 Eric, I think they must be about 54cm Noodles, since I noticed them right 
away. I'm copying Ian here to confirm. (Ian, I posted your bike on this RBW 
Google Group.)
The purple bar tape and twine looked great with the silver paint! 
I think Will "found" this frame for him looking around Riv HQ. Another 
satisfied Hillborne owner!
I hope you are well,

 Off topic, but maybe worth another thread because I think there has 
 been noteworthy progress:  I LOVE the VP "Clem Smith" pedals Riv sells. So 
 much so that I bought a pile of them. I traded email with Spencer, first, 
 to make sure I wasn't hogging Riv's supply. Crazy inexpensive, super high 
 quality bearings, lots of traction without being leg-shredders. Between 
 those and several pairs of Lems Shoes I am finally happy to be converting 
 most of my bikes to flat pedals. My forefeet have widened considerably 
 since retiring, the effect of no longer wearing dress shoes. I went 
 through 
 three pairs of biking shoes in two years. Lake shoes in wide are pretty 
 good, but Lems are a game-changer for me. It was getting hot today, so I 
 wore their Primal Zens, which have lots of ventilation.

Beautiful Coco! Where in BC are there still lupins like this in bloom? In 
the southern interior, ours have all gone to seed. A lovely commute, indeed!

Been wanting to ride in Grant County for a number of years now, Veloman. 
Your photos have got me thinking I'd better get there soon. What a 
beautiful looking ride, and the Churchill School in Baker looks like a
