So this is a large Fabio's Chest saddle bag or handlebar bag . I bought it, and never mounted it on a bike. It's been in my basement on a shelf. I don't believe he called it "Fabio's Chest" when I bought it. If it was called that, it doesn't say it on the bag, (which I think might be better th

May be that Riv doesn't sell the Specialized Purist bottles anymore because they are not what they originally were. I have an original, smoke colored one with the squiggly mountain landscape lines that was perfect. No plastic taste and the cap really was MO-FLOW ! I bought 3 last year and the fi

Re: [RBW] riv water bottles

Keith, At the risk of further thread drift, I have to say that I have one of those Nalgene bottles, and they are not very good. The dirt cap doesn't really seal, and dry dust can find its way in. Also, the nozzle isn't as nice as the ubiquitous Specialized made ones. I bought some more dust-cap

I think it mght be because they’re trying to reduce the amount of plastic they use? Really, just speculation, but i thought there was some communication about trying to reduce waste. I still have a number of their water bottles and use them frequently. Sky in new west > On Mar 11, 2021, at 8:0
