Leah,
Re the windy day bike, thanks for your comment, it made me laugh.
It is more or less coincidental. I bought the Appaloosa first, in 2017. It is
the smallest model with 26 inch wheels and is outfitted with Schwalbe Big Ben
tires, Bullmoose bars and the new Nitto front basket rack with a Wa

Truth is the people in this group are generally obsessive compulsive and way
too deep into the details and minutia of bikes and Rivendell in particular.
The average Rivendell buyer likely doesn't get so involved; they are sucked in

I don't agree that Riv riders are too into the details. I don't agree that the
average Riv rider is not into them. I don't agree that Leah would feel
differently about her Clem L without other Rivs as reference because she still
would have needed a shorter stem and longer car rack to make it wor

You say that as if it was a /bad/ thing. Which is, of course, nonsense!

This is among the most enjoyable, interesting and useful threads I've read
on RBWOB. Thanks to Leah and all those who she has motivated to
contribute. Following Joe's and Steve's responses to the idea that many of
us are obsessive/compulsive about our Riv bikes, I plead guilty. And I

In my other life I'm a news junkie and boy do I not need to read and write
about THAT more often. I'm GLAD I obsess on Riv stuff as much as I do!

Steve, I didn't say it was a bad thing (I'm here & OC), just saying that most

I don't know, man, you're assuming an awful lot of stuff as fact that are
clearly opinions. MY opinion is most Riv buyers are pretty full up on Riv
knowledge before they buy one. MY opinion is you either know a lot about these
bikes, or not enough to even know they exist.

Educated guess more than assumptions, obviously I have no hard data.
My local Rivendell dealer (a friend of mine) would tell me that any time
Radavist had a post on Rivendell, Surly or All City (All Brands he was a dealer
for) his phone would ring, because he was listed as a dealer on their webs
It would be surprising to me that someone would spend the money on a
Rivendell without being quite educated about bikes, but let's face it,
Rivendell is quite a "lifestyle brand" in a sense since Grant has a unique
perspective in the industry. So I guess it could happen. Rivendells are

Ditto.
I stumbled upon Rivendell 10? years ago when I was still nursing my 1973

Hi Leah,
I was moving bikes around and remembered you had asked about 60cm Cheviot
lengths and wheelbases?
I measure 48 inches dropout-to-dropout.
Using 700x38 rims/tires, those add ~27.5" to the total length, so ~75.5
inches total,
plus maybe a little for a rear fender if so equipped.

Thanks you so much for initiating this discussion. It has great value by
opening up the various requirements and constraints that riders have that

dragging my Atlantis up flights of stairs. Even though as a rule we'r

actually the larger size (35cm height).
Also, I realized that I could have done a much better job with the original

that show the blemishes. For the Mt C

IMHO, masmojo and Steve and Iconley and especially Bicycle Belle are all
correct, because the customer base is for Rivs is pretty diverse. People
find their way to Rivendell in different ways, and with different bases of
knowledge.
There’s a bicycle store owner at Floyd Rd. near Atlanta who ha

Leah, you basically confirmed what I was saying, not so much who the typical
Rivendell buyer is, but who they are not and that is a person who makes a habit
of reading Bicycle discussion groups. We are the overzealous, over analytical,
OCDs who agonize over tube lengths; we are the exceptions an
Well, the Atlantis could certainly handle that. I have an older 53 Toyo (I

it. ?

Crust's business plan basically requires that Matt sells through a batch
before they have the cashflow to buy a new run, hence the sporadic

is only 1-3 months away. I love the Bombora, I actually debated between
