Hi everyone, I recently finished building a Joe Appaloosa that I bought a
while back, but I didn't have time to complete it until now. This forum
helped me pick out the rims, in fact!
I totally love the bike, but I'm having a problem I was hoping someone
could help me with. I built the bike wit
Thanks, Joe, I'll send a couple of pictures tomorrow.

Bill,
I think it's about as parallel to the chainrings as I can get it. I think
if I twist it one way or another, it will rub on the opposite end. Thanks
for the advice, though!

Joe - That could be it, although this is the same crank/FD combination that
was sold on the original completes, except they used a 9-speed chain and
cassette. But my other bike has a Deore XT 9-speed FD, and it seems to do
the same thing.
I talked to Vince at Rivendell yesterday, and he said t

Thanks, Garth. If I can't fix it through positioning, maybe I'll try the
Claris 2x8 FD. The specs for the complete bike just say Claris FD, not
whether it's 2x8 or 3x8. I just assumed it would be the 3x8 with a triple
crank.

Garth - I just looked at some pictures of the original complete Appaloosas,
and it looks by the length of the front FD cage that they used the 2x8
version. I'll give Riv a call to confirm and maybe try that. Thanks!

Thanks to everyone for their advice. I eventually decided to order an NOS
Suntour Cyclone Mark II front derailleur from the '80s with a flat outer
cage. It works like a champ, is much better looking than a modern
derailleur (to me), and was only $10 more than a new Claris.
I think I could have
Looking for a Choco norm and 11 cm Tallux stem. Blue Lug seems to be the
only place that has them right now. Before I order from them, I thought I'd
check to see if anyone has one to sell.
Thanks!

I bought a pair of the KAVU Big Eddy river shorts based off this thread. I
like them a lot. I like the MUSAs a little better - they have heavier-duty
fabric and the hems are double stitched - but these are a close second.
Thanks for the advice!

Hi, everyone, I'm building a Joe Appaloosa and I'm thinking about buying
some Cliffhanger rims for it, but I've heard that some people have had
problems with wide rims and cantis. I've seen several Joes on-line with
Cliffhangers and V-brakes, though. Does anyone have any experience with
