I would really underscore Keven's comments via Jim Thill. And I've seen Keven ride his on trails in the hills behind Riv (non-East bay types can read that as foothills). I saw him climb and descend. It's all true.
I never thought Riv could make a little enough Appaloosa for me, but they had one I could stand over and off I went. As most of you know, it was a total epiphany and is going to be the Riv Chica Warrior Warhorse. Then I was talked to one of the exhibit maintenance guys here at the museum who rides like crazy all year around. As in bought a REFRIDGERATOR and hauled it home on his bike trailer. Anyway, he's been following the custom-caper with rapt attention and got very excited when he saw the long chainstays. The first words out of his mouth were "comfort." Some other bike-pal-bike-mechanics also got excited at seeing the pictures: "that bike'll do anything you want it to do, go anywhere you need it to go." -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
