I still see the Platrack on the Riv site, so it looks like they might have
'em for now. Also noticed that Ben's in Milwaukee carries them too. Same
for the long struts. And thanks Brian, for the inspiration!
And for all you other rack-hackers out there, there's a group for that on

I'm not sure if my first attempt to answer you went through or not, if so
sorry...
I've got the bars, stem and the hub.
I'm at work now but if you're still looking we can follow up this afternoon.
Thanks,

Manny, I was thinking the same thing. It's really nice to see.
I'm bummed about not making the book signing here in Portland this
weekend. I'm actually getting ready to order the book through RBW this
morning.
Yeah, I noticed that too. It seems like they weren't on for a while.
But they are listed as "discontinued". Also, the Platrack SlickerSack
is no longer on the site. All this makes me think that the new rack
Grant hinted at a few blug post ago will be similar.

It is my size and is fodder for the imagination but not quite sure I can

That's beautiful. Silver is definitely a strong contender... With the red
labels.
Thanks!

I always love the color of your AHH when I see a picture of it... Great job
on the Platrack setup!

Scott,
Thanks for posting about the marathon racers on sale, it took some digging
on their site to find them but i did. i was thinking about supremes, but
i'll give the racers a go at this price, if i don't like em on the sam i
can find another bike for them!
ps. great looking sam yourself
I just replaced a cheap Sachs chain on one of my Riv fixies with an
ever cheaper KMC chain that cost me, what, $4.95 at a LBS? It's a 3/32
chain. The ring and cogs are very little worn. The new chain makes a
considerable racket.
I've done heard that KMC chains are noisy: is this so?
Does mo' nois
I use KMC chains more often than not. The fancier ones labeled for 8 and 9
speed are quiet and long lasting. I have tried those cheapies and they are
noisy and don't last as long.

Thanks, Ryan -- I used this chain because it was in one of my boxes.
I'll let it wear out and keep in mind the better KMCs.
I don't mind if the cheapie wears quickly; just don't want it to do

Robert, congrats on the new bike. Looking forward to seeing it built
up. I'm curious, did you try the new Bosco Bar? I've really grown to
like the looks of the Albatross bar on the Hunqa. There's a little
Youtube clip of a 62 Hunqa with Albatross bars and the whole set-up
looks great and very capab
Wait, so are drum brakes over-Pashley-ized now, too? I am so conflicted.

One more vote of encouragement on the Brompton (not as pretty as my
Bleriot, but I use it a lot more), and one more vote of envy on the

Hahaha. Congratulations Bob!
For everyone else, I'm laughing because one of the topics on the ride back
from points hinter, was that Bob was going to stop at Riv to look at a new
Hunq, but *hopefully* not buy one because, hey, obviously one needs a new
hole in their wallet like new hole in thei
Five weeks later,I stumbled upon the answer my question! I was reading
the packaging the HPX 4 came in and notice that the HP setting is for
pumping and the mysterious "X" setting is for mounting. When placed in
X-mode, this pump fits PERFECTLY [underneath the topmost tube & on
pump peg] on my 2011
A friend at work might be interested. He visited Riv a few weeks back and the
62 Hunq is his size. Can you send a few pics?
Thanks

Hahaha is right.
I swear I was okay till I rode the Hunq. Sure it's lovely, but I can resist
all sorts of lovely things. I was even okay after riding the Sam. Don't get
me wrong, the Sam is a great bike. I'd love to own one. I just didn't want
to pay for one.
