Re: [RBW] Re: Just restored '95 Riv Road

My 1997 A/R was painted Sherwood Green..which I really like. But the lugs are less elaborate...so they don't show upbut given those gorgeous RS designed lugs you have, you make a really good point that the blue highlights them well. That is a beauty! On Thursday, February 9, 2023 at

Dan, I have been meaning to write a post about some long term riding comparisons I have been making between a Toyo Homer and a Toyo Romulus. I have more to say, but I will keep it simple for the moment - yes, there is a difference. I have a 59 cm Romulus that rides differently, more flexy in a

Can concur. My 54.3cm custom (79 PBH) has a Platypus-like to toptube which I consider a "mid-tube" that falls between a traditional diamond frame and step-through. It's great for stopping for a minute to get both feet down and check my phone or whatever, but I've had very little success

Jock, As additional info: Richard Sachs designed the curvey lugs for the first RIv Roads. I didn't know that in 1995 but saw it in one of the original catalogs. Yeah, there is definitely a difference when you turned the wrench yourself. Been a while but it was fun. I didn't wrap the bars so
