I rode my 29th Davis Double Century last weekend on a very Riv-ish bike (the 1973 Motobecane that I bought from Patrick in ABQ, equipped with a 3-speed fixed gear hub, Brooks saddle and bags, etc.) and made a video of the adventure:
Hope you all enjoy it.

That Motobecane now performs feats it never performed under me. Eric:
did you make it up the entire Cobb Mountain without bailing? What, 40"
low? Damn!

In its current configuration, the Motobecane has a 44" low gear. That was enough to get up the steep parts ... with a few stops.
As Grant says in Just Ride, it's possible to make do with fewer gears by adjusting to have a wider cadence range. Having three speeds this year was a luxury compared to '08, when I rode a 1-speed fixed gear the entire way.
