Hey Patch, I used to go up and ride the loop around redwood regional park, definitely some challenging hills in there but I remember it being fun. I've just made it out to Marin, been here a week. Would love to link up for a ride and join you for a mixed terrain adventure out thataways, and itd

[RBW] Re: Front derailleur options for 38/24 front, 11-36 rear?

Good question, chef. I did consider other options, including a 42T 1x setup like I had on my previous bicycle. When I looked at Rivendell's build options and other writings, they suggested the 38/24 for all-around riding on a variety of surfaces and if you didn't have a preference, go with that.

Re: [RBW] Re: For Leah re my Gallop

Leah- love it! When you buy used, you can pretty much break-even on the subsequent resale. It is just a matter of timing liquidity. And you could possibly transfer parts over to the new frame, if you like the set-up, and sell just the frame. Or decide that lugs aren't crucial. Many possible out

Re: [RBW] Re: For Leah re my Gallop

Planned impulsivity, I like it. That's a very sound plan in my opinion because you can likely score a TIG Roadini for a good price, and all the parts would swap over to either a lugged Roadini if you love it, or a CHG if you think you want something longer. I know you're not trying to be, but I th

[RBW] Re: Front derailleur options for 38/24 front, 11-36 rear?

Hi Robert, just wondering if you have considered a 42/28, or other options for the front? I have been running a Silver 38/24 with a chainguard on my All-Rounder for the past year or so, and I'm planning on converting to a triple, swapping out the guard for a third, 46T ring. I found the smaller

Smarter, yes. Will it work? Doubtful. I think I need more cash to let it go than folks are willing to spend. This whole project looks to be winding down soon and I'm ok with it 🤷 On Sunday, May 12, 2024 at 10:41:21 AM UTC-7 Ryan wrote: > Sounds like a smarter idea...then buyer can configure the

Re: [RBW] Re: For Leah re my Gallop

Valerie, I’m going to take your formula and apply it. I’m looking for the used 50 Roadini and if anyone sees one first ,will ya send it my way? And then maybe this fall I end up with the lugged and sell the TIG’d. I don’t know! It’s an adventure! I plan to be impulsive! Not money-savvy! A real

[RBW] Re: FS: Droptube Rivendell Custom 54cm

Sounds like a smarter idea...then buyer can configure the frame as desired and parting out can maybe recover more of your costs...good luck with the sale! On Sunday, May 12, 2024 at 11:08:56 AM UTC-5 Joe Bernard wrote: > Frameset with headset, BB and Nitto post, $3k plus shipping. > > I can us

[RBW] Re: FS: Droptube Rivendell Custom 54cm

Frameset with headset, BB and Nitto post, $3k plus shipping. I can use the fancy wheels on my Clem and part out some stuff, plus a frame is much easier to pack than a complete bike with Boscos. Would rather not! Joe Bernard Clearlake CA On Thursday, May 9, 2024 at 5:05:13 PM UTC-7 Joe Berna

Hey there! You have lots options and an easy to get to fun one is Wildcat canyon. You can get off at Del Norte BART and go a little ways on the Ohlone Greenway before taking some streets to connect up with Wildcat Canyon (sorry I can't fill in the gaps on that one, this is where we need google
