Michael, welcome to the group and congratulations on your first Riv. It's a
good looking, thoughtfully put together bike. Nice of you to include the
build list. Enjoy the ride!
Best,
Rich in ATL

Here are my thoughts on the subject
1. If you are going to run black rims on modern low spoke count, you get a
pass for essentially as much black stuff as you like. The dark rear Der
also gets you some balance
2. Not being brifters is the key step to making it more of a retro look
3. On those l
Compared to old Campy SR hoods or the Shimano road levers Riv sells, I'd
say yes. But just eyeballing the hoods on your current brakes, I'd guess
not a lot. Unscientific, I know.

Hi All,
Thanks for the kind replies! And I appreciate the increase in views to my
Flickr account, too!
@Leah, I do remember you! That was a fun night! I'll do my best to make it
to PBE this year, as I've been asked to help out with the ABEA booth
(https://abea.bike/). Hope to see you there!

Congrats on the Riv! It looks great, and I agree with Jay that I think
black hoods/silver levers would look perfect, but only if you've got the
itch to switch levers and re-wrap.
Scrolled back on your flickr a bit, your Fisher Sphinx is so rad!

Bike looks great! Regarding the levers, if they're comfortable then keep
them. If you're really looking for something else, I think the Tektro RRL
SR in Black/Silver would look great (and have a nice shape).

I think that the ratio of black to silver with the black rims with silver
brake tracks (and the tanwall tires) is just about right and the colors
look very well balanced. In fact, I think the silver stem looks right and
that silver levers might also look better, but I’d not increase the black

Very nice! And welcome. I’ll be interested to hear more about how you like
the ride.

Hi All,
I hope your new year is off to a rolling start!
I've been lurking in this group since 2010, all the while pining for a
Rivendell. I finally got a lugged Roadini frame and have the bike built and
rolling.
