Bill,
A 58 Homer would have been a better fit for my PBH 89. That’s an a little
closer but probably not enough. I’m going to check into it anyway for
grins. The Paramount is such a beautiful frame. Thanks for your
comments.
Regards,
Lyman

The pin and shackle fell off my Brooks B17 saddle recently. The saddle was
purchased from Rivendell and is less than 3 years old. I asked Riv for
guidance but have not heard back from them.
Has anyone in the group experienced this problem? Any guidance appreciated.

Hi,
I sold my Cross-Check this past spring and bought a Homer. The ride and
the fit is superior. The staff at Rivbike were awesome dialing in my

Yes. The Baggabond may be too large for the Erlen and maybe too heavy for
what its designed for. Just a thought.
Back to the stick. It’s kind of an “on the fly” approach. But maybe a
piece of black bamboo and contrasting cord would be more elegant and appear
more purposeful.

Hello,
I’m new to Rivendell family and enjoying this discussion on ways to
lighten your bike through wheel sets.
Can anyone comment on the Rivendell 700c Velocity built Standard Atlas
wheel set in terms of lightness and comparison to other possibilities?
Thanks,
Lyman ATX

and walks together here in Austin. Neighbors hanging outside actually
visiting. Physically distancing but still very much fulfilling the social
need.

is 89 which is lowest end of Riv sizing.
