Hey
there Jim,
Here
are a few incarnations of my Joe/Joe Rivendell.
First
set up is how I ran it when I wanted to ride a lot at night (just
for fun, not commuting). I snapped the picture as I was packing
away the lighting equip, so it shows a Phil front wheel rather than
the Nexus dynamo. Second and Third are my favorite set up: Fast
trail riding! This was what I designed and built it up to do and
it does not disapoint! I've had fantastic rides on this bike. But
then I moved away from trails and had a couple of kids, so the fourth
set up is how it currently looks. All kids all the time. Actually
since then I've added a Burly Piccolo and Moose rack, so it isn't
100% as shown in the fourth picture. I sent these over to demonstrate
the versatility of these bikes. Can really do anything with them.
At least that's what I tell myself to justify the cost :-) Just
bought a Bleriot to be the new kid hauler, and am now going to put
drops on the Rivendell and set it up as my regular road bike. Will
send in a new pic to show that set up when I get the Bleriot all
done.
Thanks!
