Hello Patrick, You are good on the name. I posted a pic of my Rivendell Mountain a bit ago. Probably 2022 after doing Corporate Cycling Challenge in August. I think I posted both on RBW Owner Bunch and IBOB lists. Can probably see it with a search. The Thudbuster Uni-Pivot works well. Been w

I would definitely make an appointment because these dudes are busy and that way they can pencil in some time to give you attention. Otherwise you might show up when they are unloading a truck. I agree with Joe that it's great to find a couple things to order that you can pick up on your visit.

Thanks, Bill! Mine is a 54.5cm, 26-in. model from 2008. Normally, I'd be rolling on Naches Pass (26 x 1.8") with 50mm Berthoud fenders. Those measure 41mm on my Atlas rims. For this ride, I ditched the fenders and mounted the RH Humptulips Ridge 26 x 2.3" knobbies. They measure 52mm on my rims.
