I’m showing up, plan or no plan.
There will be commemorative patches in... drumroll... green OR blue:

I think but am not sure it just straight up jams into those three cast
holes (two fore, one aft) in the top of the rack. Doesn't look like it
cares about the mousetrap.

I've purchased an obscene number of old mtbs off Craigslist, and have had lots
of fun turning them into something ridable and cool. That said, may Allah smite
me if I ever go down that black hole you pour money into again. A Clem is a
better bike and a better deal every time.

Here's a wee preview of this past week's adventure, Boots in his element in
full gear. Bottom line is I have to recalibrate what is ridable. The geometry
and plus tires are a delightful combination ...

Hey Leroy,
I have a Clem rack that I’ve removed the spring part from. Is that in any way
necessary for this adapter to work? Having a hard time picturing the mechanics
of it.

There are different levels of finish for fillet brazing. I understand the

I completely agree. I think it needs to be a Clem. The search is on.
Thanks for the encouragement.

If your friend is willing to keep it fairly stock and is under 5'10" (those
80s and 90s Specialized mountain bikes were not designed for taller
riders), an old Rockhopper might do the job nicely. They were really
wonderful bikes. But as

(swap the bars to boscos, add fenders, brooks saddle, basket+racks,

All new cables/housing and grips $40
Fenders $50
Brooks saddle $120
basket $20
Racks $100 - $300
Schwalbe fat tires $90

Thanks, especially, for the on-topic replies and the pointer to Bike 24 in
Germany. They do indeed carry the full assortment of Pletscher accessories,
including the Easy-Fix baskets, bags and rack mounts. Their prices are
fair, especially when you delete the German value added tax

Ha!
I relate Mark in that I must have at least 50
old BB's from late 70's and 80's off bikes from over the years replaced usually
by a UN55.
if you are trying to do this super budget, find an old fully rigid complete
stumpjumper or rockhopper from the early 90s, add the riv accoutrements,
(swap the bars to boscos, add fenders, brooks saddle, basket+racks,
schwalbe fat tires). done deal for easily under $600. alternatively, find a
BUMP!
Forgot to mention in the initial post, it includes seat post as well.

I will also include a pair of Schwalbe Big Apples (26x2.15") and a pair of
Schwalbe City Jet (26x1.95") tires.
Both pairs are
BUMP!

I'm in this camp. I looked longingly at Rivs and bought a Surly instead.
I spent more money converting it to 650b to get the wider tires, but
(obviously) still not a Riv. I finally bought a Riv and haven't looked
back. My brother in law did the same thing. Ditched the Surly for the Riv

I’m with what others have said—your friend is better off saving up for a Clem
and keeping an eye out for a used one. They seems to have a criminally low
resale value, it’s exactly what she’s looking for, and will be easier than
piecing together something from an old mtb.
And I say this as
Bump and lower - have 1 set left. $25 plus shipping.

Bumping this. I'll cover shipping, so $70 shipped for a pair of rims.

Ash, how "upright" is the build on that Boots? I'm pretty much out of the game
for regular bikes now - I'm currently riding a Crank Forward semi-recumbent -
because of arthritis in my right hand, but am hopeful I can find a workaround
eventually. It might be worth a trip to RBW to take a spin
Amen, brother.

Despite having a bin full of these, I am seriously considering one of the
new ones for my upcoming Hillibike.
Rich, if you enjoy working on bikes, I would say definitely worth the time
and investment, especially if you have never worked on a classic cup and
cone bb. The couple of folks over
Hi Ash. Thanks for the mini review. How does it compare to other Rivs? Have
you had a chance to ride a Clem? Clemsters are quite upright friendly!
I spoke with a Riv spokesperson and I thought he said presale in September.
But now it's starting to sound like possibly sooner, and maybe the
35 matches
