Who's got it? I've seen beautiful lightweight lugged road bikes with super light modern components, but they usually are not Rivs. Has anyone gone full out shaving grams off a Roadeo, Roadini, or older Riv model?
I know we're not weight weenies here, I'm certainly not. I did get the itch after building up my Roadini to make it even lighter (and faster?). However, the reason I love Rivs is that they are IMO the best blend of aesthetic beauty, reliable, durable, (fast seems to come last which is fine). My build was a tightly budgeted mix of parts bin, eBay NOS, and new parts. Would I try carbon wheels on it? Yes! Would I spend a bunch of money? No. It does seem like in the last decade, the gravel itch has spread, and there could be some high end road bike parts floating around for low prices. I'm just brainstorming about what my winter project will be. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
