Hi Ash. Thanks for the mini review. How does it compare to other Rivs? Have you had a chance to ride a Clem? Clemsters are quite upright friendly!
I spoke with a Riv spokesperson and I thought he said presale in September. But now it's starting to sound like possibly sooner, and maybe the actual bikes will be shipping at that time? Although it could take the better part of the summer to test the lighter bikes, so maybe that target date was...on target. Who knows, but I am preparing by selling some stuff to build up the bike fund account.
