Tall Riv with Xtracycle--that would be something to see!
I see a fair amount of Rivs around town. I was heading out on my Hilsen
yesterday and passed a women riding a Bleriot with Albatross bars. A great
bike. I feel like I see a fair amount of Rivs around town. I also feel like

I will be in the Dalles Sat for the Gorge Ride but am planning to meet the

Can't resist asking, Jim -- in your (I assume better informed than mine, since
I've never encountered another Riv of any kind in my neck of the Eastern
Meglopolis) view, how many of those distinct groups are there, and can you name
the ones other than the tatted and pierced
In fact, this should be a group question -- everyone sing along!

I used the term cycling misfits above in the most loving possible way.
Almost every Riv owner or fan feels alienated from mainstream cycling in
some way. Given the objective weirdness of mainstream cycling, being a
misfit in this context is nothing to be ashamed of! You can categorize

Okay,
I just tried out my 20 year old, somewhat corroded Accu-Gage that I

You can thread a bolt through the bottom bracket tool into the spindle to keep
the tool in place, can't remember the size, maybe 8mm fine pitch. Then just
use a cheater bar over your adjustable wrench for extra leverage.

I've had this Zefal gauge for something like 15-18 years. Works by pressing the appropriate side against the open tire valve and quickly removing. (Has both a Schrader and a Presta side) I really can't say if it's accurate but it seems to be. I would certainly trust it for an 'on the road'
I think I've got one of those, or at least it looks very similar, but
it's Schraeder only. Do they make this type of gauge in Presta, or do
y'all have to use an adaptor?

The brakes appeared new, but came in a clear plastic bag, not a Tektro box,

I can attest to the installation of honjo fenders. It's similar to
