Re: [RBW] Heron Road Seatpost Size?

Zac, apologies if you already know this, but you can often tell if the top of a seat tube has been pinched down, because the sides of the slot won't be parallel. If it looks like the slot gets narrower towards the top, I'd try to carefully pry it open and see if a 27.2 post fits, but whether you wa

[RBW] Heron Road Seatpost Size?

Can anyone confirm the seat post on their Heron Road is 27.2mm? According to Sheldon Brown's database, all Heron's use a 27.2 post, but the one I just tried to install wasn't going in at all. I rode by a shop and their calipers gave 26.8-9 for both the seat tube and existing seat post. The bi

Hi! To answer your second question, no you cannot make an 80s bike into a Rivendell. I have an 80s Mountain Bike and an Appaloosa. The Appaloosa is great, and it fits me a lot better than the 80s mountain bike. The 80s mountain bike is 80% of a Rivendell, but it's that diminishing return, that

You should get an Atlantis and if it’s too heavy to commute, sell the Cimmaron (they’re very collectible too) and get something lighter for commuting. Or keep them both and get something lighter also! I have an Atlantis and it’s my lifetime bike, best bike I ever had.Liz in Sacramento On May 23, 20
