I confess to a similar temptation/line of thought. After my second Riv purchase (Atlantis), I realized the first (Bleriot) was on the small side. My fault, not RBW's - my pbh measurement was off when I got the Bleriot. I loved the Bleriot, and didn't want to part with it, but was riding the Atlantis almost exclusively because of the fit issue. Eventually, regretfully, I decided I needed to do something about it.
But after staring at a few Riv options I started lamenting the lack of current 650b Riv options in my size, an issue Michael alluded to. So that opened the door to custom considerations, which I entertained seriously. Near-daily minutes spent on the issue, looking at various builders, ideas, etc. Not total OCD, but I thought about it quite a bit, several months. And along the way -- perhaps as psychological justification for the impending expense -- I did come to think of my new project as taking my bicycle "problem," as my significant other calls it, to another, higher level. Then after he posted here, Scott and I swapped Bleriot's: he had the larger size I needed, and he took mine, a size down. And a remarkable thing happened. I stopped thinking about customs. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To post to this group, send email to [email protected].
