Hooray, his smile says it all! A great ending to this story, may he enjoy it
for a long time ( at least until it's time for a larger size).

Hey Jim, et al.
My '99 Riv is Joe Starck built and I have always called it semi-custom Riv
Road Std, but it was made specifically for me. I was measured by GP when I

conclusion was that the standard 55cm geometry was fine
And now for the resolution to this crazy thread.
I had called the Portland Islabike dealer and a friendly rep chatted with me on
the phone regarding all things Islabike. She eventually got around to asking
how I found out about the company, which I then said was due to all of your
fine folks.
Tim,
Thanks! Are you speaking of the Dead sticker on the seat tube? If so I wish
it was.

Jeez. I thought I was the only one who installed that bottle cage upside
down. For what it's worth, it works upside down; you just have to kind of
wrestle the bottle in and out a bit. Works a whole lot better, however,
when it's properly installed.

On Saturday,
Thanks Steve! I may take you up on the offer.
Deacon, thanks for the tips.
I spent this afternoon installing the studded tires while the blizzard raged.
First I pinched the tube installing the front tire. After retrieving the spare
from my saddlesack, I installed the tire again. Upon inflating
We're on our way to 30 inches of snow here in Allentown PA. Sunday will be
our dig out day. The good news is that by Thursday it will be in the 40's.
I'm glad I got out for a two hour ride on Wednesday, who knows when I'll
get out for a long ride again.

Michael,
This is probably repeating much of what has been said here, but I've had
experience with two setups. I found that the small Ortlieb Front Rollers
fit nicely on the lower rail of the Nitto Big Rack and cleared the
canti-brakes well, too:

If you get out, have a blast! Everything is far more compact on a snow

I installed my first King Cage Iris that way too. It works if you put in
the bottle from the side, never had one fall out. That said it works
better the correct way.

Shoveled 8" of snow last night and 8 more this morning.
And yet it still snows and the wind gusts 30+ mph. I want to ride and know
that Deacon and Mark Reimer among others would likely be riding. Perhaps I
will give it a go tomorrow after the storm stops.

Thanks for this perspective. It seems that one great disadvantage of CF is
that it suffers easily from wear, or at least from scratches; overcoming
this and building for long term durability for everyday use and inexpert

Hugh, all of my bikes (except the Commando) have 94/58 BCD cranksets.
There are a number of companies that still make that size as others have
pointed out. But most are 8 or 9 speed based. You can get a full set of
