Menos welcome to the group. theres a lot of good information and a lot of cool set ups to drool over. also you get to read leah's ride reports. its the words version of what it actually feels like to ride a riv. if you're looking for a purple platty. Blue heron in berkley off gilman has a purple 55. im guessing you have to be somewhat close if you made the trek out to Riv HQ. i was going to take my wife in to test ride it but im sure she could be swayed to get a clem. cheers and welcome!
