I'm in.
Partly because I was needing a new, "nice", sweater anyway, partly because
I already own and love a Riv sweater; the wooly pully commando sweater from
a few years back.
Pre-orders aren't a big deal to me, I'll either get the sweater or my money
back, so no concerns there. I trust Grants
When I read one of the recent posts about the sweater preorder and
supporting Rivendell the new mixte project crossed my mind. I wonder if
there would be enough interest in the mixte project to fund
developing/ordering the lugs. Perhaps as a kind of frame deposit. It's
very much just a thoug
I did this ride in October 2016. It was great. Like other people have
suggested, I'd recommend a few detours. If you have the time and the
inclination for a lot more climbing than "necessary", there are a lot of
good side routes to pick and choose from.
You could start by picking and choosing s

Anyone dissolve their own shellac for coating their cotton tape? I was
looking for some blonde shellac only to realize I had no idea if I should
choose flake, button or seed shellac, let alone dewaxed flake? The blonde

I rode Brooks B-17 and Selle Anatomicas for years - they are comfortable

Appreciate the comments. Like Ginz, I wish that I had purchased the
previous Riv derby tweed sweaters. I don't want to miss-out again.
However, I am a bit concerned about buying sight-unseen. I do want to
support Riv, and I tend to trust Grant and his decisions. I might as well
do the same with

D'OH! Your right of course. I was confusing Mark's bar with the Soba
bar. Carry on!

Yes, they are definitely not Noodles or RH Rando Bars.
Just had a good thought--since Mark built the bike up with Mark's Bars, I
should check Mark's Staff Bikes page on Riv. Plenty of examples on his page
with Mark's bars setup.

By my crude meas
Mark's Bar is neither, it is/was a more modern roadie bend where if you set up
the ramps flat then the drops will point at the ground at about a 75° angle.
For positioning of bar and levers think cyclocross, a short intense ride with
hands rarely in one spot for more than a minute.

Small price drop, if anyone is interested. How about $30 plus the $9
shipping?

Pretty sue the Marks bar is just a lighter version of the Nitto Noodle.
