My answer is much like Joe Bernard's. I would choose my custom. Either the
first one (stolen April 2021) or the second one - currently at Joe Bell's
awaiting paint. My frame (especially the first one) is/was much like a
Roadeo. So much so, that Mark suggested a Roadeo instead of a custom. I

There are multiple different models that Schwalbe call Marathon. Have a

So far as Rivendell models go, I have:
A Riv custom frame from late last century
A Romulus
A Bleriot
An Appaloosa
If I could only keep one, it would probably be the Bleriot, as the closest
thing to an all-round bike.

I had 4 Rivs, a Riv Road custom, a 700c All Rounder, a Hunquapillar, and a
Atlantis, and still I would love to find a 26” All Rounder. Grant convinced
me that 26” whees were lighter and stronger, and have never been able to
shake it. Steve

Hahaha. Leah, I think you already took the cake! You having a pair of
Platypuses has always seemed perfectly reasonable, natural, and sensible.
Now if I can only find another 58 Hunqapillar I'll be all set. (I suppose
I'd settle for a Bombadil...)
This thread is great.

#1 model to choose: the one you have/could easily get. For me that is the
Appaloosa which I have now.
If I were starting all over...
#1 dream, but I cannot get it right now is the original Atlantis 64cm with
one top tube.
**Let me know if you are getting rid of one**

Hey, thanks! Yes, I am running Ultradynamico on the raspberry bike. I do like
them, a lot, actually. Though I hear they wear out quick (maybe 1k miles) when
you run them tubeless, which I do.

Are you running ultradynamico tires? How do you like them? I've been

My Rambo is currently running Panaracer Pari-Motos 650bx42's actual width
on Velocity A23's. I love these tires on this bike and it has become my

Thanks Eric. Inspiring stories to be sure. As frequently as Jobst and his

they had to keep their rides light. No water bottles for Jobst!

But I was once in similar shoes and guess I had gone about 5+ years after

Rivendell has changed so much over the years. When I started admiring their
bikes they were strong advocates for lugs, brooks, comfort and practicality.
Any Rivendell I owned would need lugs. I don’t think their tig frames are
competitively priced compared to their competitors, and they lose th
I still prefer the shorter chains models, a Hillborne would fit the bill
nicely.

My own recollection is now somewhat fuzzy regarding all the different Clem
batches but I can at least confirm Mustard Clem H's were available going
back to 2016 as this was the first (only?) batch where the 65cm H was
offered and I bought a 65cm complete on pre-order. I recall later
