I'll double the suggestion to use an XD2 crank and leave off the big
ring. Riv, or a flexible local bike shop can swap out the rings you
need instead of being stuck with ones you don't want. I don't thin Riv
has 30t 74mm rings in stock, but I'm sure they can get one in a jiffy.

A front fender that is pushed up squarely against the fork crown is
going to drag first on the front, since the fork offset effectively
moves the wheel forward, misaligning it with the fender. What you need
to do is bend the front of the fender up, creating a slight divet in
the fender at the crown

I stopped by RBW and Keven's renewed Legolas is still available. Keven
replaced the bashed chainstay and had it freshly painted. It also has
an uncut steer tube, so it's about as close to new as you can get, now
that the LOTR movie people have ordered a stop to Riv's use of the
Legolas name.

Yeah, I understand the appeal of the ENO system. You gotta wonder
about ring availability though in 15-20 years, and from only one
source. It's great for WI. Proprietary gear means more pie for them.

Besides cantis vs sidepulls, I believe the Legolas has a higher BB but
I don't have the numbers.
FWIW, they have different geometry.
ST/HT angles (59cm) are Legolas 73/72.5 -- Roadeo 72/73.
Chainstay: Legolas 44 / Roadeo 43.5
Rake: Legolas 45 / Roadeo 43
It adds up to confidence inspiring handli
Does anyone know if there will ever be another run of the Legolas?
Seems like RBW sold them briefly a few years ago and not since then.
Seems like they are a rare breed among Riv's.

IIRC, it was a short run one summer 3 years ago, with the idea that it
would likewise be an occasional/seasonal short run frame, but i don't
remember seeing anything else from Grant about it lately. I'd guess
with the name issues and the fact that it was never meant to be a
regular production frame
I think they did 2 runs of'em and that was it.
Not 100% though.
Cheers!

Whoa, that's great! Just what I would want in a production Rivendell.

I understand the diagonal Bomba will be priced at $2200; the extra $

Call me a retrogrouch, but my initial reaction is that I like the
