Joe,
I agree about the paint but I don't recall ever seeing any Riv with plain
lugs. There are/were early ones around that don't have the first RBW crown,
as the initial testing revealed a flaw and some frames went out with HJ
crowns. Even the early Rivs had the Sachs designed lugs to the best o

My 2 cents FWIW
First off sounds like an awesome build if $$ were no object I would
have a AHH in my quiver.
I am using an 11-32 8 speed cassette with my Sugino XD 600 46-36-26
and love it -nice to have the 11 on the down hills
I use a 45cm Nitto Rando bar and really like it, especially because
I hang a Carradice Barley (cadet?) off the bars - works great for
eggs, cameras, etc, where I wouldn't like to put them in a hard-
mounted basket or bag.

It depends on total capacity. If he's running a 46-30 in front and a
12-36 in back, that's 40 teeth of total capacity. Shimano rear

same max cog. The longer cage just gives you more capacity. Sheldon

one, for long distance, slow tourist riding and (2) more particularly

Pedals: Shimano ("accept no substitutes") SPDs.
Saddle: Turbo (it's a tiny bit wider than a Flite) for bars within 1" of

Of course, bars, pedals and saddles are more personal items than, say, stems
