Drew,
They did make smaller ones specifically for the hub area rack, and used a
swanky attachment system consisting of a little pocket for the lower
portion of the rack and an irish strap for a rather robust attachment.
Funny thing is they are about the same weight and volume of some modern

thanks joe. i've used some ortlieb gravel packs a few times and they work
fine, although they take a little maneuvering to get on there.

I mean Grant has a point about how the numbers don't tell the whole story,
I'm 5'-7" 79-ish PBH and the custom he designed for me is 54.3 x 63. Which
sounds crazy but the angles and how high and far back the bars reach make
it work perfectly. But I'd still like to see the numbers on a production

Yeah I'm pretty baffled that it's taking months to make a couple geometry

now. I get that it's unusual and they're worried people will misunderstand

Richard - I have a feeling that even if I were to try the more traditional
triangle frames, I'll come right back to my Clem. It's just hard not to

short arms).
Also to say that my first Riv purchase was a 48cm first-gen

My first thought is you'll quickly be tempted down the stretchy clothes

but it is a different mentality.

I guess the real interesting thing is comprehending how a frame becomes a

Good for you, Leah.
I have probably ridden more in the last two months than I rode all of last
