Haha no way, fancy finding you here Kieran! That was an awesomely gruesome
day. Glad I got to meet you all. Gram, Jaytee, and I are definitely
returning next year. Hopefully I'll catch you out there again! I am hoping
to instigate some more lively camping the night after the ride ( •̀ᴗ•́ )و ̑̑

A hard question. 50 years ago, I left for college and rode a Gitane Tour de
France (Reynolds 531 frame, silk sew-up tires, mostly Campagnolo
components) to class. I locked it up in the bushes (bike racks were not a
thing at that point in time) and carried my books in my Boy Scout Yucca
backpack
It's a beauty! And in good hands.

I could use a recommendation for a good wheel builder. I've used
prowheelbuilder.com in the past and have no complaints. Not sure how I
landed on them. Just curious if there is another business that I should be
looking into? I'm located in Indianapolis as well, and would prefer sending
business
Anyone have one they'd consider selling?
Thanks!

I don't know any midwest wheelbuilders to suggest but I can comment on the

Deore hubs with the Cliffhangers. He likes the hubs a bunch and they have
been great for me. Very quiet. No need to spend a ton to get a really well

Thanks Victor.
Johnny,
I've had loads of Deore hubs and currently have them on my Atlantis wheel
set. They are a good option just not on the same level as Onyx or White Ind.

Also, oddly enough Silver hubs are gone from the Riv site. Anyone know the
story there?

I don't remember what happened to them or why they were discontinued. I
know that not too too long ago RIch had some stock that he would use on
some of his build to order stuff if you wanted but it would have to be done
through him AND I have no idea if they still exist. No 40 but they did come

That looks like mine on the right - a P-15 in Kool Lemon, but with the

It was basically the only thing I owned, other than a couple pairs of pants

I'll chime in with yet another recommendation (would be my choice if I were
going to be shipping a kid of to a campus in the near future): a Surly
1x1. They're single speed frames, rather on the heavy side made from 4130
chro-moly tubing, powder coated for durability, and can be set up with a

I have to retract my previous message a bit. A Web investigation reveals
that the Surly 1x1 frame is no longer available from the manufacturer.
Rats!! This would've been the perfect bike. Evidently the single-speed
era has surpassed us now.

We all love our Rivendell's very very much and think highly of them. But
just a point of perspective I would like to point out - not many people
take a sloping top tube bike seriously. I've been friends with houseless
folks in neighborhoods I've worked in the past. Bike and parts theft is
often
The 1x1 isn’t made any more, and they hold their value really well as they
seem to be coming somewhat collectible. The replacement is the Lowside, I
think it’s about $890 for the frame set. Not really a value play anymore.

I'm looking for a 12cm, maybe 13cm even. My 11cm is in very good condition.

1980s. With aluminum lugged construction if I'm recalling correctly.
Apparently they rode wonderfully and are nothing like the big-box aluminum
