It is my understanding that Riv frames are the one product they sell as many of as they can make. The Roadini was an exception and it had shorter stays than the other stuff, I don't think Grant's longbikes are a marketing issue.
I love Silver Power Ratchet shifters but they do indeed belong in the simple/fixie category of bikes you don't shift much..a thing Grant has promoted since way back in the Bstone days. When I use them I tend to stay in a particular gear longer and just grind it or coast down because hunting for gears with friction can be more bother than it's worth. This works great for me - especially on my eClem which hardly needs to be shifted - but as masmojo says wouldn't be great on hilly dirt rides. If I bought a Gus/Susie it would get a 1x indexed drivetrain, my custom will have one Silver shifting two rings up front. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
