as someone who's looked into this... The Ritchey's have shorter
wheelbases and chain stays, and the seat angles are much steeper. And
as mentioned tire clearance is less. All features I have come to
prefer in the Rivendell bikes.
And of course there is the absence of those beautiful lugs.

Correct. The Ritchey in my size frame, 58cm, has 73.5 seat and head
tube angles, 41.5mm chainstays. Wheelbase is 99.5. No lugs, but the
welds are pretty nice.
It has great sentimental value and quality Toyo construction, but
needed a repaint. I rarely rode it because the clearances were too
tight
very snazzy. I've been riding mine a lot. It's dynamite.

Good luck with that. I had a General Motors mini van 6 years ago that

Oh, and the chainstay bridge was drilled and tapped to mount a fender.
The clearance between the stays is quite narrow, however, and I can't
see squeezing a fender in there -- currently I have a tab extending
from the fender to the bridge.

Yeah, but then you divide the cost by 2.

Great stuff, Ed. Thanks for sharing. It's fun to re-purpose a bike. I
recently took my 1983 Raleigh with full Super Record and tubular
wheels and converted it to a clincher 3-speed fixed gear bike. Now, a

road, doing something new,
Thank you very much for this recommendation. I'm about to grab my
