James,
I have a waterford built AHH in a 65cm, in W. AVL. Doesn't *exactly* fit
your criteria, but if you want to throw your leg over it your more than
welcome to.

My extremely biased view is Rivs aren't built for heavy front loads and I
just won't anymore, it feels unweildy and unsafe. Can it be done anyway?
Sure. By people who aren't me.

Back in the day I had a nice front bag that had a coated steel
loop-over-stem frame that the bag slid in to. For vertical stability it had
2 elastic cords that attached to the fork eyelets. It didn't rely on
anything to keep it in place in the frame with it's L at the end that the

Aww, that 80’s vintage Fuji Royale wasn’t so bad as long as you distributed
weight properly - about double weight in front compared to back. What was scary
were the descents with those side pull road brakes - seriously outmatched for a
weighted Royale.
How do I know this? 5+ months touring Eur

Have you tried any loads *split* between the front and the rear??? Say
15# in front and 30# in rear??

I think my only low trail bikes are my Bromptons. Loading the front on that is
the best option since the luggage carrier block is there and I have a bunch on
Brompton bags to fit it. Plus, placing anything on the rear rack that is much
wider than the rack itself will interfere with my feet when

Just a month or so ago I transitioned from front-loading to rear-loading on
my Riv after asking myself the same question.
Moving that ten pound load from a front basket to the rear, complemented by
my (typically one-sided only) Ortlieb pannier, makes the bike feel so much
better!

I have not put together a complete bike although I've changed out many

build up a Roaduno in 2023. WI freewheel is a no-brainer for me but all the
other parts are TBD. I agree about TCO Bill. Although manageable to ride

Thanks Eric! No that's an MT10 DirtDrop I got from Riv, it's a bit taller

Hey, thanks Stephen, I appreciate the kind feedback!
Definitely check out the Suntour shifters.
I actually don't like the Oury grips that much and I'm planning to go back
to the felted wool grips wrapped with Newbaum's. And I'm going to wrap the
area ahead of the levers, too. Pretty much the

I have these on almost all of my bikes. The cups that are installed in the
frame are zinc plated aluminum. The steel race goes inside the cups -
aluminum will not hold up.

Hey Eric,
Enjoyed the video, as well as your others! I appreciated the top down

back so far. In fact, seeing them from that angle they look so similar to
the Tosco bar shape. Also the suntour power thumb shifters look gre
I found this thread on bikeforums which is part one of three that answered

My thinking was to mount all the controls on the grip part of the handlebar
and ideally leave the forward extensions free for an alternate hand
position. This would we give you at least 3 different positions for your
hands- on the grips, on the forward extensions and on the bar beside the
stem.
I love that bike, Joe! Let me know if you do go for a stem swap and how it
works out. Is that the Periscopa I sold you a while back?
