Hi Patrick (Moore), Thanks! I've long admired your two Riv customs, and the way you have written about them says a lot about how great they are. The tires I have on this bike are Schwalbe 700x47 Marathons (measure more like 43 or 44mm)- they are not new, in fact, I've been riding the heck out of these tires for over a year now, and they still have the little nubs on them from the molding process... at this rate they are going to last forever (I love schwalbe for that). For other parts, the rims are Velocity Dyads, hubs are White Industries and Phil Wood, Tektro cantis, mechs are shimano XTR front and back, Rivendell guard crank, Tange BB, KMC chain, IRD ball/rollerbearing headset (that Riv sells) and pretty much Nitto or Shimano everything else that I forgot.
