With 5 of the same type bike coming at the same time you will get to indulge just about every 'option' with setup you care to deal with! :) Should be alot of fun. Maybe you can match build's to personalities... or you can demo different handlebars on each build, or you could equip each to be somehow complementary towards family bikepacking. I have to admit that when I muse through bike builds I usually am thinking of them one or two at a time. 5 at once, even if 2 are going to be considered later is a whole nother ballgame! Congrats. Riv should throw in a little something extra for a 'Holiday 5 Pack' order!
I think I remember reading somewhere that fielding a truly more affordable Riv was one of Grant's goals for himself and the company. I always figured that the Sam/San Marcos was the best they were going to do. I think its great that they have gone even further and put out a bike like the Clem. Especially with all the positive feedback here it seems like it's going to be a success. I love the BLUG description for this bike... completely focused at the audience here on the list, current and future Riv owners that know the philosophy or already love the bikes. 60mm tire clearance in all sizes is a great thing to design around. How does everyone take the last bit about the decals, looks to me like you have the option to get the frame w/ headbadge only, no decal or you can have the Clem/Clementine decal plus a customized name/whatever decal? Am I reading that right? All that said I'm going to be on the sidelines for this one... a Clem would be a great starting place for my wife but that she's already got a gorgeous motobecane mixte and bstone mtb. I can't wait to see these things get delivered and built up though! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
