Re: [RBW] Re: Soma San Marcos questions....
Just a follow-up. I contacted Riv HQ and they no longer sell this frame and said that even if were to get one from Soma they could not build it up due to changes they made to the frame (different sizes and some wheel size changes).

[RBW] Soma San Marcos questions....
Turns out that Riv HQ does not sell this frame anymore and even if you get one elsewhere they will not build one up because they say Soma has made changes to the frame. :( -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

[RBW] Soma San Marcos questions....
I would like to get my first Riv bike. I mainly plan to commute with this bike (17 mi roundtrip, hills) and do the occasional road ride. I have a neck pain issue and I am hoping a more upright position and fatter tires will help. I have a nice carbon road bike for fast rides, but I would like to mix in a bike with a different position to take stress off my neck. I don't plan right now on doing any off-road riding or touring. I have tested ridden the Hunq, Cheviot, and Sam. They were all fun, but I thought the Sam probably seemed the most appropriate. But I didn't get a chance to ride a Soma SM. The Riv description is that is like a more well rounded Rodeo, which seems to fit what I would use it for. I suppose a Rodeo would as well but at more cost. Questions: 1) Does the Soma sound like the right choice for me? 2) Do they still sell this frame? If you google search it, the Riv page is the first listed, but you can't find it on their frames page. 3) My PBH is 78 (just) and so I guess I am in the 51 cm range, however the 51 cm Sam didn't leave much crotch room. Would a 47 cm work? Seems odd to me that the size down from 51 is a big jump to 47. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

[RBW] Re: Anybody attend the Rivendell book reading for Bike Snob?
I went as well and the above descriptions are accurate. His blog (BikeSnobNYC) is hilarious and while I go months forgetting to look at it, whenever I do, I am always very amused. His focus is bikes of course, but you wouldn't have to be that into bikes to enjoy it. He is simply a good writer. You sort of expect him to have some sort of life plan or be on a mission about bicycles, but what comes out when he speaks is that he is just a guy who fell into writing a blog that became a hit and his world is about amusing vignettes rather than crusading for bicycle advocacy. Grant's rambling but hilarious anecdote about the traffic ticket stole the show for me however!
