Brady,
You need the tensioner bolt that is on the front of the saddle? I have one
here in my box of interesting things. , the bolt with the nut on it. I am
not sure how you change it but you are welcome to it. I am up the river in
Columbia County. Send me a USPS address and I can stick it in the

day, Sam H fits in the fit with the wheels on.
I have a Ridgeline and the Sam will fit in the back seat or the bed. Been
looking for a decent element but good ones are pricy now a days.

Hey Justin,
If you are friction shifting it, Pretty much any decent derailleur should
shift it. I might try a Shimano CX 70 that is designed for a double chain
ring.
If there is a shop around that has crates of vintage parts, you might be
able to find something nice that will work.

One really nice feature that I admire on Rivendell frames is that the

bolt is influencing the seat post.
