I have a 99 VW Eurovan Camper which does a great job of hauling two bikes and two people. Lots of bikers I know have Honda Elements. Two or three bikes easily fit in the rear with two passengers up front. Too bad they stopped making it. Larry LA CA On Tue, Mar 20, 2012 at 9:08 AM, davidfrench wr

[RBW] Brooks Saddle Squeaks

2012-02-23 Thread Larry Schellhase
My Brooks Champion Special squeaks when I ride it. I had it off my bike for a couple of years but I missed the looks and feel so I remounted it a couple of weeks ago and for a while it was quiet but now the noise is back. I hate noisey bikes. It is impossible for me to tell where the saddle is sque

Where are you measuring? I do not claim to know the correct way to measure a tt but on my 68cm Atlantis the distance between the head tube and the seat post is 59cm. The Rivendell geometry chart from the era my was made says the top tube on a 68 was 62 and the tt on a 64 was 60 so I must be measuri

Bicycle John in Burbank built both my Rambouillet (2X) and my wife's Rivendell once. The staff there always seem to appreciate both bikes but I don't think they offer any lugged steel frames or Riv-like components for sale. I have also have had positive experience and reception at PV Bike in Palos

I have a VW Vanagon Camper and I can get both my 68cm Ram and wifes 65cm Riv in the bike. I have a glider board on the back seat with fork mounts and it works real good. Big bikes will fit into the back of a Honda Element with both wheels on. Larry On Thu, Jan 13, 2011 at 3:02 PM, robert zeidler

My wife is 6' and has a pbh of 90.5, I am 6'5" and my pbh is 97.5. Early in 2003 we both ordered Rivendell's. When Grant sent to design sheets to us he included a note to me saying the bike he had designed for me was nearly identical to a 68cm Rambouillet and if I wanted to switch my order my depos
