It's a 1991. I made a poor attempt at Riv-izing it, but the geometry isn't going to cooperate. Converting to a fixed is interesting, though I think I will keep it together and replace the original drops/brake levers/ and Avocet saddle which I have. It was more comfortable in original form, though the Roly-Polys are staying on. The modern hub spacing on the Rivs is there for a reason, I might as well let them build one for me.
