Ditto to all of that. If I streamlined to one bike, this would be it.

I ride my Hunqapillar in all weather and conditions and on steep mountain trails, including bikepacking. I have disk brakes that also happen to be rim breaks. I stop and slow just fine.

With abandon,
Patrick

I adore my Riv Allrounder and all of things I can do with it.  And Riv continues to make gorgeous bikes of course.  But I think the lack of disc brakes hurts them as far as being a practical option, at least in this area Sierras/Reno with our rocky trails.  I've done years of "underbiking"  but at this point if I'm going the places I want to go for a sub 24 hour or day trip, I want the stoppers. Curious if others are migrating in that direction...anyway, here is my riv in various forms of riding builds.  All wonderful and fun!

I still have two Rivs in my stable–I recently sold a bike that was more or less a duplicate of another that I ride more often.

I’ve also started tending toward riding my Alex Singers more often, particularly now that I have one with a little more beausage. As Grant would likely predict, having a bike that’s not quite so perfect makes me feel freer about getting it out in the real world. Ditto for my Riv Road, which has not paint other than a home-applied clear coat over bare metal.

I've kept one Riv in the bike stable (my Rosco v2), but my recent sale of my Hillborne was in favor of a similar style of bike, but one that takes disc brakes, an All-City Space Horse Disc. Previously, when I wanted to add a rougher-stuff bike to my bike stable, oversize tires and, again, disc brakes were a requirement, and I added a Surly Troll and subtracted a Romulus. In both cases a Hillborne/Appaloosa and a Hunq would have worked, if disc brakes were an option.

Why so many great Rivs for sale on the list recently? What are folks moving to this riding season and why?
