Lovely build! is that an 11 speed cassette? I'm going 1x11 with Shimano
(11-51) cassette and RD.
GREAT NEWS! My Gus arrived yesterday (6-1).
VERY GOOD news! He's getting framesaved before this week-end.
Good news! I'm finally going on that bikepacking trip in Cape Cod that's

Thank you! My boy and I stopped by the shop today in Walnut Creek with the
Gus in tow. Will helped me troubleshoot a slipping seat post and he took
it for a spin around the building. We discussed the build and he asked to
take photos. That was a huge compliment! I love how friendly and
Hey Paul,
I have a Burley D’Lite single kid trailer. For quick release with hooded
dropouts they sell an extension. I have been using thru axle setups with
Robert Axle Project axles and they have worked great! I will report how
this ends up working. Hopefully it works as well as expected!

orange Gus frame I have coming.

Wow, thank you for all the detail Erik! Some beautiful bikes there but
that’s Susie and your new Gus definitely look best to me. I can understand
choosing the Gus at that weight with a load but I am happy to hear it
wasn’t too bad still. I’m 170-180 lbs depending on how much time I can get
Looks and sounds awesome Erik - thanks for letting me live vicariously
while I wait!

Great looking build! Love all the Paul parts. Do you mind if I ask what
your weight is that the Susie didn’t feel quite stout enough?

Friday or Monday. Here it is Wednesday and I am getting anxious! I guess if
it doesn’t get here before we make our move back north, I can swing by and
pick it up on the way. Sure was hoping for a camp ride with it before we
leave but that window is closing in a hurry. Sure hope we hear
If any Gus owners want a black Nitto threadless stem to match that head badge,
I have one for sale! The ad is buried a few months back maybe I’ll bump it up.

OH NO! The OG fork look was one of my favorite parts of the design!
Well, I'll just have to be happy w/ what's available and JUST RIDE!
Can't wait to get Gus in hand and build it up.

Yeah, it's growing on me w/ the black. I went w/ mostly silver (black RD,
cassette, chainring). An all black component build would definitely be
great!

All the colors look amazing! I wonder if the GBWs will come with black
headsets and the Susies silver? I’m hoping it’s a Blue Lug thing and they
come silver through Riv.

The musical instrument decals were originally on the top tube and non-drive
side chain stays. Now the decals are on the drive side chain stays which a
lot of riders wrap with cloth tape. You got to like the dark gold color and
the Breezer style dropouts. Oh ya, and the dobro guitar decal.
The differences I can spot:
-The top tube decal has moved to the chain stay.
-The rear dropout is the new one that first appeared on on the Platypus,
replacing the old one that had the ugly tube squish connection. There is a
slight change to seat stay braze-ons positions probably due to this
That is a good effort with the colour balance. Looks pretty spot on.

Looks like the instrument decals on the top tube are missing. Just
wondering if the new frames are going to be that way? I just purchased a XL
lime/green Wolbis frameset today- that's one big Hillibike!

I did see the Sam frame that was just listed in the gold color my Susie

I think the Cliffhanger is about the only option for these things. I have a
set of Teravail Ehline 2.5” mounted to mine ready to add tubeless sealant.
Just a note, bot front and rear held air for over a week before starting to
lose pressure without sealant. Very good sign I’d say.
I believe I
What about rim/tires?
For rims it'll be Velocity Cliffhangers. For rubber it's either Schwalbe
Johnny Watts or Surly Extra Terrestrials as options.
Here's hoping for an email update today...

The Hive mind here is real. I was thinking the T-rack would be perfect on
the Susie since it isn't supposed to carry much weight. I thought a t-rack
on the front fork (the strongest part) would be the safest way to have a
basket and some manythings cages for a lightweight/overnighter/explore
I do plan to do some touring with mine. That's the primary reason I sold
my Susie and purchased the Gus. I'm near the recommended weight borderline
on the Susie and wanted to be able to add as much weight as I wanted. I
have a full complement of bags and racks. The plan is to run the

as a new boost rear. They are a great rack. I just loaned mine to my cousin
for the Colorado trail this summer or I’d be using it. Still might

Yep, my Gus will be a commuter/grocery-getter/bikepacker ride -the guS-UV.
I'm planning on Tumbleweed racks for it. The TW racks are designed around
modern wider hubs/frames, but I think it'll squeeze in OK to mount on a

Just to add to your excitement, I have a Gus demo purchased complete from
Riv from the first round and I love it. In my garage, it looks so huge and
stout that it can lead me to doubt its role in my life. But then I ride it
and it is such a fun bike to ride. It is surprisingly comfortable and
Nice build! Can you tell me which racks you have on there please?

Very excited to see these builds come together! I was also hoping for an
update just to know they got to port at least. But I guess we should have
an update by the end of he week, maybe… I’m moving in 5 weeks and I was
hoping to get a nice couple night camp trip in with it before then! Getting
That's one of the bars I picked up as a possibility for the Gus. I have
the shifters and levers on it and installed it on the Paul Boxcar stem I
picked up. It's a really beautiful bar. But I'll have to wait and see
which bar wins out.

I had a thread about handlebar choice a few months ago, then Rivendell
without any fanfare slipped a new Nitto bar into their lineup which
basically filled all of my criteria. The new Bull bar seems to have gone
under the radar, (it didn't immediately sell out) and is going to be
perfect for
I too am pumped for these to arrive! I'm hoping we get a newsletter email
today from Will that confirms their arrival at port by yesterdays estimated
date. That will then only be topped by Riv's first shared photo of the
actual frames - talk about a sight for sore eyes :) This XL orange Gus
I had a complete build for my new Gus from a Susie that I sold in December.
The plan had been to simply buy a new stem but leave everything else as
is: WI/Cliffhanger wheel set from Rich, WI 1x cranks, Tumbleweed Persuader
bars, Paul Motolite brakes and levers, etc. But because I've had so
Sounds like you might have too many choices when the time comes to assemble
it! I picked up a tallux stem but then the new faceplate stems came out so
I grabbed one of those. Still only have a Bosco to try out so far. I just
went a bit crazy And got some White Industries cranks to match my Rich
I have had too long to think about my build. I now have 3 handlebars and 2
stems to choose from. Like, four? colours of brake cable and 7 colours of
bar tape and I'm going crazy right here.
