Eric,
While it's not the style of bike that I would normally post on this forum,
you may enjoy the pictures in this album of my Waltworks mountain bike.
I've left it raw through two seasons of riding and I think it is
interesting to look back on how the finish has changed. I'm thinking about
Eric: What gear did you use?
All: wonderful photos and reminisces.

Wow, Eric, that's a fine rig! I don't know the topography of the PBP, but I
can only imagine that a dude on such a beautiful single-speed must have
caused some heads to turn. Perhaps next time you'll just ride the whole
thing in bare feet for a real challenge. Ha!

Hello all,
Does anyone have a blue or grey grabsack that they're not using? The only
ones available at Riv now are olive, which wouldn't be my first choice (I
know, I'm being picky).
Cheers,
Gary

Eric, I imagine b/w photo of you on the Quickbeam in the PBP in the rain
must look just like those pre-WW2 photos of the Tour. Very cool!
Patrick, Yes, I did share my trip in Nepal a few years back here, and I
remember your reflections of hiking the trail in the late 60s. What a blast!

MacKenzy has a good point. A Rivendell is valuable enough for its design,
ride, quality, and style that -- I think, depending on one's finances and
responsibilities -- one can justify owning one simply for the pleasure of
having a truly wonderful bike to ride; utilitarian considerations come
second
A Clem set up with utilitarian parts for winter riding combined with a
Hillborne with higher end parts for summer riding sounds pretty awesome,
thinking about it!
I bet that long wheelbase on the Clem (and Joe) would handle real nice in
snow, too

Speaking of headwinds: Back when I was a youthful 48-50 and my daughter was
2 or 3, we had a Saturday morning routine where I'd pull her in the
2-person trailer on grocery shopping (second space was for groceries) trips
and then do a South-th-back-North out and back on the Rio Grande paved
path, at
I certainly won't blame you! I'm fortunate that my grocery runs are (almost
always) flat runs, the stores being North and South of me so that I ride
parallel to the river with literally just a few feet of elevation change
either way. It's when I ride East or West, I get the hills.
But after riding
John - I've come across photos of your bike on the internet previously.
Maybe a blog or Rivendell image group? Eitherway - definitely an
inspirational setup when building my romanceur. None of my bikes are that
well internationally traveled at this point. Small trips around the pacific
northwes
I'd suggest not overthinking or overly justifying the purchase of a
Rivendell. If you're keen and really are into that style of bike and afford
it just go for it. I finally picked up a second hand clem L from a user
here and the details on the frame are astounding. I love the mixte style
bikes
Maybe this is heresy here, but I ride my ebike on windy days. Hauling
groceries uphill into the wind is doable for me, but I'm absolutely
miserable on my Clem when I do it. I can't haul as much on my ebike, but
putting it into turbo on those days puts me into the best of moods!

I found that an M16 flat washer fits very well, similar ID as well. Picked
up a few from different materials, will likely go with stainless and maybe
shim it out a bit with some blue tape as I'd prefer a friction fit rather
than applying any adhesive.
Our local independent hardware store has a
Haha, good one Andy. This hue has been a desire since I saw Dave riding a
Masi in said hue on the big screen way back yonder. Not creamsicle but
burnt Appaloosa orange, Rambouillet's are the bees knees :)
I'm unsure a Onyx hub is in my future?
Seems you have some (less than ideal) experience with
Oh wow, so cool! Very inspiring.
You've placed the bar quite high.

Holy moly you have ridden some amazing places. I can’t name four states
I’ve ridden in never mind four countries. Working on Canada this summer
though (that’s sorta like another country). Thank you for the inspiration.

I have a brown B67s that was mounted and ridden less than twenty miles so
nowhere near broken in that I would trade.

Thanks for all the replies. I have basically come to accept that any Riv I
get will need to be N+1 for now. My current commuter is a 1x9 running disc
brakes and 700x42 (though I dabbled with 650x48 for a blink). I will likely
keep that around for the time being. The evasion is pretty awesome for

George, can you tell me more about the professional saddle - I'm not
familiar with this model. If it's any narrower than the B17, then it
probably wouldn't work for me, but, I would love to see pics!
Nice hue, Hugh! That's an Atlantis advertising genetics it shares with an
early stablemate in that color. Not creamsicle, but it doesn't take much to
conjure Rambouillet.
Nice build, I'm sure eager for your impressions of the Onyx hubs,
especially after you've ridden some miles and several sets
