Well, your bike looks very rugged, practical and handsomeand it's way cheaper and kinder to the earth than driving. Sounds like you have a good place to store it, so...sounds like a win/win all the way around. Many more happy and safe commuting milescheers...Ryan On Sunday, May 18, 2014

Great post, cool build. I'm glad the commuting on a Riv has been so satisfying. Those ergon grips have been intriguing me for a while. I recently put some hi mileage on my albatross bars and ended up with some left forearm and hand numbness. Those might be worth checking out! -- You
