I had the pleasure of picking a 5.3 frame from Mike a month or so ago. Almost done with the build and will report back on the ride. I know the wheelbase isn't has long as most Riv bikes. Mike doesn't recommend the bike for extending touring over 1.5/2 weeks .It is a no nonsense bike though and everything has a purpose FD cable stop with barrel adjuster (pulley as well so you can Top or Bottom Pull) Rear Canti Stop (Nice to have but obviously not needed with V brakes) All cables run on the top tube (Cleanest looking IMO and easy to service) Welds are super clean!
