Confirmed in the email sent out today, no geo changes from last batch. My 2018 Sam is 26.8, so as previously stated, not a new development for the frame. Wish I didn't already have one, the lime olive is quite possibly my favorite riv color I've seen, second maybe to the green Hunqapillars. -R

hot diggity daffodils, that's a sweet wheelset. If it was 130mm rear spacing I'd be game. Good luck with the sale! -Ryan On Wed, Sep 28, 2022 at 12:50 PM Michael Ullmer wrote: > I have these posted on ebay, but thought there may be interest to the Riv > Crowd, particularly because it has a

FWIW, to second Aaron's suggestion, the Velocity Quill is an improvement on the A23, as many have found the A23 too easy to dent/flat spot (myself included). It is a wider rim than the a23, enterprise, or pacenti brevet, but any road caliper found on a riv shouldn't have issue with it's width.

Alex, how’s the attachment to the basket on this bag? You think it would work with one of the 139 half baskets? -R On Thu, Jul 28, 2022 at 3:45 PM Alex K wrote: > $100 local Bay Area sale, or $115 shipped CONUS. This bag is not > Riv-specific, but this Green always looked good on my Clem. It

How that’s a very cool part to have been stashing away. Definitely the right time to be selling these since the “vintage” mtb market is so hot right now. Long gone are the days of $15 XT thumbies from the local bike co-op. Good luck with the sale! -R On Thu, Jul 28, 2022 at 7:39 PM

A local rider, who was present at our weekly coffee outside meet up this morning, has a sidepull sam that they had canti posts added at the proper height for 650b. They’re currently running the bike with Paul motolites (which have a considerable range of adjustment) and 700c wheels. A funny way to

Bill, Alway love to see rivs out on brevets! I have a similar set up to your Roadeo on a Circle A Cycles frame, 32s but *with* fenders, that is not my go-to rando bike, but I find it a nice change of pace sometimes. Little bit zippier feeling than my larger volume tired alternatives. Longest

Hey Adam, thanks for giving me the opportunity to build your bike for you! An absolute pleasure. So glad to hear you enjoyed your inaugural ride. As a mechanic and fellow Riv owner nothing warms my heart more. -Ryan 1/5 of Keystone Bicycle Co. On Thu, Jan 28, 2021 at 6:26 PM Mark Roland

David, that build looks super fresh with the Oracle Ridge tires on there! I'll have to pick up a pair at some point and pull the fenders to give those a try. OP, I've been running Panaracer Gravel King SK 700x43s on CR18s with VO Zeppelin Fenders (52mm wide?) on a Canti Sam and the fit

FWIW, A friend of mine who first got me rando-curious broke two VO crank arms (snapped arm above the pedal) pretty deep into two seperate brevets, which left him DNF pretty far from home. These are the only two instances I've personally heard of them breaking, and that was about 3 years ago. He
