Mine is the exact opposite, my knees feel best on 170s but they feel
inefficient to me as I'm 6'7". I settled on 175s. Used to ride 180+ when
I was younger but alas my knees don't agree with the longer cranks anymore.

Is there a rule of thumb to guide crank length choice?

I think those blug photos make the dirty banana color (my name for
their "mustard") look much darker than it actually is. If you check my
photos from when I took a test ride

you can see a range of light/dark. I think the photos whe

Those are jokingly called "dork discs". But I think they are great for

As for the colors, I like both. Though I will say that I think an earthy
color matches the name "Appaloosa" better than the light bl

Wut is up with that big goofball spoke protector on the rear hub? Is Riv

Kwik Bitumen.. conjures "Keystone Kruiser XL" and "Tarsander" as possible
alternates.

It is the cassette version... and it definitely was hideously expensive.

Just a quick question...your Phil hub is a free hub, not the hideously

Maybe if they are lowering their bars to the optimal height if they are
using a stem decaleur, which is not adjustable.
So, if you want your bag to sit squarely on the rack, you need to get the
bars at a close enough height.
Just a thought, but I really don't know from porteur stuff.

Low bars and low trail do not, to my knowlege, have any connection. I think
that the reason why porteur bikes have lower bars is that that many
Rivendell riders like bars a lot higher than other riders like them.
The bar on this Rebour-esque (so, I assume, typical) porteur seems pretty
typical; it

A lot has to do with geometry; i.e. most actual porteur bicycles have low
trail geometries which usually coincide with a fairly low handlebar by Riv
standards. I've found that the higher & further back my h'bars are (I now
use Boscos on a Handsome XOXO), the more of my weight is on the rear whee

Hi, I was looking at Google photos of bikes with porteur racks, and I
noticed that most bikes had un-Riv-like lower handlebars, placing the
handle bars closer to the rack and the load.
On the Riv staff bike webpage, Sean & Jenny have their handle bars set
closer to their porteur racks as well.
When I was working at Plymouth State University as their Horticulturist I
used to leave notes on bicycles locked to trees asking them not to. Pedals

Interesting. Are the dies made by a machinist there at the Taiwan forging
facility or are they spec'd out to an independent tool shop? Also, where
do they do the final machining on the cranks (drilling, taping, polishing,
etc.)?
