Both bikes are wonderful all rounders. You can''t go wrong with either.
Both take fat tires. My son's bike will easily take 700x45s (fendered)

Call Riv and ask whether this works... they will probably want to know what
stem is on the Clem and what stem is on your Foy. This will be your

Dave,
At the 2008 Five Boro ride I saw a gentleman with a beautiful mustard-
colored Bleriot with a front rack, though I could not get across to

PS Is it coincidence that this should happen the same week as Gino's
post to "secret STI owners"? Hmmm. (

Funny. I learned the hard way that if you box your Ramb to ship home
via FedEx after Ride the Rockies, it's a good idea to tighten the
Nitto stem's handlebar clamp bolt and the seat-post bolt. Both

One more polishing question: how do you get the cassette and cranks so
clean (especially in the deep recesses of the nooks and crannies)? The

Is having the bars sweep back a patentable design element? I notice in
