I have indeed found the bike I love. The rear Platrack with SlickerSack seems so obvious as a practical way to haul stuff that I'm a little surprised it wasn't at least part of the marketing. If it has some fatal flaw then I've yet to discover it on my initial ride. It works beautifully. I

Not very different, really. Having different rack arrangements is likely the biggest difference i'll have between them at any given time. Redundancy is a major goal. However, the setup for each bike is fluid in some sense; I have 5 cockpits that work on either. Albatross (one Thumbie, one

Super great-looking bike with all the Rivish goodies! I like the blue twine, which I presume is not shellacked. I never thought of colored twine before. I really like the orange paint scheme with blue accents. I'm sure you'll enjoy riding this for a long time. Steve On Jun 19, 6:53 pm, John

Hey Jason, congrats on the new bike and welcome to the club. Your bike looks great. And yeah, baskets are great. I think I'll eventually be adding a similar front rack and basket to my commuter (Surly CC). On Sep 14, 8:54 pm, jason jasonaschwa...@gmail.com wrote: hi everyone.. i received my
