Again, I know Grant is not a lover of IGH but this bike just seems perfect
for an Alfine 11 or Rohloff setup, no front deraileur needed, nice straight
chainline, beatufiul.

There was some discussion of this when the first pictures of the frame came

I don't think that I've seen a Rivendell that I wouldn't want in my Guhrage.
I guess I'm wondering how this Bike is different. I know that Riv's all

Four are still in paint. Three are painted here, one has been assembled and
needs to be boxed and shipped, and not everybody's on the Forum. The

So let me get this straight. There were 10 of these made IIRC and only one
person has fessed up to receiving theirs, and hardly any pictures? Something's
fishy. ;)

Strange that the clearances are that tight. It's also pretty strange that
it can fit wider tires/fenders than the brakes can handle. (Tektro 559 I
assume?) Seems like cantilever brake mounts should have been more
appropriate.

Never having touched a Paul Racer, * in theory * the Racer or any
dual-pivot centerpull should maximize clearance for a given brake reach,
since the dual-pivot centerpull configuration allows both arms to move up
they actuate the brake, rather than one pivoting down as is so on
dual-pivot sidep
Well, I was going to wait till it was fully built -- fenders, racks, bags, the
works. But the inevitable glitches reared their ugly heads: 41mm Marathons
don't permit 52mm VO fenders, so tried terra cotta SOMA Xpress, which permit
the fenders, but then it turns out that the brakes aren't wide e
