Just sharing a few photos of this 23 year old Rivendell (gasp!).  How many miles, commutes, tours, has this thing seen?  Still looks fantastic.  Not sure if I'll stick with the moustache bar.  I've used it before but the barend swing seems like a recipe for a top tube ding if I'm not careful.  May need to put the Noodles on.

I'm loving the beefy tires....

Cheers...

Nice! What size tires are those? I was measuring my circa 2000 AR and I think the fattest tire I could fit in the fork would be about 1.7” wide. Pretty narrow based on what I ride now. I was hoping for around 2” tires. Maybe a 650B conversion at some point down the road?

Thanks....They are 2.2 inches but I've had at least 2.3s on my AR before.  Might fit a 2.4....

Beautiful bike! Same color as my '99. You've convinced me that I need to install the front rack and get a big basket for it.
