The reality about parts is this: - you can fit a modern outboard bearing crank on a Riv. 68mm bb shells aren't going away. - rim brakes aren't going away. - seatposts? Always there - saddles are fine - quills stems are produced constantly by several makers - tires we have MORE of now than 10 years ago! - we now have more dynamo hubs too! - plenty of nice rear hubs, including MUSA - Microshift has reinvigorated thumb and bar end shifting - we have so many choices of racks and bags nowadays
The worries are - 26" & 650b rims for rim brakes. - forks? That's a weird concern. I think the number of forks that Riv has had to replace is pretty low as illustrated by their selling off of forks and building weirdo bikes around them recently - ?? There's a lot to be said of why Riv should do x, y or z but scarcity of parts is silly. -J -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
