[RBW] Re: Roadini

Well the reason I brought that up was because the Atlantis and older models had 40mm of rake, the Hunqapillar saw 48 and 50mm of rake, and the Appaloosa saw 52 and 54mm of rake. And they all have been around 71-71.5 degree head angles. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to

[RBW] Re: Roadini

Even if he thought about it 8 years ago, what we consider "long chain stays" weren't on Riv production bikes until the intro of the Betty/Chev, and lengthened even more with the clem and Appaloosa. Those are fairly recent models, no? Semantics aside, I was suggesting that Grant is not above ex

I've been thinking about getting a pair as I got dirt drops. Need something a bit more stopping power than my campy cx cantis. Do you think they will fit 26x2.0 big bens? On Saturday, February 21, 2015 at 11:09:47 PM UTC-5, Mike Shaljian wrote: > > Have you considered getting Paul Motolites? I h

I was looking through Riv's site and saw they had a demo one. Are they not being sold anymore? It seems like a solid bike frame, and I hear it has lighter tubing than the Hillborne. Maybe a nice substitute for the A Homer Hilsen (in function as a club ride bike, not geo). I debated between the

Tony, That's funny. I was on my way up from DC to VA on my Hillborne and happened to spot an orange Hillborne with mustache bars on the Custis trail. We were both biking opposite directions, but both said "Nice bike!" as we passed. Pretty sure that's the same one. Love seeing other Riv riders a

I mostly use my Patagonia torrent shell has zippers at the armpit which is nice. Also use this as a winter wind jacket layering deep winter wool underneath it. If don't know if it's going to rain or not, I carry my lightweight Columbia jacket, which goes into its own pocket. On Wednesday, Sept

[RBW] Re: Small Sackville Saddlesack, will it fit, or will it sag?

It seems to hold shape fairly well. Though it would depend on how heavy you stuff it. I've seen some ones that were sagging (they seemed to be used heavily, and very sunbleached and old). You can always get a smaller light weight rear rack. I used a Marks rack in the rear. Super useful. On Fri
