In my flickr pictures, list member "Campy Only" made a comment that rather than "dust" beneath the paint it may be "rust". I meant to reply to that but inadvertently deleted the comment (sorry Campy). I know he's had a few old bikes restored/repainted and knows a bit more about this than I do. I wa

Lee, Thanks for your comments. The rear rack is a Nitto Campee model that's sold by several sources. I purchased mine from benscycle on eBay, they also have the rack on their website at: http://www.benscycle.net/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=874¤cy=USD: . I think that Chris at VO

Jim, that is an elegant machine and a great color. What Nitto rear rack is that? It's a beaut, too. Thanks, Lee San Francisco, CA On Dec 22, 9:38 am, Jim Cloud wrote: > The first generation Rivendell Road Standard bikes were painted in > several standard colors.  These included orange, blue and

The first generation Rivendell Road Standard bikes were painted in several standard colors. These included orange, blue and green (these were/are Grant Peterson's preferred palette). In addition, for an extra cost, they added a contrasting creme color on the headtube. You could also have the fra

I briefly had Frank's Atlantis (before it went to another Frank). He has gorgeous bikes in fab condition and is a gentleman. Someday a 56-ish Standard will come along for me... Ryan On Dec 21, 7:46 pm, frank_a wrote: > Hi Mike, > The WTB 's measure about 40mm on a Mavic 719. > -Frank > > On De

funny, I just ran across your bike over the weekend on Flickr. To me that is the best Riv paint scheme ever. Then it shows up for sale... I'm very tempted. It's a little big for me and I'm not a fan of horiz dropouts... hmmm. I do love the paint colors. One question on your new custom, very nice B

Bruce, It's original. I've spoken to Richard Schwinn and he went to great lengths to let me know how different things are now paint-wise as opposed to then. You haven't seen them all, I've seen many other than the minty blue. Rivendell offered these in lots of colors. - Frank On Dec 21, 9:34 pm
