Unless you are going to be super hard on the wheels, Dyad is probably
overkill. I would go with a Synergy OC rear rim and regular front.
The reduced spoke tension in the OC rim will make for a very stable
sturdy wheel. I have the Synergy setup on my AHH with a Schmidt

Well, I think Shimano LX hubs are a pretty great deal. I have them on
a cargo bike that I use in all kinds of nasty weather, I routinely
carry myself (200 punds) plus over 100 pounds in the front bed, plus
the weight of the bike which must be another 35-40 pounds. No sign of

Was looking for a 63/64 - I think the Atlantis used to come in 64.
We didn't get too far into the discussion - so I never asked about
price.
They also suggested a Bombadil, but I don't care for the double tube.

I wouldn't worry about it. If you're riding a Riv you probably aren't
racing...don't pedal through the corners and keep your outside crank
in the down position if you are turning agressively at high speed (you
should do that regardless of what pedal you are using). I've used the
MKS touring pedal
ultra-clean IF style.
Offered at $3000, I have over $5K into this bike - the price is a
steal, but reasonable offers will be politely considered: I promise
not to be offended if you promise not to get upset if I decline.
