If you regularly use 2 or 3 bottles it eliminates the Cheviot to me. Yes, you carry water in a bag, but then you're taking up finite bag space with something that ought to be stored on the frame. People buy bags to carry other things, not water. One bottle mount was expected in the 70's but it's 2016. Adding bottle mounts after the fact is for hackers. I've never heard anyone say "Hey I just bought a $1300 frame and it only has one bottle mount, how minimalistic cool is that !". Ahahahahahaha. I'm sure Riv has a reason for just one but regardless it will never make sense to make a bike these days with only 1 mount, especially since it's advertised as being tour capable. It ought to at least have a second under the DT.
That's a good ol' rant for don't skimp on the basic necessities. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
