This is an edited version of an email I recently sent Grant, I wanted to post here cuz I think the magical Riv ride he designs into these frames is slightly under discussed..like we all know it and love it, then talk about other stuff like paint and parts. My comments are specifically about my custom but I've owned a bunch of Rivs and they all ride like this (Clem maybe not so light-feeling, but still zippy). Add your thoughts about your bikes! :
The handling is amazing. It feels light and zippy, yet absorbs shock (there's a lot of shock on these roads) and is very stable. When you put it in a turn it goes where you point it and holds the line until you change it. It does this when getting bumped offline, too..the darn thing pops right back to where it was going! I've ridden a bazillion bikes and nothing rides like a Rivendell 🙌 Joe Bernard -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
