I third the idea of trying friction paste on the seat post to help your
slipping seat post as long as it is the right size seat post. You might
also try a thinner cable hanger such as a surly brake hanger since you are
hitting the seat post with your Nitto brake hanger:

Bill, your glowing endorsement of the Sam Hillborne influenced my decision to

If it is a 26.8 you may be able to flex hone the ST to get a 27.2 in there
(Handwringers need not apply). Also Nitto makes 27.0 posts, not sure about
27.4.

The post on my Hunq had to be knurled to prevent slipping. I think Riv has

Someone on this list modified his original-issue Atlantis for discs and was
very happy with it. I forget who, but he sent me a photo -- best of both
worlds (for off road, at any rate), IMO; and a very nice bike.
Perhaps he will speak up?

I'm with Eric. It seems that 4 out of 5 times I send a message, I don't

Yeah, I expect Grant could vastly improve the AR without changing or losing

that Grant would still make a bike with lightweight tubing, relaxed-sporty

Okay, I admit, I can be the world's worst procrastinator, but after

To clarify, "new Nobilette All Rounder 26" to me doesn't mean an exact

ditch the horizontal dropouts for vertical, for example.

I follow R&E in Seattle almost as close as I follow RBW and tend to agree
with their philosophy that there is no reason for a bike to have toe
overlap. They tend to design around wheel sizes that eliminate toe overlap
and they also go the "more fork rake/less head angle" route to eliminate
toe
Fair enough Patrick, I have had bikes with varying amounts and I should
have been clearer that I think some toe overlap is OK for me (ie my 51 Sam
has some when I run fenders) and I've also never had an accident due to it

One's reaction to TCO -- or rather, "TO" -- is very personal. Grant has
said more than once, in effect, "It's not a big deal." Obviously it is a
big deal to some people, but it is not in itself a design defect and does
not mean in it self that the wheel size is incorrect.
My personal preference is
Toe overlap is one of my gripes with a lot of Riv bikes - while it's
generally a product of appropriate geometry, rather than a design input, as
mentioned wheel size is a big contributor and IMO if you've got anything
more than slight overlap, then the wheel size is incorrect.

Yeah, that’s what I’m thinking. Remember when Riv was one of the few (only?) to
offer a bike spec’d with 650B? They were committed to getting some tires out
there, and though we had to wait a while, the industry followed their lead. If

Not sure the Ultradynamico is fast rolling on pavement. The knobs are so
widely spaced that the tire is bumping from one knob to the next and the
casing seems stiffer than the RH tires mentioned above. I did a review of
them on the 650B list a while ago:

If Grant were to put a 26" wheeled All Rounder on the market again, I
wonder if that might not help initiative a return to market of decent 26"
wheel tires other than knobbies and heavy "city" tires? Rivendell designs
have driven trends before ...
There was a thread on the Boblist which mentioned
Yes, but I believe the Protovelos are more or less fleshing out concepts for
possible production as opposed to simply building one offs. More calculated,
with a particular goal in mind then a " hey what about a 55 Mixte in sparkly

Any touring/rough stuff frame they currently offer with disc brake option.
I have no interest in disc brakes but the frame would allow folks who
require them to buy a Rivendell; that would help Rivendell stay afloat
financially.

A canti Sam Hill with 26" rubber. I find my 700C about perfect, but for one
thing: I experience toe clip overlap in constant stop and start urban
riding (I use fenders). I would also appreciate the quickness of getting
going with 26" wheels. I realize 650B would get me the same lack of
overlap,
