Ryan- Panasonic makes all Grand Bois, Compass, Soma, Panaracer, and Rivendell tires (and probably more). They allow each company to design their own tires to their own specifications, and they obviously make good tires! On Fri, May 30, 2014 at 4:49 PM, Ryan wrote: > Yes, indeed and no offense

Yes, indeed and no offense meant, of course. People like me who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones...Also...Rivendells are so good it's hard to stop at oneparticularly if they don't overlap. Your Hunq and QB are quite different bikes...but they both seem to thrive on roads and trai

Indeed, I am not. But I could be, if I needed to be. Grin. On a completely unrelated note, I was at my LBS picking up parts (the owner kindly does the transaction outside, so I don't get blown away by scents). For the first time ever he was impressed with something on my bike, noticing the Barl

Frank I do you by chance have a Betty Foy/Yves/Cheviot in your garage? I would love to buy one but really would rather sit on one first to make sure we get along. :) I am in South florida and not seeing many from this area in here. Cheers Victoria On Wednesday, February 27, 2013 10:3

After discussing experience, preferences and finances, Jared told me my 5'11" x 89pbh wants the 60cm, and he proposed the last green sale frame. Given the frame discount, I asked about custom paint, and Keven Mowen hooked me up. His painter's backlog was low enough that my frame could be done

Hey Tom, Sorry, I wan't clear. I'm saying the Sam is also a go anywhere do almost anything bike, though obviously not as loaded as the Hunqa. And the Riv folks will help you build it up beautifully. I imagine if I was into club rides or cared about speed on solo road rides, I'd love to have a

Patrick, I'm just reading all about the Hunqa on the Riv site . . . you know how it is when you enter new water: toes first, and next time, you dive in! So, a Sam H for now, which will be a better, and better-fitting bike than I have ever owned, and who knows what will come next? It's great to

Hey Tom, I worked closely with Grant et al at Riv on my Hunqa build and am delighted I did. To see the craftmanship Mark puts into every build is beautiful, and I would not have gotten it had I had someone local build it up. I continue to be amazed at the fluidity with which my bike goes from

Frank, I'd be a pleasure to look over your garage o' Rivendells; I'm on the learning curve here . . . I see already that folks find it hard to have just one. This whole thing started as a way to a) correct old errors in buying the wrong size bike; b) pare down from three bikes to one: uh, yeah

Absolutely I'm up for the swap, Ben. I've had what I now know is typically great and patient help from the RivFolk, and for this first bike, I sheepishly confess, I may just go with a build kit, as I feel pretty far away from knowing both the current component market and more specifically what

[RBW] Re: Recently joined the group; and now a new Riv [frame] owner

Hi Tom! Similar story here - I bought the last green 60cm Hillborne sale frame, which was a shop return. With custom paint it'll be only a bit over $100 from new frame price - Yay! I'm at the low end of 60's pbh range, figuring to use bosco bars and enjoy the extra retreat. I have an Albatro

Shout out form the opposite corner of the country...well, not exactly the corner but close enough. +1 for pics of the build. Even just a pic of the frame sitting in your living room is good. --Smitty in PDX On Tuesday, February 26, 2013 6:15:55 PM UTC-8, Tom Goodmann wrote: > > Just over an hou

[RBW] Re: Recently joined the group; and now a new Riv [frame] owner

The thing about builds for a Rivendell frame is that you can try a lot of variations over a period of months, or even years, and the frame maximizes each combination. So if you approach it as a long term project and don't count pennies too closely, it becomes a fun learning experience. -- You rec
