Thanks everyone. David, that Triple Cross looks very sharp. I'm actually helping a good friend build up his new Homer Hilsen next weekend. It'll be fun seeing and working on one. Tom, I also was surprised how well and how spritely / lively it rides for a touring bike and

Looks great! I didn’t know those had such good clearances. Was it originally a 27” wheel design? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an email to

A good Sunday morning to all. I had a Riv but I do not have one now. I bought one 5 years from their beginning in 1999, a custom road model in a beautiful blue with contrasting white head tube. I didn't know much at all about bike mechanics at the time and after gathering the parts
