Re: [RBW] Re: Rivendell's of the UK

Merry Christmas/happy festive interval y'all! I'm really enjoying seeing these UK rivs coming out of the woodwork. @Steve - yes we absolutely should be thinking of a Rivride. Obvs, Yorkshire would be convenient for me, but happy to travel. @Ant - a) love that pic, gorgeous bike and scenery. b)

Re: [RBW] Re: Rivendell's of the UK

Thanks Ryan! I actually painted the frame myself. Charlie - it's a Dawes Ranger from 1984, repainted and rebuilt by me. It was the first commercially produced mountain bike in the UK to my knowledge. Handbuilt at the Dawes factory! It's essentially a very stretched out Galaxy, extraordinarily

Joe, thats a nice looking Sam, those black fenders have me reconsidering the polished aluminums I recently purchased.. Are those tires 700c x 44? On Thursday, December 19, 2024 at 2:57:03 PM UTC-5 steve...@yahoo.co.uk wrote: > Charlie...last fsmily holiday was Threshfield. > Next time... > > >

Steve, that's interesting... I'm from Clitheroe with family history in the Dales too. Some living still in Burnsall. Curiously though I have never really done any riding in the Dales having moved to Manchester at 18 and starting my bike journey there. Would love to change that! On Monday, 1

Re: [RBW] Re: Rivendell's of the UK

Steve, mos def! Although, I suspect my Sam is a bit bigger than your bikes at 60cm (I've got a 92 PBH), I'd be intrigued to try either of yours. Charlie, thanks for the kind words, I absolutely love that bike and have hardly ridden anything else since I built it. FYI Comms are a bit delayed on

Re: [RBW] Re: Rivendell's of the UK

Joe, I need to try out your Sam as I now think it's the perfect balance of my two. (Privileged, I know!)Next time I'm in God's Country I'll bring a bike down. Mum was Horsforth and Chapel-le-Dale with Ribblehead family history. We can natter over a pint? Joseph, I was looking for the right vinta

Re: [RBW] Re: Rivendell's of the UK

It's a Dawes...that's a name I haven't heard in a while...and the reynolds decal on Joseph's bike not only tells you the tensile strength, it specifies all-terrain tubing. Very classy looking...love the color and those wavy-patterned fenders! On Monday, December 16, 2024 at 9:19:15 AM UTC-6 cha

Re: [RBW] Re: Rivendell's of the UK

Great to see more emerging from the woodwork! Steve, somehow I feel that Rivendell bikes belong in Edinburgh - it just feels right! Joe, that hillborne is ace - so new and fresh looking. I'd love to get out in the dales some time... Joseph I love that build. What frame is that built around?

The photos came across fine and clear; thanks for sharing. The landscape with the Atlantis reminds me of the opening to Rob Roy, tho’ isn’t he a Sassenach? Seriously, I hope Rivendell owners outside the US will continue to share their photos; the landscapes and backgrounds are as interesting as th
