I would love to see Riv (or someone) start sourcing good quality <10 speed drivetrain components.

[RBW] Re: What components do you wish RBW would start "making"?
Agreed. I like using zip-ties to attach my Wald basket to the Nitto Campee front rack on my Atlantis, primarily because I can cut them and remove the basket in about ten seconds if I'd prefer to use my Swift Ozette bag. Regardless of which setup I'm using, I find the Atlantis handles like a dream with a heavy and high front load. I even strapped a 40 pound bag of woodstove pellets to the rack, which was so tall that half the bag was above my already high handlebars. I was able to cruise home on snowy trails without an issue. It could be that I'm just so used to more aggressive frame geo that the Atlantis feels great by comparison, but I've never felt it needed improvement. I can ride with no-hands with a loaded basket/Ozette without running into flip-flip issues too.

I wouldn't mind seeing a more deliberate/integrated front rack/LG Wald basket combo. A lot of people seem fine with using zip ties to attach the Wald to a Nitto or porteur front rack, but it always seemed like a workaround for a real solution that didn't exist. Wald is MUSA, no? Maybe work with them to produce a sturdy purpose-built support and attachment system?

One other resurrection - for a season or two Berthoud teamed up with SKS to make a real nice composite/alu fender. Quality and looks are a head above traditional SKS and it uses the Berthoud stainless steel fender hardware. My only set is already in use. I've looked every for a NOS set to no avail.

Bikes. I want them to keep playing with bikes, and wherever that takes them in what doesn't exist in the form it ought to exist for the way they ride. Because they ride like I ride and they helped me lear to ride like I ride. So just like I don't want to tell Apple what to create that will help me function better int he world despite my brain injury, I don't want to tell them what to create to help me ride despite my bludgeoned brain. They are excellent at seeing what is needed and can see it in ways I never could. I love and trust that about them, be it a bike, component, bag, clothes, or anything else. That's what is on my wish list for Rivendell. Thanks, Grant and company for all you do!
