Stephen, nice write up on the Charlie and congrats on the 1500 miles on it. I had the opportunity to ride it last Saturday and it is indeed a sweet ride and looks great. It was also cool to see the new derailer.I hope to order one later in the year. We have a core group of 5 Riv guys now in the Dallas, TX area ( Luis, two Jim's, lets say Jim of the 3 Rivs and Jim of the one Riv to tell them apart and me) with Stephen being the new guy joining us about 6 months ago when he bought his Charlie Gallop. I might add Stephen is also the youngest of the group and most likely has to slow his pace when he rides with us older guys. It's great fun to meet up and ride together. I forget, Stephen, if you've told the story on listof how we all got connected. After seeing a picture of one of the Jim of the 3 Rivs bikes online, was it on Reddit, he reached out inquiring about the pictured Riv he saw. Jim of the 3 Rivs responded to Stephen and what was it, within 3 or 4 days Stephen had test ridden 5 of our Rivs I think it was. Correct me Stephen if I got any of that account inaccurate. Before we knew it Stephen had placed his order for a Charlie and shortly after receiving it all 5 of us were able to ride together. We've all ridden together several times now and hopefully in 2026 more group rides are to come. Safe riding to all in 2026, Paul Cunningham in Dallas, TX
