Thanks for the time, Johnny, and I appreciate the kind words. I do have a few more videos in the queue, Rivs and non-Rivs. On Friday, September 16, 2022 at 11:09:12 AM UTC-4 johnny@gmail.com wrote: > Fun videos, I like the casual pace, which seems to match your vibe > perfectly. A trick

Fun videos, I like the casual pace, which seems to match your vibe perfectly. A trick I learned for applying grease to the stem and seat-post... and this is free advice so you get a 100% refund if it doesn't work for you. Apply the grease to the head tube and seat tube, not the seatpost or

Loved it and stoked to see a mention on the Radavist. Congrats! On Monday, September 5, 2022 at 10:59:52 AM UTC-7 Joe Bernard wrote: > "I love that bike, Joe! Let me know if you do go for a stem swap and how > it works out. Is that the Periscopa I sold you a while back?" > > Thanks Eric! No

"I love that bike, Joe! Let me know if you do go for a stem swap and how it works out. Is that the Periscopa I sold you a while back?" Thanks Eric! No that's an MT10 DirtDrop I got from Riv, it's a bit taller than the Periscopa. Which I may have to stick with a while, I discovered last night

Nice work, Eric -- that's a nice build. Loved the video! Totally envious of your workspace, too! Bob E Cranford, NJ On Monday, September 5, 2022 at 11:40:01 AM UTC-4 eric...@gmail.com wrote: > Hey, thanks Stephen, I appreciate the kind feedback! > > Definitely check out the Suntour shifters.

Hey, thanks Stephen, I appreciate the kind feedback! Definitely check out the Suntour shifters. I actually don't like the Oury grips that much and I'm planning to go back to the felted wool grips wrapped with Newbaum's. And I'm going to wrap the area ahead of the levers, too. Pretty much the

Hey Eric, Enjoyed the video, as well as your others! I appreciated the top down comparison of the billies to the ortho's, didn't realize the ortho's came back so far. In fact, seeing them from that angle they look so similar to the Tosco bar shape. Also the suntour power thumb shifters look

Eric, oh, the bar end shifters. Yes, I had them on my Betty Foy with Bosco Bars and I wore the mark of them on my thighs many times. I had one particularly tight corner near the school that would earn me a decent jab at least weekly. The Betty was my first Rivbike and I didn’t realize I could

Thanks so much, Leah! I have a couple of other Riv build videos you might like if you haven't seen them, check out my channel. I had to go really, really far outside of my insurance network just to get a referral for Dr. Ron. Healthcare, I tell ya. I love the Billie bars, they're great.

He used a sliding bevel to mock up the rack struts. I didn't even know that was a thing! Dr. Romance was hilarious, I enjoyed that so much. The Ortho Bar is interesting but I think I'll stick with my Billies, too. I don't think bringing my bars further back and wider would work for me, but I

I loved it. A really fun look into the magic (as one who doesn’t work on her bikes, it’s magic to ME) of assembly. What great new upgrades - especially the dyno. How did you get a consult with Ronnie Romance?! I love my Billie Bars and wouldn’t trade them, but Ronnie’s point of view was
