The one thing Rivs are, they are usually versatile and can be set up many

That's what I think. If a custom MUSA frame can be had for not a lot more
than what a production frame costs, eventually people will choose to go
custom, choose to purchase overseas produced frames, or go a different

Well, the Krampus is a 29+ bike that is going to sit around 30lbs, so yeah,
it will be heavy. The one I rode was fun though...I think the geometry of

I went with the Dyad 36 hole rim and Phil "Rivy" freewheel hub when I had
wheels built for my Hillborne. Rich built them and they have been nothing

Well, I did it!
I ordered a Roadeo frameset. 53cm Ram Orange with cream accents, threaded
fork (going to use my Nitto lugged stem). When the custom raffle was going
on, I bought a gift certificate just so I could get entered into the
