Get the Platy if it's your favorite. Any Riv can be ridden anywhere. The limiting factor to me is tire size -- is 50mm enough for what you want? If not, wait for Susie. happy trails! jim mather walnut creek On Saturday, February 24, 2024 at 8:51:21 AM UTC-8 Gregger wrote: > Long time listener,

The riding you're describing says Susie but - as you say - the Clem L will handle most of it. I don't need lugs either and I love my L (haven't ridden it on trails yet but will), I think this is the way unless you're super into the looks/color of Susie. Also Clem L means cheaper and no waiting!

Based on what you have described I would continue to ride your Krampus as you wait for the Susie's to become available. My past Riv's that I have personally owned have been an Appaloosa and a Clem H. Those bikes are no longer in my stable. Between the two I enjoyed riding the Appaloosa off roa

What am I missing? Aren’t the Susie’s available right now? I mean, I know they are not here yet but at least they have not sold out. Sent from my iPhoneOn Feb 24, 2024, at 9:12 PM, Tim Bantham wrote:Based on what you have described I would continue to ride your Krampus as you wait for the Susie's

You can still get an orange 51cm Gus frame from Riv. On Saturday, February 24, 2024 at 6:19:56 PM UTC-8 rmro...@gmail.com wrote: > What am I missing? Aren’t the Susie’s available right now? I mean, I know > they are not here yet but at least they have not sold out. > Sent from my iPhone > > On

@Tim and Richard, The lugged Susies' are scheduled to come out next month, March as per the schedule goes. The pre-sale went live on February 8, 2024. It appears that none of them are SOLD OUT between the frame sizes and colors. https://www.rivbike.com/products/frame-lugged-susie-w-longbolts-w
