Hey guys--looking at a future dream bike, and since I'm dreaming, I might
as well dream.
I want a Rivendell bike that I can use for touring, don't want to pay for a
full custom job, and I want center-pull braze-ons (I am flexible in
real-life, but since this is a dream...indulge me)

Second that!. I've been wondering this a lot lately. While I agree that low

like the swift docena, have been nothing but fine on a mid-trail rivendell
I have the cheapos around here somewhere. They work great.

Purchasing a bike on a basis of need, I agree, is not likely. I suppose anyone
interested enough to open the thread may well understand the appeal already or
develop interest that would lead them to do research, especially at this price

Andrew, it's pretty unlikely that anybody "needs" your Jones. Creation
of desire and impulse and feeding frenzy in your audience is helped
enormously by putting some effort into providing careful and detailed
photographs.
Or perhaps you don't *actually* want to sell, in which case, clever.

Hi all.
I'm interested in buying a set of MKS Touring pedals (maybe they used to be
called Sylvan if memory serves?) that Riv used to sell.
Or I'd gladly trade for a pair of well-used but perfectly functional MKS
Sneaker pedals.
Thanks.

Interesting, Justin. I have a SunRace 8-speed thumbie which I'm also not
thrilled with. It indexes fine, but the action is too hard. Sometimes I have to
grab the thing with my whole hand to get the shift. I've used Shimano indexed
bar-cons in both positions, and they're definitely softer/easier/
I have SunRace actual indexed barcons that I'm not too fond of. I think I'm
going to widening my handlebars and in that process will probably spring for
new barcons made by Shimano.

I guess they'll take a look at your wheel, but another explanation (more
likely for a conventional old-school freewheel hub) could be a bent axle. I
know you haul home lots of groceries so that could be a possibility.

Yes I ran that downtube strap loosish. The bag has so much redundancy, you

I received the frame bag and mounted it on my Schwinn KOM-10. It fits

Great question, Andy! I'll find out toward the end of the month when the
