Yeah, I don't think scarcity of parts would be on my list for worries with a Riv. Build quality, ride quality, and ease of maintenance has always been great with Rivendells for me.
But, and this is just for me and my current riding life, Riv is unfortunately not making a bike for my riding style currently. I've gone to another company for my steel mountain bike which fits my riding more and checks the boxes more. If I started doing more touring or bike camping a Riv would be on the list. The riding I'm doing the more modern components and features like disc brakes, threadless steer tubes and headsets, and some other stuff are important. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
