which is nice if you like to cherry-pick parts. There are a lot of unique Rivendell build choices in this group. I have to say, the parts package for the built up appaloosas seems really sweet and you get to take advantage of some economies of scale... and you know Riv won't spec crap parts. I

Re: [RBW] Re: Another Appaloosa Rider

I really like the mustard frames ... but I have to say that the blue of the appaloosas is growing on me. What is it...almost like a robins egg blue? I like the grey blue of the hillbornes too. Anyway sounds like a swell addition to your stable ... Bikes are therapeutic to me and I do not m

One other thing to mention is If your garage door opener is an automatic one, make sure it's in good working orderespecially that it closes and locks http://www.popularmechanics.com/home/outdoor-projects/how-to/a6041/garage-door-opener-how-it-works/

+1 on Mark R.s practice..I'm a renter and I do lock up my non-Rivs together to a really old heavy refectory table (took the one drawer out) with a buncha tools and stuff, through a moving dolly with miscellaneous cable and U-locks...it's called spaghetti security. The rivendells I schlep upsta

If you're going for cantis I think you won't do much better than these...they work great http://www.rivbike.com/product-p/brc3.htm For centerpulls...those old Mafac Racers are excellent brakes and no braze-ons required; Paul centerpulls don't need braze-ons either as far as I know On Tuesda

I really like the build...now I'm not jonesing for racks and a basket yet for new custom but given that you are a teacher who commutes regularly and you have to schlep things back and forth, the build makes total sense...Addison, your bikes are always very tastefully appointed On Wednesday, Ap

I'll try my best. I do not have an Atlantis, but my fellow Winnipegger Mark R. does have one. My 1997 A/R was Waterford-built w Reynolds 753/531 (forks), and was meant to be a do all. It is a more refined version of the X0-1 which I also have. Both are 26" wheel sizes. I favour the moustache ba

Re: [RBW] Re: Annoying unwanted commentary/advice while riding a Rivendell.

Actually, in Winnipeg , I've never been dissed for what I was riding either. There are not so many Riv owners in Winnipeg...I would guess it's a very small population (20 or so?), so Rivs are unusual enough that they garner attention, it's usually complimentary and this is based on 23 years
