BTW - this build shows off how very versatile Riv frames are. Compare v. 1.0 with the current build - very different, both great rides.

I managed to find both bags in the very early run black canvas (because, you know... it's a BLACK bike). Guessing? It's pretty heavy - maybe 33 to 35 pounds? Rides like a champ, though - it doesn't feel heavy or sluggish at all.

That looks like a Swiss Army bike for sure. I like the black. You could travel the world on that....neat components If you don't mind me asking....how much does it weigh? For touring probably not much of an issue. It looks rugged.

It never came together satisfyingly, so I gave up and ordered a Rohloff chain tensioner. I built it up over the weekend - here it is: http://www.flickr.com/photos/37542512@N04/8567470700/in/photostream. And here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/37542512@N04/8567485276/in/photostream/ Those are the new Fatty Rumpkins, which ride really well - the toughness is not at much cost, in terms of ride quality. I'm really pleased with the build. In a 10 mile test ride yesterday, everything worked together seamlessly - except I haven't been able to shift into the lowest gear, meaning I have that unique 13 speed Rohloff. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ **************************************************** To ensure compliance with Treasury Department regulations, we advise you that, unless otherwise expressly indicated, any federal tax advice contained in this message was not intended or written to be used, and cannot be used, for the purpose of (i) avoiding tax-related penalties under the Internal Revenue Code or applicable state or local tax law provisions or (ii) promoting, marketing or recommending to another party any tax-related matters addressed herein. **************************************************** **************************************************** This email (and any attachments thereto) is intended only for use by the addressee(s) named herein and may contain legally privileged and/or confidential information.
