Silver hubs with Large Flanges with radiused cutout (what Riv called Phil Woood Eisenhower hubs) in a rear with free hub (no freewheel) would be nice. My 70's Shimano 333's hubs are beautiful with the large flanges and cutouts (1975 Schwinn Voyageur II). VO seems to have good

If you look for pictures from the Riv garage sale you'll find them. I think the concept of a gruppo would be cool. However to keep in line with the ethos of the company one must wonder where and how they'd be made. So many companies that create or design things get torn down around these and

It's not a deep rooted love of patchwork parts that's stopping SILVER (of course)--although I have to admit that I personally have a DRL of them. But from RIV's perspective, I'd love to have a group. Here's what's stopping it. 1. Derailers.If it's not an original design(to some

A Silver Groupo would certainly have some appeal and some hurtles. As Grant points out, deraillers would be one. I think a collaboration with IRD or Cane Creek could overcome that hurdle. Something between branding and reinventing the wheel. White Industries makes a fabulous silver crank

I'm a big fan of RR or 'low normal' RDs. If they made one with big jockey wheels it would be fairly unique I would think. On Thursday, July 3, 2014 5:15:35 PM UTC-4, Michael Hechmer wrote: I would like to add that, although I am not a big Shimano fan, the RD 6700 is a fabulous derailler.
