Thank you Jim. Color pattern kind of reminds me of the Trek 959 (a
good thing imo).
You know, I have a lot of antique racing parts that have been waiting
for just the right frame. Maybe Riv would do one with DT braze ons.

The touring pedals are fine for free pedaling too. I have Sneaker,
Touring, and Grip Kings. I like them all, and in that order. The width
and grip of the Sneakers make them number one. If the GKs were
grippier I would put them number two, but they can be slippery

They looked fine when Alex Singer and Rene Herse did them 50 years
ago. And
We used the Adventure Cycling map and stuck with their suggested route
for about 80% of it. It was self-supported (3 of us, 2 with panniers,
1 trailer). We went over Middlebury Gap, Rochester Gap, and Jay Peak.
While not too long, the grade on some of the sections is impressive.

Right, but you were comparing it to the Nitto, which is heavier
because it has the vertical portion that inserts into the head tube.
The Ritchey and VO do not, but you then have to factor in the weight
of the fork tube and spacers, etc. My uneducated guess is that it's a
wash.

I'm guessing that the "3." pound weight is frame only. Silly-
light carbon is now under 2 lb for the frame. Light carbon forks
weigh ~350 gm, about 3.4 lb, vs ~1.5 lb for steel. That adds up to
2-3/4 lb lighter.
IIRC, my 56 cm. Riv Road Std. frame and fork weigh around 6-1/2

The protruding "teeth" on the Sneaker Pedals do wear out over time. They
