[RBW] All Rounder, early on on eBay

Perhaps outed already, but there is a poorly photographed, but very nice early Riv All Rounder on ebay with about 6 hours to go at $850. I've got one, it's awesome, clearance for 2.0 x 26" tires at least, a great gravel, bike packing bike with nimble handling. This one comes with racks, bags

My first reaction was I SHOULD BUY THAT, then I remembered I have a custom and a Susie and this purchase would be silly. My next reaction was "that's a nice vintage Riv", which reminds me I've been following this company ever since 1994 and am now old enough that there is such a thing as vintage

For an off road bike, I have to disagree. I've ridden ss (settled on ~64"), fixed (63" -- horrible, not on the uphills or flats, but downhill and with the wind), and of course derailleurs.

Great looking bike, Marty! Simplicity is a beautiful thing. Enjoy! Ha, James! The beauty of single speed comes alive on the downhills vs fixed when there is not spin limit, just coast; on the flats and uphills vs cassette in the utter simplicity of the gear is always right (yeah, I've heard it

I'm certainly no pricing expert, but that looks to me like a very good deal, given first the cost of current Rivs and, second, the high prices XO-1s command in the used market. IMO, this is a much better bike than an XO-1, nice as those are. On Sat, Nov 23, 2019 at 6:29 PM Steven Sweedler wrote:

Yes, that was the idea. Grant banged the drum quite loud about the death of the basic steel sport tourer, which was all but gone by the time Bstone bailed and Riv started. It's a minor miracle they survived the Lance-ification of street bicycles in the late-'90s/early-'00s, but here we are. --
