I really enjoy my Handsome Fredward singlespeed with Phil hubs. It's currently not a Rivendell but it is a nice enough frame and fork for a good price. Good luck

Thanks. I did take a brief spin on a She Devil and it was a great riding bike.

I have one and it’s a nice riding bike especially for around the city. Although I have to admit it doesn’t get as much love since I got a Riv. I’m willing to lock this bike in the city, which I haven’t been willing to do with my Riv.

[hobie]

What city do you lock a bike up in? :) 

[Roberta]

Philadelphia. It’s a high bike theft city.

I just got a third ULock so now I’m finally willing to do so. 2 Arbus granite locks and a Kryptonite NY one. The locks weigh about the same as than the bike!😊. I’m still not willing to do that with my Rivs yet. Perhaps in the suburbs.

I was a bike messenger in NYC late 70's early 80's. Bike theft was very high back then. I once had a beat up single speed that was stolen. Then a week later I saw it loosely locked up to a stand pipe at Macy's Hearld Square. Guess what happened next?

Awesome ending!  I’m sure NYC’s bike theft problem is worse than here.

I've been commuting on my Handsome Devil for about 6 years now. It's a great bike that's pretty much like a Canti Sam H. that's all tig welded. Really tough powder coating, can take a 700x38 tire with fenders, and favors a front load. I've looked at the She Devil as there are not many canti/V brake step-throughs out there that will take a 45mm tire.  I'm holding out for the Canti Cheviot (Joe A fork, maybe??)  that will hopefully be available from Riv this summer. I really hope they make it in orange.

I found that 700x38 is the sweet spot for tires on the road and flat trail. I had that size on my Saluki years back. That is one of the reasons I bought the She Devil for the 38 size tire. The tires I used.Schwalbe Marathon wire bead 700x38. Very fast,stable and cut resistant tires.

The Handsome Devil was my first bike that was built up from a frameset.  Here it is with 40mm Schwalbe Dureme tires on Velocity Dyad rims.
