Yeah they don't seem to sell the build kits any more. In terms of shipping,
turns out shipping a frame is only $10 cheaper than sending the full bike.
I did however think I would be able to source components and build up my
own one cheaper than a complete bike. However this doesn't seem to be th
Thanks! I can't find 650b rim brake compatible wheels in Australia. I'm
even prepared to build my own wheels if I can locate some rims. That is
also a struggle. It seems that rim brake compatible 650b wheels in
Australia really are becoming dinosaurs..

Thanks Patrick! Yes it certainly is a puzzle. Moreso where to find the
pieces one I've selected them! The main thing I'm really struggling with is
the 650b wheelset.
It is hard because I could go and get a Soma/Surly/Salsa frame for the same
price, with much easier access to wheels (disc brake
Welcome, Owen! It’s exciting and full of over-thinking to puzzle out a bike
build, ain’t it? Grin. One of the gifts of this group is the expertice in

shimano Claris or Altus with microshift thumbie shifters, Origin8 stem,

Riv used to list some very affordable build kits that would be really hard to
beat price wise unless you already had a bunch of components.
I suspect everything shy of bars and wheels would fit in the frame box.
It would be worth asking them first since you are already getting a frame.

Have you looked at bike flights shipping costs? I am pretty sure that they’ll
be cheaper than what Rivendell uses, but I’d imagine you could buy the
bikeflights shipping and have the frame picked up from Rivendell.
Its really hard to know what stem length you’d want, without knowing what kind
Hey everyone, long story short I'm from Australia and after a Riv bike so I
