There is also a Riv blog post about the Hilsen tubeset here:

"The Homer is made with these tubes, if made in Wisconsin:
Seat tube: True Temper Verus heat-treated CrMo. HT CrMo generally ends up
with a tensile strengt

"The chainstays are OX PLAT, with the odd wall thickness of 0.76mm. Normal
would be 0.7 to 0.9, with 0.8 being really common, but these are 0.76. Odd,
but fine. They’re good chainstays.
The seat stays are Reynolds double-tapered HT CrMo (725). TruTemp doesn’t
make double-tapered
Ryan,
You could always turn the Mark N. Custom into a singlespeed. Use a
White Industries ENO hub if it has vertical dropouts. If it is a
country bike, than it is prolly pretty close to a quickbeam. That
said, I hope you find a megahuge quickbeam!

While chatting w/ Riv folks awaiting my Bomba's arrival, they told me a lot
about how its built. The diagonal mid-tube is the same as the top tube;
and the seat tube is also the same tubing, which gets sized (why it has a
26.8 instead of a 27.2 seatpost); those and the downtube are all

I meant to send this to the list. Saluki is not identical, iirc, but is
similar. Maybe someone from RBW can chime in on that.

Not all Bombas take a 26.8. Mine (an early Diagaversion) uses 27.2, which
thankfully allowed the use of the Nitto lugged set-back post. Could very
well be that all current and future Bombas will be like yours Leslie. I
even seem to recall that the 26.8 post was the original plan. (I even had a

Good thing there was a Kogswell and Surly (both fine bikes) with you to
dilute the pretension.

Not a one-off, it was, and will be again. For the moment, on the current
Bomba (and the Hunq too, I think), the reason some are using the 26.8 is
because they're using the stouter top-tube for the seat tube, until they
get another tube for use for the seat tube that will allow the 27.2
seatpos
I like to think of them as a riv-esque rally.

I'm sorry you feel that way. There are some very nice folks here, and

I think it's great having Riv Rally East. Unfortunately, I already have

easier if this event were a little later, like the first weekend in May, or

I don't pop the fenders off and on. I'm not that likely to fiddle with my bike, they just have become part of the bike. I think if I took them off, I would have to spend a little time re-jiggering the stays to clear the tire. Sometimes I have to take the front wheel off (when I take 2 bikes in
