Wow! What a beautiful biking family! The independence, the grace, the beauty of riding. Your daughter looks especially stylish with the one pant leg folded up! I hope you do get a new head badge soon. On Sunday, October 13, 2024 at 12:55:02 PM UTC-7 Bicycle Belle Ding Ding! wrote: > Stop it.

Such a GREAT bike, the swoop is classy but the canti studs that allow v-brakes are the major advantage of this prototype. I have the 55cm and can’t say enough great things about it. I had flared drop bars and those were excellent with mini-v-brakes (80mm arms) but it really shines with sweptbac

Your taping job looks pretty good to me. What are you trying to accomplish, exactly that your present tape doesn’t do? More cushion? Nicer color? Longer life? More grip? I know what I like and what I don’t care about and on the 1/1,000,000 chance that it’s helpful to you, I’ll talk: Comfort is m

I should have said no one role won't do it the way that I wrap them, which is overlapped just under halfway. Not sure how else to say that. A tight wrap. But if your wrap is more spread out it ?MAY do it, but I still doubt it. They are cool bars. I'm a fan of tan/brown with the Atlantis but eve

This one is unique as its the only prototype with the stock headbadge. I think the other ones had Gallop tube decals but no headbadge. On Sunday, October 13, 2024 at 6:35:01 PM UTC-4 Johnny Alien wrote: > [image: PXL_20241013_211750993.jpg] > > -- You received this message because you are subs

[RBW] WTB: 700c Single Speed Wheelset

I want to get a second wheelset for my Redwood to experiment with 700c vs 650b (currently set up). It’s been a bit since I’ve needed wheels and I’d normally build my own but would rather find something ready to swap in. If you have a wheelset to sell let me know. Alternatively if you have a rec

When I wore long hair I could never get caps to stay on my head — lost a good bright yellow Campy cap in a strong wind, and I had to resort to under-chin elastic. Also, I never needed hats in winter to keep my scalp warm, tho’ I did wear various head coverings to keep my ears and face warm. But wh

Thanks for the replies. Yeah, I knew it was an earlier run. The bike was sold in May 2017 by a Riv dealer here in Indianapolis, which is no longer in business in the state. Hazel is 13 years old but living downtown she gets around pretty much all over by herself or with a friend; most often on

Congratulations! I hope she loves it. Regarding the headbadge, I'm pretty sure Rivendell HQ will sell you one. You may even have a choice between bronze or pewter color, since they made both and picked colors at random. At that time, they came loose in the box, and the owner was supposed to

It’s true; the early Clems didn’t have the cream fills. We have a 1st edition Clem H in that French blue and no cream fills. I think it was the 2nd run that your bike came from because the first Clementine colors were orange and turquoise. (I think?) On Sunday, October 13, 2024 at 10:23:06 AM U

Perhaps Leah can chime in, but I believe that French blue was an early run color, before they were doing the cream accents on the lugs and fork crown. When I had my 2019 bronze green (since sold) it had the cream on it. As you have probably noticed, the head badges are attached with adhesive,
