I too have a namesake on the Rivendell roll. I keep thinking my twin
will order a custom Riv -- in my size and in a color I really like --
and one day it will arrive at my door my mistake.
Hey, it could happen!
P.S. I knew a guy who had an unusual last name, and the only other
family with that s
Welcome Mok!
I'm a newbie here too but been tinkering with bikes as long I can
remember. My guess is that you have the wrong size of the rack. Only
solution I can see is raise it a bit by using a "Tubus Lower Rack
Mounting Kit" or similar. But the kit rely on two mounting holes so
you may have to
There are both 590 and 597 made. Look at the drop down chart here:

Is there a wheel size around 600mm?

Hi,
You could use a couple of stay mounting clamps and attach the rack
higher.

Hey Bill, your doppelengager is in SF where I'm originally from. I
think that SF BR actually did some art work for Riv many years ago.
The funny thing is that I had just gotten ahold of SF BR through
Facebook and then came across your post here.

It's gotten to the point in our house where it works like this. "I'm
not going to the swap meet this year because I have all the parts and
pieces I need." She say "You should go because you never know." I'm to
stupid to argue with logic like that.

For sale is a 60mm rake fork build by Roland Della Santa, great
looking fork with a good price. With the new rake, it will take a
52cm reach brake, ie long reach. One inch threaded steeler and plenty
of thread for a level saddle/handlebar setup.
Lugs are from Heron and it has round fork blade.
Thanks. I asked Rivendell. That was the only size that rack comes
in, so I was going to have a SS piece machined by one of my customers,
but I think I will give that a try. Take care,
Mok

I haven't seen any 597 rims, and all 597 tires are really low end. 590
is good, but not that much bigger than 584.
The International is a wonderful bicycle. What's wrong with sticking
with 630/622 wheels?

Hi all,
First time on here, and it's my first time building a bike from the
frame up. I'm hoping someone here can help, as I'm a complete
neophyte. I've been riding an older (cheap) French bike for the past
10 years and finally took the plunge and bought a Rivendell Saluki.
Frame only, of course-
597 is a Schwinn tire, usually referred to as the S6. You can get
tires for them, but only low end 1-3/8" tires. Rims are hard to come
by outside of steel ones via Schwinn collectors, even then they are
not common as the s-7 (571!) which is one of the more baloony schwinn
tires. You can get fanta
Hi John:
As much as I may admire French aesthetics, my advice would be to sell
the French parts for some insane amount of money and buy something
made more recently by Shimano. I'm sure the French stuff is pretty to
look at and cool/vintage, but you'll drive yourself nuts trying to
make it work wi
I just noticed this for the first time:

I mean, I know that newer is not necessarily better, and 11 speeds are
probably not better than 9, but uh...I think you'd be better off
running some bottom of the line Shimano stuff that that old Simplex.
In my opinion of course. You can get a Sor
Oh good, I'm glad that I'm not the only one and thus coming off as a
curmudgeon :-)
There probably isn't a whole hill of beans in difference between parts
made in 2002 and those made in 2009, but between parts made in 1980
and parts made in this century, there is a huge difference :-)

Now I feel that maybe I was too harsh. The modern stuff will work much
better, with less fuss and screwing around, BUT I recognize that
making old French parts work on new bikes is a somewhat popular hobby
in certain cycling circles...
If a person wanted to do such a thing, I'd be fairly confiden
I think the Rivendell credo would dictate that,
New parts just for the sake of being new and shiny or having better
marketing=bad
New parts that work a whole lot better than the old parts or are in
some way more practical or serviceable=good
And in this case I think there's a ton of functional i
