Wow, I really love that blue 58cm Rosco Road model. Everything about that bike just seems ideal to me. It looks like it would be great fun to ride around. Since it has a Quickbeam fork, I would build it up as a single speed. Just for fun. On Wednesday, October 26, 2016 at 6:56:30 PM UTC-4,

I remember a Blug post or email stating that they were given a larger credit line to work with this year. These may just be projects that he's been itching to do for a long time but didn't have the funds. We can only hope. John On Friday, October 28, 2016 at 2:24:45 PM UTC-7, Christopher Mur

All these new Riv projects make me wonder if Grant is pondering/ thinking about retirement. It seems like a LOT of these projects have their roots back 15+ years ago in Riv history. It looks a bit like he is doing all the projects he always wanted to do. Just the Riv tandem alone has been talked

Description of both being "roadish" does seem slightly suspect. It's interesting that they intentionally cropped off the handlebars in the photos of #5. A quick comparison tells me it might be similar to a 58cm production Joe, which would fit roughly the same size. Top tube is slightly shor

Where are you seeing the geometry specifications, Jay? I must be missing something. And I've been wondering too. The green #5 is the first Rosco that's fit me, and I happen to think it is proportionally gorgeous with the extra tube. But being "roadish geometry" and limited to 40mm tires, I'm
