I started this damn thread .. and could not be more jealous (!). Fit wise: I'd want to be able to switch between drops and say, bull moose (and yet, still hope the BB wasn't too high) but hey, that's why the call it "custom" isn't it? On Wednesday, March 4, 2020 at 8:19:49 PM UTC-5, Michael /

You'd have to work pretty damn hard to get either of those three models anywhere near 18lbs and fitted for practical commuting. I'd wager it's impossible, actually .. and anyway, that's not the Riv ethos. The Sam or Homer with fenders, at least one rack and a basket and a full compliment of mid

[RBW] Re: WTB -- BOBish bike. And -- thoughts on this Romlus FS?

Like Kai says: the Jumble is worth a look. On the other hand - that's not a terrible deal for a canti 700c all-roadish bike that appears to fit 35's. Also considering that it's a Riv and may likely have that silky-magic Riv feel. Anyone know max tire size on a Rom? If it fits 38's then I might n

Personally, I LOVE station wagons and I think, cool is what you make it. We've been in various V-Series Volvo wagons for the past 22 years. The only bike that doesn't slide in whole into the back with the rear seats folded down is my wife's ridiculously long Cheviot. For that land yacht, I

[RBW] Re: Cheviot limits

I'm 99.9% sure you can't fit 47's and fenders on a Chev ... so that leaves you in the 42 / 1.75 tire with fenders category. We're running Hetres and V/O Snakeskin fenders (and those are technically only 50 but it's working) on a 55. I could probably scare up a few pics of the fit if you're inte

An Atlantis is a perfect candidate for a drop/upright easy switch-out and provided yours has DT shifter bosses (and you're OK using down tube shifters) then Shoji and Benz have it right. Seriously folks -- buy another bike (?) where did all the deep pockets come from??? On Wednesday, April 10,

[RBW] Re: what can I expect when changing from drop to upright bars?

Hey Joe, First thing you can expect is to tinker - first time upright bar set ups are a journey (in the best way). Stem length, bar height and reach are likely to be the three areas you'll fiddle with most at first - then grip position and maybe in the end, width if you're really sensitive an
