When I saw this news on the Riv website I was quite pleased. One of my Rivs is a road standard and I find myself riding it more and more often these days. My only complaint (if i could even call it that) is that the clearance is limited - 28mm Paselas with no room for fenders (I don't really need a bigger tire on this bike but fenders without heavy mods would be convenient), I could fit a 30mm tire depending on the brand I suppose, or a 25 with fenders, but it is a wonderful bike just how it is. This bike is from 1996, and IMHO is an improvement over the RB-1s that were designed before it. I am very interested to see what knowledge and design ideas 12 more years(1995/6 to 2009), and a progression of other bike models has to offer in terms of a quality "club ride" bike . I am with the "Legolas for the road" crowd in what I expect to see. Lighter tubing, Standard reach brakes, slightly steeper geometry, not an expanded frame (they have their value, I just prefer "standard" geo), two color paint (I hope), Threadless option is a good move too.
