I could definitely see myself saving up and grabbing one for Spring/
Summer fast rides next year. It's on my shirt list now along with the
VO Rando frame.

It looks good but I am still not sure how I feel about the sloping TT

Hi folks,
I'm wondering if anyone has used power grips on the grip kings. If so,
how can I get the bracket with the compression clip attached to the
pedal? Thanks!

The Rivendell site says that Power Grips will not work on Grip King
Pedals.

That would be me! :)
It's also advertised on a local Chicago "fixed gear" forum. But let's
just hope no one buys the frame to make it a 650b fixie conversion.

Any info about frames/prototypes available at the sale. How much they
were going for etc.

Hey all,
I've been accruing parts for a while and I figure it is time to divest
myself of some of them:
shimano 105 wheels, araya rims - these originally came on the romulus,
I don't use them on the romulus and I have too many wheels so they
need to go.
tires and cassette not included

There was 4-5 frames sold for approximately $1000. A 53mm Atlantis, a
couple of 51cm Salukis, and a 56cm bombadil.
They had tons of good stuff, and people ate them up.
I will post some pictures later.

Good job! Might be similar to the Country Bag I got earlier this
year. If so, one hint - on mine the dowel ends are visible to the
world. So about two minutes with a Sharpie darkened 'em up quite
nicely. Now, the dowel is still there, but not peeking out.
Would be jealous about the garage sale
It was great for meeting some people and seeing some people again and doing the
ride.

What was wrong with the frames that they went that low? Seems like

The photos on the site had frames with no headbadges. Were they

Yup, it's a great combo. I'll bet you anything Nashbar or one of those

Nothing at all wrong with them. Standard Riv frames, headbadges and

I totally agree, and I think therein lies the problem. They don't work
right with regular indexed shifters. I road a friends bike with a RR
derailer
I have the Edeluxe and Cyo lights, and in my experience the Cyo does indeed put
out the same light, equally well focused and aimed. Yes, it's in a plastic
housing, but I think it goes well with some bikes (like my Pashley Guvnor:
