Ditto what Doug wrote. The top of the bag does sag just a bit, which
I'm sure it wouldn't do with a decaleur, but so what. The bag sits
very solidly and comes on and off pretty easily. The strap that sells
with it is also very well done.

So yesterday was my fourth time riding the 3 Capes 300k and it was
quite fun. This will probably be my last brevet on my Hilsen as my
custom rando bike will be on the road soon. The Hilsen seemed to
really shine in yesterday's configuration. I reinstalled my Berthoud
fenders as the forecast was for
in your comment about the shifter bolt loosening when you shift past
the last gear-
if you put a longer M5 mounting bolt for the shifter all the way
through the rack hole, then put a washer and locking nut, would it
help prevent the shifter from coming loose when you shift past the
last gear?

I wasn't on my Riv, but I *was* riding lugged steel (friction shifting), and
one of the fastest riders out there was on a pretty orange Ram.

It was indeed a wet and wild ride. I experienced about five hours of steady

No problem just design the decaleur to reach the bag!

Well done, Eric. Maybe the problem is on my end, but your link takes

I agree with Mike's suggestion to "go big" for a handlebar bag. The
additional capacity is useful for longer rides (and, I assume, brevets
although I don't ride in those events). There's little weight penalty
in having a large bag, and it doesn't have to be loaded to the gills
at all times. I of

I like the idea of the longer bolt and nylock nut. I'd need a large
washer for the top - the bolt is special, with a wide head (and sloppy
socket interface). The ideal setup would be bolt, washer, shifter,
washer-with-a-tab, boss, nylock nut.
The washer-with-a-tab would stand the shifter off the s

I'm sure you have put a lot of thought into your design.
Why do you make the stem attachment part out of two
pieces rather than one?
Berthoud makes theirs that way because they have to be adjustable
to fit on any bike, but yours are custom and made to order for a specific
bike.

I know Riv recommends a large big back rack for frames sized 57cm (+).
Does that still apply to the Bleriot or other 650b models?

Tomorrow is the big day.
I hope to savor each step in the build process - I'm torn whether to
rush it or build it slowly because I'm so excited to take it out.
Hrm. Rivendell bicycles cause a lot of stress for being such drama-
free bicycles :)

Take lots of pictures please.

Yeah, O20 is across from the original Bike Kitchen, too.
You can go build your own from random steel for cheaps.
Then when you get tired, go next door for awesome ice cream (Scoops).
Or across the street to vegetarian mexican / barbeque (Pure Luck). It's
actually not bad.

I took a nice ride down to the central area of Tucson today, and
wandered over to the Cyclovia event that was being held near the
Community Center. There were many cyclists, of all strips (although I
didn't see any others on Rivendells), enjoying riding on streets that

Hi all,
To my utmost dismay, today I realized that my 3 month old Berthoud Touring
saddle is all twisted on the seat post on my Atlantis. Please check how it
looked in January when I installed it: *http://tinyurl.com/4mw79ms *and how
it looked yesterday: *http://tinyurl.com/4ea9qfe*.

Nice setup on your bike! Lovely place.

Confounded variables. Too many. But, you are on the right track. Isolate
them. Control them. There are professionals who can measure your leg lengths
and find a difference, but something is up. Is it the saddle? Loose bolts?
Pedaling? The skeleton? Muscle strength? Pain is your guide, unfortunately
Upon more examination as I finally got the chance to clean up the bike
tonight, I think the rust is coming from the Berthoud (composite) fender
attachment. Seems odd they wouldn't use stainless.
I am going to do that annual maintenance and Framesaver though anyway. I've
never pulled or install
I hope you'll provide us with a post PBP report.
