Thanks everyone.. I had a great chat with Vince today and he patiently answered all my questions. Ultimately it comes down if I need more load carrying capacity - if yes, then perhaps Sam is a better choice.. which means I will have to import it from Blue Lug...I do not know how much any customs/duty will cost. Or simply try to snag a CHG and keep the loads on the bike to less than 15 lbs.. or n+1 bike:) By the way, Vince did say that ever since the NYer article came out about Riv & Grant, the interest in Riv has increased and possibly CHG might get sold within seconds..! Unless you're super heavy, that 15 pounds probably won't overload the bike. The rider weight limit on the frame is 220 pounds! The only time when I ever had trouble with a road bike was when I was towing 60 pounds of load in a trailer on my Ti road bike (which was so flexy my 200 pound friends said they saw the fork visibly flex when they test rode it!). Steel bikes don't fail catastrophically, and I treat my Roadini the way other people treat their MTBs. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
