Now, this is probably the last bike I’d buy from Rivendell. The Bombadil is kind of a quirky city bike and the guy riding it did have a cute girlfriend who rode a Bridgestone track bike. Easily the cutest couple I saw on my Saturday ride.
I’m in the throws of packing and prepping for Interbike, so if you wanna see more photos, head over to my Flickr!
Hot damn! Marty and the crew at Geekhouse are just killing it with the Woodville bikes. Like Rivendell for the new generation, the Boston-based builders will not stop! Just wait till you see what’s in store for this year’s NAHBS. Hint hint. Check out more photos right here at the Geekhouse Flickr!
I’ll never put cork on this bike. It’s either bike ribbon or cloth tape for me and I usually lean to the latter more for comfort and daily use. Typically Tressostar, Velox or Cat Eye are your choices. All are perfectly fine bar tapes but once and a while, the new kid on the block deserves some credit. In comes Newbaum’s Cotton Cloth Bar Tape.

Just bought a grail of a bike from a friend on Friday. Full Shimano 600 with original barcon shifters.
Bridgestone’s RB-1 is a highly sought after bike. Grant Petersen of Rivendell cycles designed bikes for Bridgestone in the 80’s. The RB-1s and XO’s are some of the nicest frames to come out of the Bridgestone name before Bridgestone Japan canceled the domestic branch.
I think I may put some mustache bars on it and keep the 28c tires.
Edit: I threw an extra Cinelli 1a stem on it with some Cinelli Priest bars… just need some bar tape now!
