The flip side for me is the local club (with a bunch of great people mind

Can we discuss the spoking pattern? :-)
Has Riv ever actually offered that? Seems unlikely. Hmmmn, would require
two different spoke lengths, if I see things correctly.

Hey, man- "shop victoriously" as the eBay TV ads used to say.
Those who can't be bothered to do a little research will end up paying more
than they need to for things. I see current items go for more than retail

Well, it was the green of the Ram I first saw that 'spoke' to me, over the Ram

Hi Eli,
I'm going to try and get my hands on a wheel box from my LBS this weekend. I'm
thinking I'll be able to sort of fold the tires up in there with them. It
should make for the most economical shipping option. What's your zip code so I
can get a proper quote?

And if you want another color, you can just get it. (I did - got a dark
navy metallic blue that i like to think of as blackberry). I was going to
have to wait for the Waterford 64 anyways, so i decided to pay a little
extra.

oddly, i think that frame was up once, and then is back. (at least that
