I agree with Patrick that your Veloce FD didn't like the vintage-ish cranks
you're using. The rear shifting (I remember you're using Silver friction
bar-ends) should be fine with that 8-speed cassette and an 8- or 9-speed
chain.
1x would probably work for the kind of gearing you like but yes,
Also & regarding Garth’s comments regarding the possibility of this Clem L being too small for me; Mine is a 52 & “should” be correct for me according to Riv sizing suggestions. I have put nearly 6,000 miles on this bike and dearly love it. But, I think I’d have been very comfortable going one size
This pic shows how far into the head tube my stem currently extends. The
minimum insertion line is 2 cm below the lock nut. FWIW, I do not notice
any movement riding the bike. I only notice it straddling the bike, feet on
the ground & putting my full weight into the grip area of my Bosco bars.
Garth, thanks but not certain I understand. You say (I think) minimum insertion is “always to top of lock nut”. My minimum insertion mark is 2cm below top of lock nut. The quill goes quite a bit deeper to well below top of steer tube. I will remove to get an accurate measurement but it is quite lon

If you need to force the cable IN, then it will absolutely be a bear to get

Since you've measured your stem at 22.2mm and since you perceive the same

two choices:

Regarding item #1, stem measures 22.2 & of course it is a 1” steer tube. Seemed unliked Riv would sell a stem for one of their bikes that was the wrong size, but worth checking for sure.Regarding item #2, I did remove & replace stem & it did not change. I remember reading that the minimum insertion

Pam,
Have you considered trying downtube shifters? I have always loved bar end
shifters, but one of my bikes has 9 speed downtube indexed (gasp!)
shifters which are just wonderful to use, and are my current favorites.
They are Shimano Dura Ace, but these seem unobtanium nowadays. Microshift

My drive-side Silver 1 shifter quit holding tension last week. This was
after two years of regular use on my most-ridden bike, a Sam Hillborne. I
swapped the shifter for a Silver 2 and kept on riding.
Last night, inspired by this thread, I took my shifter apart. Apologies
ahead of time but I d
It appears the diameter of the stem is out of spec as all I see of movement
in the video is the stem itself wiggling inside the steering tube. Do
measure the diameters of the outer stem and inside the steerer, and in
multiple places around the circles. Something is out of spec as that's a

Couple of thoughts right off:
1. if you pull the stem out to the minimum insertion line and re-tighten
it, does it still move? Sometimes, if you've inserted the stem too far, you
may encounter this issue. It can be mitigated by getting a shorter stem or
cutting the current one down a bit (advanced

Make an offer if you think I'm priced too high.

I just bought a lovely Romulus complete. It came complete from Riv in the
early part of this century and Riv's standard build included 170mm crank
arms. I'm a devoted 172.5mm guy so I switched them out. The rings were
pretty toast, so I'm selling just the arms with no rings. $60 shipped

Great eyes! I missed that. I believe they will stay because I don't think
it would make sense to change the design that people seem to like BUT its
also important to note that the Gallop went through two prototype stages
with the swoop tube before changing. So a prototype doesn't matter until
