I'm also interested if anyone knows about Homer updates, especially if there will be a 64 this run, and if it will have the rainbow double top tube On Tuesday, 4 February 2025 at 21:28:26 UTC+1 taylork...@gmail.com wrote: > Does anyone know if the specs/geometry of the 2025 Homers are identical

Just butting in here to say that I just had a back and forth with the lads at Riv regarding sizing. I'm 195 cm with a 96 pbh and really struggled with bikes for my whole riding life. I tried to ride on a 60 Hillborne now for a while, but this did not work out at all, so I got in touch with Riv f

I tried the medium big bag rack on my 60 cm Sam Hillborne. It cleared the wheels, but not by a lot. I tried mounting them with fenders on and that was a no go. I suspect it might be fine depending on the frame geo and size, but if you have a 60cm Sam, I would avoid it. On Tuesday 15 October 202

I live in Oslo, Norway and riding with fenders is an absolute must, if you use your bike with any sort of regularity, such as commuting. I commute all year round, which means a whole lot of rain, sludge, snow and ice - so yeah, no getting around fenders. I also happen to like the way a bike loo
