@Roberta -
"Obenauf's has been my go-to in the past"
I have been using Obenauf's Heavy Duty LP for a very long time, years in
fact for my leather shoes and my Brooks saddles that I did own. I recently
received in the mail a Brooks B-66 saddle from purchasing it on eBay. It is

It's much harder to find good options in 38mm vs. 42mm, unfortunately.
Neither size is as popular as I'd like though!
The Rene Herse Babyshoe in endurance casing measures a little smaller than
in lighter casings; about 39.5mm on A23s for me. I will take your word that

Jason, I never thought the day would come, either. I left Joe with one top tube smudge so he can never forget it was my bike first. 🤣 If you end up with that Clem one day it will be a story too good to tell. How funny! I loved that bike but it wasn’t getting enough miles, and I hate to see a Rivend
I never thought I'd see the day that Leah parted with the blue Clem, but I
absolutely would have predicted that if it happened, Joe would buy it! :D
It's fun to watch its journey though different hands, in different places,
all with the common goal of making fond memories aboard the common bike
Nice work, Bill! Maybe it's high time for a 2024 plans and goals thread.
I'm not so much about the resolutions, but working towards some healthy and
joyful goals is a great thing.

I have weighed in on that thread that was quoted, but I’ll chime in again
because my name got mentioned.
I had both bikes, loved both bikes. But the Platypus is the better fit for
me. I like to ride pavement and I do like to go fast, and that’s the sweet
spot for a Platy. And, it fits me like

I do have the Homer set up with drop bars, but since it was my Dad's, it's
not exactly my perfect size and it's a 650b model (not sure if they all
were) and I don't want to change much of the bike as it was my Dad's (he
had Alt bars on it).

Hi Chris,
Thanks for sharing your story. I’m sorry to hear about your dad’s passing
however I’m happy to hear that his bike is being put to good use.
To answer your question, I’ll verify that the Leo is fast(ish), as you put
it. I just bought one and have about 150 miles on it.

Nice build Kai - for sure the wildest Rivendell I've seen yet. Just looking
at your pics makes me want to go bike packing. Dare I say gnarly ?!?
Sooner or later it's gonna snow and you're gonna miss that two wheeled

I've ridden the Betty (new to me), Cheviot and Platypus. I've also ridden,
but just a little bit (like just to get the feel), the Clem L. You cannot
go wrong with any of the above.
Platy rides nicer than the Cheviot. Clem L is more "Cadillac" like. Platy
"seems" faster. My first Riv was an
Howdy all,
So I realize I'm posting this on the RBW list, so there is bound to be some
bias and that's ok.. ;) I'm a Riv owner myself with a current AHH I got
from my Dad when he passed and have previously owned a Bleriot and a Ram
for a short time.
So, my question is simple- does the Roadini
There's a BlueLug video on YouTube where they visit Mike Varley at his bike
shop, and a similar question was asked about his frames and why they ride
so well. This is a question I've had ever since riding a BMC Monstercross
as it's an exceptionally fun and zippy ride for pretty unexceptional tub

I'm in NJ too - Essex County, but I get out to Frenchtown every once in a

I'll add that trail, the contributing dimension, can allow induced flop
from surfaces you ride on.
When there is a greater distance between the tire contact patch and the
projected pivot point of the steerer tube a greater lever arm is provided
to the input of the riding surface. On flat smoot
