Re: [RBW] Where can I read try out a ton of different Rivendell models?

Hey Eric, first I wanted to say I have enjoyed your YouTube videos! I thought the Roadini with drops was great and exactly what I thought it would be like. I tried out a ton of their models like a Hillborne, a Roaduno, a Platypus, and some others. I really enjoyed all of them and to be honest

Re: [RBW] Re: Lugged Roadini and Charlie H Gallup

I hear you. But 85% is La La land in my experience for a non-lugged Riv frame. This coming from someone who sold a pristine D&D custom painted Roadini for far less than 85% for what I paid. On Sat, Aug 17, 2024 at 7:17 PM Jay wrote: > I would be interested in a lugged Roadini If I could easily s

[RBW] Re: Lugged Roadini and Charlie H Gallup

I would be interested in a lugged Roadini If I could easily strip my complete build, sell the frames for like 85% of what I paid (in Feb) and then rebuild with a few modifications from my original build. Mostly though, I would select a 54cm over a 57cm. I'm running my C17 as far forward on th

Re: [RBW] Where can I read try out a ton of different Rivendell models?

Anthony — Cheers to you on making the trip and trying out some bicycles. You left out some important intel: What did you think? Have you settled on a bike? Were there any you liked more than others? Models you said "Oh yeah!", others "Not for me"? Let us know! On Friday, August 16, 2024 at 5:

[RBW] Re: Lugged Roadini and Charlie H Gallup

I called Riv today to ask several questions, one of which was the status on the lugged Roadini. It seems that originally the launch was scheduled for this Fall. However, they’re applying the Roaduno delay to the lugged Roadini, meaning it’s likely it wont be available until early 2025. Several

For the albatross bars, I'd recommend the Nitto 90-190 faceplater stem . My albatross bars, when I was using them, could slip if they weren't torqued down well with a Nitto aluminum stem. The Nitto 90-190 110mm stems are in stock at Rivendell

Thanks Keith - another nice Ram, well proportioned. Good luck with your stem experiment. I’m 6’ with 90.5 PBH, so slightly more equal upper/lower body. Depending on the setup my saddle height is 78-79. Tom On Sat, Aug 17, 2024 at 2:50 PM iamkeith wrote: > Here's my 60. Bars level with sadd

You are right. Jeff confirmed it’s a Ritchey fork. Although he didn’t specify which. Thanks for the history. That’s really cool. On Fri, Aug 16, 2024 at 11:36 PM zybariver wrote: > Pretty sure that's a Ritchey Swiss Cross fork. I've seen a couple of > Jeff's cx bikes where he's used that one.

Armand, fair enough. If you’re going to go to the trouble of changing frames, it’d better be for something just right! AppaLanta: congratulations! Can’t wait to hear your impressions of the bike. On Saturday 17 August 2024 at 16:05:05 UTC+9:30 AppaLanta wrote: > I would like to say "Hello" to
