So many beautiful paint jobs here! Thanks for the insight everyone! (I'm
dreaming of a new Hillborne in October with maybe a matte, Cherry Red paint
job similar to the Rodeo images they have on the site today :)

Hi all. New to the group, and new to the 26.8 o.d. seat-post size. Also

Thanks everyone for your thoughtful answers.
I got measured at a bike shop and they confirmed that my PBH is 72 and my

Super long shot here but I'm wondering if anyone has a smaller, older

Happy to pay a good price up front.
Thanks!

With chromoplastic fenders such as SKS, I use zip ties if there is no
mounting point on the frame. Like so - the zip ties seem to last pretty
much indefinitely - on that particular bike, the fender has been mounted
with those ties for about 20 years. You can see that on this particular

Timely share, this may be the inspiration I needed! My Albatross bars, bar
end shifters and fresh Ourys have been waiting for me to take action.
You’ve got me thinking about using some old narrow 22.2 bars and taking one
end to a grinding wheel to make a punch.

I am curious. As someone who has owned both an older Homer and MIT Homer, I
was wondering why you wanted to buy the older Homer. I had a similar quest,
and my experience was different than my prior expectations.

Alfonso,
I am tempted by the Atlantis. Luckily for my bank account I am usually able
to talk myself out of buying a given Riv by the time they actually go on
presale and once they're sold out it is beyond my control :).

Hello Drew, thanks for you message. I shall try and call Riv to discuss my
size. I've sent them an email but haven't heard from them in 3 days, I
guess they're super busy.
If you don't mind sending the photos directly to me that'd be great. Thanks!

I've been thinking a Homer might be the thing for me for a little while now.
And a ride this week confirmed, at least in my head, at least in theory,
that this is something I would like to pursue with more gusto.
So, I'm starting my search for an older one in very low-key manor. Because

I happened to see the email right away and saw the proto when it was still
for sale. This was also the version of the roaduno that I was hoping for.
True single speed frame, vbrakes, big tires. I knew it would sell quick,
but I allowed the financial logic part of brain win out over the N+1 part.
Here is an eBay listing for a kit of fender hardware. The chain stay

It's a sandwich held together with two screws and nuts, and then it just

Hi Kim,
It was only the cutting off the end of the grip that I was not happy with. The
method I described works great, looks just fine to me, and is not at all
uncomfortable. But thanks for the suggestion.
