For the last year, I’ve found myself with a Sam Hillborne that felt a bit redundant given my other two bikes in the stable: a ‘94 RB-T and an ‘87 Miyata 1000LT.
I love my Samwise, but it’s the most middle of the road of all of Riv’s offerings, and I’ve been itching to try out one of their bikes with the crazy chain stays. https://www.flickr.com/photos/182771520@N04/shares/89d92GS755 I picked up this 51cm Joe App from a guy who was stepping into a Saluki and didn’t need something as stout. Serendipity? Yes. And a willingness to wait a long time. Here’s the build at the moment: -Billie Bars w Party Pace foam grips -Shimano levers and thumbies -12cm Nitto stem -Nitto Front Rack w Wald 37 basket and SON lamp -650b Velocity wheels with Dynamo front hub and Panaracers (soon to be upgraded to RH Switchback Pass) -VO Rando 165 Double Cranks -MKS Lambda Pedals -Pederson designed Suntour SE XC Cantilever Brakes -Ultegra Front Derailleur -Shimano XTR Rapid Rise Rear derailleur -Pletscher double kickstand -Nifty Newbaum’s harlequin wrap and sweet custom #Bofur Beadwork by Matt @HoboHubWorks -Brooks B67 saddle in Honey First big ride tomorrow, but rode it down to the gym today and it rides like a Riv. Can’t wait to get some bigger tires though! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
