I'm heading the other direction. I want one bike that has all the things the way I like them and one bike I can focus my attention and accessories on. When COVID started I had 6 bikes and 0 Rivendell's. I found a Hunqapillar from a friend here on the group and now have it and another bike. Soon

Good luck Max. I was on the same quest when an amazing person from this group, Matthew Williams, saw one and let me know about it. I posted here every ~6 months letting folks know I was still looking and it took a few years to find one in my size, but it did happen eventually. It's a cool bike,

Hoch you thinking of getting one or did you find a 58 and wondering if it'll fit? It took me a few years to find mine so if you find one in your size, be ready to act :) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from t

I was hoping for some advice, but I got that and a bunch of awesome photos. Just wow ya'll. And so many hunqapillars crawling around :) I'm hearing a lighter rear rack and a larger trunk should do me nicely until i get more serious. I'll see what I can find in terms of a sackville or similar. Jo

I've been trolling through old Riv Reader's, some fun reading I remember doing a long time ago when those were new. Thanks for sharing and archiving! Question though, and it's probably an easy one. I own a Hunqapillar and love it. When was the Hunq offered? What years and how many years? Any ide

Sorry bout that. If I could only have one Rivendell it would be a Hunqapillar. If I could only have one bike that wouldn't be it though. I live in Portland Oregon, I need disc brakes for winter commuting. I did rim brakes for many years and rebuilding wheels gets old. -- You received this mes

Fun videos, I like the casual pace, which seems to match your vibe perfectly. A trick I learned for applying grease to the stem and seat-post... and this is free advice so you get a 100% refund if it doesn't work for you. Apply the grease to the head tube and seat tube, not the seatpost or stem

Hello, Winter is coming ** And so fenders are needed. I have a Hunqapillar with some big 2.1" tires. My fender requirements are that they must fit, be pretty and not too short. I like long fenders because long fenders + mud-flaps keep the muck off. Here's where I'm at... - Planet Bike fe

Keen looking bike, though the PH seems to be a bit basic for my liking :) I've often wondered the same about a Cosmic Stallion type bike vs a Riv Joe A. I'm tempted to sell the herd and simplify... How's braking vs. disc? Rim brakes are just so retro and less effective than disc, especially

Lambbo, you can use a circular file to remove some of the material at the end of the caliper arm, thereby allowing you to run the pads slightly lower. I've had to do this as well. As for long-reach brakes in the wet. I have a rim-brake road bike that was my daily commuter here in Portland,
