Re: [RBW] Re: Kickstand plates, what's up with that?

The Bombadil, despite being such a burly bike itself, has a most dainty kickstand plate - so much so that I've removed the kickstand from that bike just to avoid bending it and potentially damaging the chainstays in the process. Grant recognized the shortcoming and thickened the plate in subseq

Eric, you continue to inspire me to tinker with my bikes. Your creativity is so fun to watch, both in your builds and video production. You're a real great contributor to the community, please keep up the solid efforts! On Sunday, November 13, 2022 at 12:16:58 PM UTC-6 eric...@gmail.com wrote

Re: [RBW] Using Your Rivendell Vs. Being Precious: A Spectrum

I do like that sentiment. In the spirit of avoiding being too precious to use the bike as much as it should be, I sold the Charlie Gallop because I finally accepted that it was basically my other Riv(s) but I was just more willing to lock it up (within reason). It wasn't a good enough reason for th

Re: [RBW] If you convince Rivendell to bring back "one" former model

Another vote for the Bombadil. Just to add content around a one off production from Riv, I spoke to the good folks at Rivendell a bit this year and they are not doing any customs or special orders currently, I wanted a 56cm Bombadil, they said maybe next year (like fall 2023) if at all. P

For me, I have a Quickbeam and a Hunqapillar, the riding I do varies from fast road riding to rough gravel riding to dirt mtb single track trails. I think these two bikes are on opposite ends of the spectrum with wide ranges so I can do most everything I enjoy on a bike! On Thursday, December
