This may be the top Sheldon-tribute signature of all time. Out of the
ballpark, Beth. I dunno whether "congratulations" or "good luck" is in
order, but take your pick.

What, no front low rider mounts? That's remarkably strange. As for the

Hi Suraj,
Here's a link to my Riv Custom Spec sheet:

It came out as a 63.5cm bike with 60cm top tube (measured horizontally, but
actual length is longer due to slight upslope). I also had a A Homer Hilsen in

Do you want it to feel like a standard racing bike? I used to race on
a much smaller bike than the Rivs I own, and I'm glad I've gone

I'm 185cm tall but my PBH is only 88cm, so I h

Johan: the Atlantis has never had mid-fork lowrider mounts. Of course, Riv has
always promoted and sold Nitto racks of the non-lowrider variety.
I can envision a number of possibilities for the fork crown mounts. A porteur
rack is a possibility, but it may also provide a solid mounting point for
