I walked over to Riv HQ yesterday and took a look around. The abandoned custom is the blue, fixed-gear MTB from the SD show. I hope someone buys it as is. It is a unique and beautiful bike. The BB is fillet brazed because they didn't have a lug for the angles, spacing etc. The bike was designed for someone in a place with fewer hills than around here. I like riding fixed off-road but only with 2 brakes. No rear brake causes a lot of skidding on the steeps, which isn't good for the trails. An extra gusset at the DT/HT intersection was requested, like a Bombadil. That's the missing piece.

No telling if that is the one though. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
