I have 2 bikes set up each way (2 Rivendell and 2 Rivendell-ish). I prefer the DT shifters, but both are okay. The bar ends tend to bump things while you are handling the bike from storage to the bike rack, etc and you'll be out of gear. Neither is hard to get to, once you have a feel for wher

I know a shot in the dark and I know some other talls out there looking for such, but maybe, just maybe someone is holding onto a mighty large Quickbeam (or SimpleOne) that’s collecting dust? I’ve been planning to wait for the RoadUno release, but I got re-inspired by Bones’ build and ready to

Looks awesome! I love the Frank Jones Sr - and dream of building one up with Sturmey drum brake hubs, 3spd - I think this is the only caliper brake SS bike from Riv (correct me if I'm wrong!) so it's the ideal candidate... On Saturday, 25 December 2021 at 06:29:46 UTC-8 Arthur Mayfield wrote:

I can't think of a right or wrong placement for shifters. or shifting too soon, too late, too much or too little ((( laughing ))). I mean hey , I hop on the bike, I pedal and the bike goes, and shifting just happens along the way like all the rest of the scenery. If I told you a "how/wh

My experiences mirror some of the other responses here. My last shifter setup on an Atlantis also employed the dt shifter for the front and bar end for the rear. Worked very nicely using a an original Silver up front and a Shimano DuraAce for the rear. My SamH uses DuraAce bar ends front and rea

Thanks so much for all the inputs . It was very helpful. I will start of with downtube for front and bar end for rear, so that I get a feel for what works and a later point convert if need be . I am planning to route cable housing for barends outside the handle bar wrap , may be secure it using

Congratulations Joel. That's such a beautiful frame and color. I remember when Johnny posted it after he acquired it. Nice to see it in the possession of another enthusiastic Riv rider. Enjoy lots of good rides in 2022:-))) Best, Rich in ATL On Friday, December 24, 2021 at 11:37:47 PM UTC-5

I like Steven's suggestion of the stem mounted shifters, too...my only concern would be running a front handlebar bag might be iffy with the cable housings exiting the mount. I was pondering a switch to drops a few months back and was considering the stem mount and Silver shifters because I didn't

I've been running a dt shifter up front and bar end on the rear on my Atlantis for some time now. I've found I get better shifts up front this way for, maybe, two reasons - shorter cable run with less friction from housing and accumulated grit and much easier lever actuation. I find pushing d
