Funny. Actually, they have a very different feel despite having the same TT length. The Ram is a 52 with lower BB and longer HT, different rake and trail than the Saluki. The Saluki is a 50 with a shallower frame, and handles front weight loads better. Mine has fatter tires and easier gearing. I

I have the same 52cm Pewter Saluki... the canti version! This is my first Riv, my first 650b bike and my first post here. Just picked her up not long ago. I have most of the parts ready to go, mostly used from here and there, and am waiting to find wheels. I'll post photos when I'm done, but

That's a nice preview of the frame headed my way. Mine is canti, too. It will get a pretty standard Riv build left over from a slightly-too-big Hilsen I sold to Peter M. The one oddity among the parts is a mid-'90s CNC era Precision Billet ProShift rear derailer. I haven't decided on bars

You can buy one now Jim. now, except they call it A Homer Hilsen. They might even decal it with Saluki if you inquired. I have a 2 day MS 150 this weekend in MS, and took all 3 of my rivs for a neighborhood spin last night, trying to decide which one, which one? The Ram got the nod, but the

Speculation as to Ram: Road course therefore suitable for narrower tires; supported ride (rest stops?) therefore no need to carry a lot. On Friday, October 5, 2012 5:50:45 PM UTC-4, lungimsam wrote: The Ram got the nod, Why the Ram over the Saluki? -- You received this message

A careful statistical analysis reveals that the Ram and the Saluki have a functional overlap of roughly 98.5935%, which is pretty similar, but a person has to come to a decision. Often there's little or no science to it. On my north woods excursion last week, I had to decide which of my 4
