steel frame that can do basically anything.

I scored a set of Mavic Open Pro rims for free when buying another wheelset
on Craigslist. The guy just threw them in.
I built them up with some Ultegra 6500 hubs and it's a strong,
straightforward, and reasonable light wheel set that is adjustable and
rebuildable with standard tools.
I don't
in the rear fender
on the left lower strut. Maybe this is it. It can flex to hit the tire, and
it might be bouncing against the wheel as I turn. Maybe it's been a broken
fender all along.
It's not supposed to rain for a while. Off with the fenders soon for
testing!
Cheers!

On Tuesday
if it happens again. I guess the result would be the same
either way; it's the old fenders so I buy nicer fenders because I like
having them, or it is the fenders, I fix it with the fenders off and I buy
nicer fenders because I like having them.
Cheers!

Good morning!
I don't know how you'd define "a few hours," but I'm in Omaha, NE and have
a 59cm. If for some strange reason you found yourself in town, you'd be
more than welcome to give it a spin. I'm confident, though, that you'll
encounter one a little closer to home.

think Ron Frazell
and Hugh Smitham? are close-ish too? L.A. Riv List meetup?

I'm interested in your front racks and down tube shifters that you may

practical bike design from the 70s, 80's and 90's and put them all

more fun when you really feel the challenges and struggles but want to push
yourself, then I think a Riv is the bike for that situation.
Neither rider is wrong to want what they want out of their experiences.

If you do the newbaums and twine and shellac it, it will be pert near

For your carrying needs, I think you could get away with a bigger saddle
bag (Baggabond or Happisack) if you're carrying shoes. Maybe even a
Bike-a-bag (is that what the pannier is called?).
Have fun!

Fantastic.
No rush on my end. Just hang on to it and I can grab it when schedules are
better.
I’m happy to PayPal or Venmo any time, or can do cash in person.
Thanks!

Hey Joe
I’ll take the carradice bag if it’s still available. I live in Echo Park so
maybe I can just pick it up sometime? Happy to pay right away, though.
Thanks!

I settled on a nitto handlebar bag support, that riv used to sell
I love this crazy, out of the box thinking, but 2 kgs seems like not
quite enough load capacity.
Thanks!
