I'd recommend looking at the Canonet QL17 GIII. It's firmly in budget, well
built, often referred to as a poor man's Leica. It's a rangefinder with a
fixed lens but it's quick and sharp - f1.7!! What makes it perfect for the
bike though is that it's smaller than an SLR (or a Leica actually), wel
I love the new bike and Riv's current direction. The bikes are more
accessible to a wider audience both design-wise and cost-wise and challenge
you to think differently (maybe in way that's more in tune with others and
the terrain). I like that the Hill Bike remains straight-forward to service
Hi Patch
Another data point:
I've got the larger Wald basket on my bike; I'm totally sold on it for
versatility and ease of use. A bag that fits perfectly, has many colour
options and meets a lot of your criteria is the Patagonia Tormiro Pack. It
has two neatly designed external pockets that's
Hi Patrick, I've tried many options for my wide feet. For the Roadini I
also use Sidi Genius Mega's too (like Matt). For my commuter I've got Hope
pedals. They're expensive but I've found them to be a tough, well made,
wide platform for mashing in thin soled shoes. I was wearing Vivos

Hi All, I have wide feet and prefer a thin, flat sole in my shoes. The RMX
pedal that Riv sells is good but the best I've found is the Hope F20 Flat
Pedal. It's well made (the bearings seem fantastic), thin and light for
such a large pedal (100mm wide and 110mm front to rear). It has a very

Hi Julian
On the occasions that I took my AHH into a bike shop here in the UK the
staff were always really impressed and told me what a lovely bike they
thought it was. Often the owners (who, admittedly, were older) made a point
of coming out to talk to me about it. To me these are the knowledge
Hi Stephen, Back in 2007 I bought an A Homer Hilsen from Riv. I was living
in Yorkshire at the time with a baby on the way and Grant's philosophy
about having fun and focusing on versatility really hit home. I sold a
number of bikes to fund the complete bike (with racks and bags). The import

Hi All - Does anyone know if Riv plan to make it available electronically
from the Rivbike site or the new Riv shop specific BBH site? I've really
enjoyed the RivReaders in the past and saw the link to sign up but figured
I shouldn't be asking for it to be posted to the UK. I love hearing Grant'
I do have an opinel folder that I've rigged up as a bar end shifter.
Oookay, it has it's downsides, but boy, that thing's aero...

Thanks all for the responses, photos and the link to the axe book, Bob.
Endorsement by the Riv Chica Warrior's no less - whatcha waiting for!!
In summary my thoughts are: it's a lovely thing, it may not always have a
use, I'll enjoy when it does (and when it doesn't), Gransfors (and Riv) are
Hi All
Looking through Manny's photos (many thanks Manny for sharing and great
stuff) I saw that there is a photo of the new hand hatchet in the Gransfors
Bruks range.
I remember when Rivendell were selling these a few years ago and loved the
design and the ethos behind the company (not too
Hi Shawn
I've been mulling over the same dilemma: Big Ben or Big Apples? In the UK
they're both available in the 26 x 2.0 which seems fine with a 60cm
mudguard if you're not ploughing through muddy trails. The review from Rivs
swing me towards Ben: its's the newer tyre and probably more versat
Hi All, Does anyone know if the shop sacks and tour sacks will be available
in the tan or the grid grey fabric? I loved the dusty trail look of the old
