Hi, I'm new here, all my Rivendell ownership is currently confined to their
components all over my Riv-esque bikes, Soma Saga, New Albion Privateer,
Schwinn High Sierra (that one is destined to be replaced with a proper Riv)
Omnium Cargo. It would be nice to have the main course and not just be
I sold all but one of my Brooks and Selle Anatomica's (I have a B67 if
anyone's looking) and have replaced them all with Ergon SF and one
Rivendell Clem saddle. I always wear regular clothes when riding and the
Ergon SF is less uncomfortable than all the leather saddles were for me.
The Riv is

etc. The Platypus is relatively sensible in comparison. But this is about
bicycles, and bicycles are “inherently” sensible so, surely, anything goes
right?

I wish I could test ride some of these bikes! I am certainly taken by the
aesthetics of the larger Clems, but my eyes may not be sensible guides for
actual ride fit. Graham and fiddleharpa (sorry, I can only see your email
handle here), your pbh's are greater than mine, which is at 85.5, and I s
I use a steerstopper on my Soma Saga that's fitted with a Crust Clydesdale
fork. That fork can be loaded up quite heavily, which is what I do with the
giant basket I have on it. Even with the frame up on a double leg stand the
fork will still swing if the ground is not level. So I lock the steer
I have a set of the VO Granola Bars and a set of the chromo Bosco's at 52
width. Both in silver.
Was thinking about keeping the Bosco's for a Riv that I'm in glacial-paced
negotiations about but i think I might prefer something with a lot less
rise. Message me if you'd like and we can talk pri
Did you sell this?

@chris, I should use faceplaters, and might as I settle into a stem length
I like. But I also just love the way a nitto technomic looks with the bolt
tucked underneath. I got talked out of a 64 Clem, the issue being the
seattube being possibly too long for me. I did notice that the reach is the

My new thoughts on my particular iteration of the OP are that it might be
the stem flexing in the steerer tube. While I did use a shim with my
Bosco/Technomic 26mm x 100 stem, I don't recall any clicking. The noise was
quite pronounced when I switched to a Tosco/Tallux 25.4 x 110. I could see

I have been having what seems like the same issue on my Rosco Bubbe

100 x 26mm clamp Tallux with a 110 x 25.4. Mad clicking. Drive me mad
