Rayban Wayfarer. I started wearing them in cyclocross races. I like them
over cycling specific glasses because they don't fog up when it's cold, and
they are comfortable for me.

Hi everyone,
The bike in the Cyclofiend gallery is beautiful. I've admired it on Flickr
for several weeks.
As a side note, my name is Paul I'm new to the group. In the quest for
bigger and fatter tires, I've got a 64cm Bombadil on order that I plan on
riding extensively off road, including a 40 m
This is a 64cm frame in John Deere green. It just showed up today.
I'll post more pics as it's built. I'm moving most of the parts from my
Crosscheck onto the frame. It's going to see some mud pretty soon.

I'll keep updating the build on Flickr. Tonight I'll put the wheels, bars
and saddle on. I'll have it together by Saturday.
Still on the fence on what bars to add. I've got Albatross, Moustache and

I'm looking at my Nitto Noodles and these Sun Race shifters from Rivendell.
Anyone running these (or Paul thumbies) on the tops of a drop bar? Do you
like them?
I see that they need a longer bolt to fit around the road bar width.
Thanks,
Paul

That bike has an ironic destiny in store for it. It will likely be purchased
by another collector, who will have paid a pretty penny for one of the last
pristine versions. If they ride it, they'll ride it carefully...never fully
testing it or enjoying it as frame designer originally intended.

I was riding along on the Bombadil today and someone said "hang on, there."
It ended up being a list member on a Kogswell (also owns an Atlantis), whose

scooted off to Hiawatha Cyclery.

Rivendell is a fascinating company to me, on many levels. The "groans" (to
me) are actually what I love most about them. I bought their wool penant and

I'm not sure if their relationship with their bicycle is much different than
mine if they ride it.

I love my Bombadil. I'm 6'2", 200 lbs. It doesn't feel heavy to me, and I
have super heavy duty Sun CR-18 rims with Schwalbe 700x47 tires. The bike is
stout, but feels nice and responsive.
I can get the bars nice and high on mine. I was between sizes, and went with
the bigger 64. No regrets. It's
Thanks for sharing this. Truly one of a kind, and I bet you'll have a blast

Hi,
I'm bringing my Bombadil up to Duluth for the weekend, hoping to find some
hills and interesting off-the-beaten path rides (I think I have that part
covered).
Does anyone have any recommendations of bike shops in Duluth to buy a local
trail map? I try to frequent locally owned places that are

Would you take $750 cash and local pickup? No fuss, no muss?
