I've been a Rivvy sorta guy for the last ten years, owning several of their bikes and numerous others built up in Riv-inspired ways. Recently I've been reading through back issues of Bicycle Quarterly, and back posts on Jan Heine's blog. It's got me wondering about this whole alternate-universe practical bike thing he describes, which seems to be characterized by low trail steering geometry, flexible frames, and carrying loads up front.
I'd love to try it, but such bikes aren't exactly common. Does anyone have experience with both Rivvy (mid-trail, burly rigid frame, carrying stuff all over) and the more French rando / Jan sort of bike? What did you think of each?
