Hi Ash. Thanks for the mini review. How does it compare to other Rivs? Have
you had a chance to ride a Clem? Clemsters are quite upright friendly!
I spoke with a Riv spokesperson and I thought he said presale in September.
But now it's starting to sound like possibly sooner, and maybe the actua
Despite having a bin full of these, I am seriously considering one of the
new ones for my upcoming Hillibike.
Rich, if you enjoy working on bikes, I would say definitely worth the time
and investment, especially if you have never worked on a classic cup and
cone bb. The couple of folks over on

Ash, how "upright" is the build on that Boots? I'm pretty much out of the game
for regular bikes now - I'm currently riding a Crank Forward semi-recumbent -
because of arthritis in my right hand, but am hopeful I can find a workaround
eventually. It might be worth a trip to RBW to take a spin on
"It was earlier stated that the selected builder can complete 1.5 fillet
frames a day."
Here's one hour of the reason why. From Brian at Chapman Cycles

I’m with what others have said—your friend is better off saving up for a Clem
and keeping an eye out for a used one. They seems to have a criminally low
resale value, it’s exactly what she’s looking for, and will be easier than
piecing together something from an old mtb.
And I say this as some
I'm in this camp. I looked longingly at Rivs and bought a Surly instead.
I spent more money converting it to 650b to get the wider tires, but
(obviously) still not a Riv. I finally bought a Riv and haven't looked
back. My brother in law did the same thing. Ditched the Surly for the Riv

That's a great find. Why was the owner willing to give it away?

Not that another 'I agree' is needed, but...I agree.
If your friend is willing to keep it fairly stock and is under 5'10" (those

wonderful bikes. But as B
I completely agree. I think it needs to be a Clem. The search is on.
Thanks for the encouragement.

Bill,
A friend gifted me a complete, fairly good 1989 Team Stumpumper (Prestige

is always fun! :)

I've purchased an obscene number of old mtbs off Craigslist, and have had lots
of fun turning them into something ridable and cool. That said, may Allah smite
