A word about "pre-sale lottery", it's the same as if they quietly put the frames on the site and took orders until they sold out. This way everybody knows when to order instead of just checking a website and hoping they're there. I don't understand the verklemptitude here. On Thursday, July 14

Part of the Riv association with long-reach calipers (my opinion) is Grant had them made back in the days when road bikes were closely associated with calipers and he wanted more room for big tires. We don't think anything of it now but at the time if your bike had canti posts it was a tourer or
