is a "good enough bicycle",
that is, tubing, component selection is definitely midrange. They *are*

Great...thanks for the replies, everyone.

I bought button lac from shellac.net years ago and it still goes off fine.
Just keep it dry and use fresh alcohol and you are good to go.

Use 'em! Mine are a lot older and work just fine. I might buy new stuff
for fine furniture finishing, but not bikes.

Interesting. I vary between the two. Are my bikes best or worst?
Probably not. Although folks who don't like what I ride would probably
consider them the worst. For most of my hobbies, it's the same way. Not
the absolute best, not the worst.

They should be fine. Just make sure you dissolve them in denatured alcohol and
not water or mineral spirits.

I used to have 'the worst' bike, but it was a POS that skipped chains,
braked poorly, was uncomfortable and pride of ownership wasn't there. It
was cheap though. Now, I don't know if my two Rivs (and Trek mountain
bike) are the best, but they work well and I enjoy using them...and owning
them.
Several years ago (maybe five?) I bought some shellac flakes, with the
intent of applying shellac to the bars on my original Rambouillet. I
just never got around to it.
In the process of working on my new-to-me Ram last night, I came upon
the flakes in my garage. They've been sealed in a plastic

The notion of buying only quality stuff that will last a long time is an
old one. The problem I have with "the best" concept is twofold: 1) The
absolute top notch of anything seems to cost at least double the version

"The Worst" idea is easy for me to like, although I admit my natural
tendency is more towards " The Best".
Bringing it back to bikes; I've many times told friends looking for a bike
to buy one that's affordable and ride the snot out of it. Figure out what

To state the obvious, consider selling the SO frame and adding the cash to what
you have. It should put you much more in the price range of a used Riv F/F.
Then maybe get a "vintage" craigslist frame for a single speed later?

The Velocity A23 and the Pacenti SL23 are wonderful choices for you. The SL23

currently. The A23 has a nice polished option. I currently have some of these
in stock in 24h, 28h, and 32h, if interested. Both the A
Agreed with Deacon. It took me well over a year to save up to buy my used

together. But now I've got it and man do I love it.
I do see some Riv's online for around the 600 range, but not often. I doubt

Michael,
You have a SO frame. Is it built up? How. With the exception of the really
muddy times, I'd imagine the SO could easily be the one bike in farm
country. If you put MSO's on it it will do dirt and pavements and trails
amazingly well. So I second Kieran's question: what are you looking f
What type of riding are you planning on doing with the new frame? That
would likely refine your search and help others to know what to offer you.
Have you considered whether a cheaper Soma or Surly - or an older steel
frame - would suit your needs?
