It doesn't seem like a guarantee that the SH will get that color.

If you want one of these grab it quickly. Skip at Surly has also put the
word out
http://surlybikes.com/blog/
and that kind of endorsement, which seldom happens for anything not made by
Surly, will bring a big response.
Might be all gone already.

Another opinion - am 6' with an 89cm pbh and ride a 56cm fist
generation Sam Hillborne. That was after a lot of discussion and
worry on my part.

On the new generation of Hillborne bikes, I could (and probably would)
ride a 60cm frame. H
Jim already has my money for it. (Helps that I had to stop at his

First bid up, and much better photos loaded. The color is even better
in these views. Well done Riv!

IIRC, the city bike was going to be all black, so maybe there's another bike
in the works from Riv-Works.

I think the color and that is going to be Soma's call.
That blue is gorgeous, so what ever it ends up on will be out of the park!

Just saw the close-ups... it's a very nice color. I think I've heard
it called Pigeon blue. Very close to the color of this nice Capricorn
that everyone loved @ 2010 NAHBS .

I am suprised no one has said anything about the fork on this bike
yet. With many here having a sharp eye on the bend, this one appears
rather abrupt even for waterford. The last auction had a wonderful
smoothe bend.
I am sure it does exactly what it is supposed to, just curious.

And as for function, I'm riding a Hillborne right now with the exact same
gearing: 24-36-46 in front and the amazing 12-36 9-speed in the back, and my
experience is that this gearing on this bike is outstanding.

The other place I've seen that fork tip is in the Riv Video on youtube
showing how to install a Big Front Rack. The bike was a big Bombadil
and it had those fork tips. My Bombadil doesn't have those winged
tips. Wingtips?

Took out the Bleriot with Hetres for a spin and while hanging out

something else? Can

Are you talking about the little grey disks? these are a known
limitation of the silvers shifters, they're great but not perfect.
rivendell has a kit, but i think you can also piece together your own
kit at the hardware store, here's the video that shows what you're
looking for http://www.youtube.c
As i'm thinking about Silver Shifters, i was looking at the videos and
i realize that i've had my silver shifters mounted reverse for the
last 10 years. What i mean is i have them facing out instead of
facing in. I'm guessing you want to face them in to protect them from
falls etc.
But now i'm w
I don't think they are front / rear specific. I find that having the
D-rings on the outside makes them easier to adjust friction while
riding. Both the pods & levers are clearly marked "L" and "R". Now I
know one reason.

If you're at the hardware store getting the washers as shown in the
Riv video, also get some star washers if they have them. I used them
in place of the lock washer as they seem to hold better.
Riv mentions that the gray plastic washer is a weak link, would be
metal in a perfect world, but it ain
What I'm gathering is that all I need is a lockring and a bunch of
spacers. Basically.
Going to try tomorrow. When I'm less……..lubricated than I am now.
