I hear you on the stair lugging. That is about the one area where little old Miss Clementine can be a mama bear. Going down is the worst, though after a thread on the subject of carrying mixtes down the stairs (was it here or BoB?) I now have a slightly better technique. Further Riv content: the bike pictured above came with only one folding pedal, so it is now sporting the stock pedals off my Clementine.
