Re: [RBW] Rivendell Prototype mountain bike for sale

Wasn't the original Riv mountain bike built generally along the lines of the All Rounder which was modeled on the Bridgestone XOs, thus with far lower stack than later Rivs? The 55 cm (c-c) '92 XO-1 had a 56.5 or 57 cm tt and the All Rounder was modeled on this, thus with far less tt slope and sho

Re: [RBW] Re: chain rub

First, check chainline. Doesn't the Gus have typical long Rivendell stays? This should structurally minimize the chance of such chain rub, so perhaps your spindle is too short for proper chainline. Does Riv spec a spindle length for that frame and a 1X11? OTOH, if the chainline is correct but you

[RBW] chain rub

I built up a Gus recently. I used a 1x11 Deore derailleur and the chain rubs the tire in the largest cog. The chain above the chain stay clears the tire, but below the chain stay the chain rubs the tire. Is my problem 1x11 cassettes with 135 spacing? I'm only running 2.25 tires and the Gus is r

Thanks, and thanks, too, Bill. I already have the Falcons in hand, and she's happier with the de-blinging of the parts. And yes, absolutely, she's had good use of the bike all these years (bicycles is how we met!) but I do my best to keep it rolling for her. - Andrew, Berkeley On Saturday, Jul

I'm puzzled by the posted frame size for this bike. For a bike with a 19" seat tube I would expect to see a much shorter head tube. Unless it just has a top tube with a lot of slope. It's hard to tell from that photo because the picture was take with the bike on a downward slant. On Thursda

Andrew, sorry to hear this. if you haven't already ordered the falcons, I have a new set that I would be happy to give you. I picked them up to test out some new handlebar options for my son's X0-3. Sorry to say, soon after I finished that project, the bike was stolen from his garage in SF. On
