The Rivendell tax is getting ridiculous on the used market. Sales are slow,
the economy is headed into the dumpster, there's no excuse for these silly
prices.

I went from 172 to 165 to reduce toe overlap When I mounted fenders on my road

That required me to raise my seat as well as move it further back, which of

Did you buy it from Rivendell Bicycle Works, or did you buy it second
hand?
Do you think it was manufactured in 2015? or do you think it's a lot older
than that?
If it's a lot older than 2015, then it's probably built by Toyo
The best clues are probably the rear dropouts and the serial number.
Thanks. It’s older than 2016. I have always thought it was Toyo. I will confirm
tonight. Again thank you so much.

The segue to crank length and pros and cons is an interesting tangent. I
have no dog in the debate about the aero question, but I do recall
switching from 170s to 175s when I tried riding fixed offroad with a 60”
gear. Uphills were fine; the problem was downhills and flats without strong
headwinds:
Hi All,
Looking to buy a 650B wheel set with 135 rear spacing and hubs that can
accept a Shimano free hub. Pretty specific but common specs, I think, so
hoping someone has something!
Thanks!

For sure, yes. I should have emphasized that more when I wrote "Probably
this was just the Riv build before the owner dialed it in.." The picture
was just a perfect illustration of my point about how an undersized frame
starts looking. Thanks, Eric!

Well, now I can officially join instead of lurking.
This 60 Platypus frame came available from Ben @ HappyGo bike shop in DC.
It was a parts bin build, with a few new bits. Fenders yet to arrive.

Johnny,I do feel conflicted about the RR shifting. Not sure it will be a great benefit to me, either. Seems less ergonomic because I’m used to having the lever pushed forward and it’s better for the thumb. We’ll see.I dragged the bike into my mud room so I could stare at it and see how I should go
The Friday ride sounds so fun! I'm going to take off work and will plan to
