Re: [RBW] Re: Has a product review or comment system on the Riv site ever been considered?

[Forrest Harvey]

I would say to Riv's business model that they strive on carrying 1-2
variations of an item and they pick those because they think they are the
best.  Sort of eliminates the need for a star system.

HOWEVER! Having review/comment space about ride quality, or a place for
people to post their builds would be cool as it really speaks to showing
off the flexibility each model has!

stem and a pair of the albastache.
This is mated to a nitto 65 but I may need to switch to a 0 setback
seatpost as I still feel a little stretched for ALL hand positions.

Re: [RBW] Re: Wednesday Musings: Are We A Swap Meet?

[Forrest Harvey]

As someone who is new (but has been a non subscribed looker :) ) I
appreciate both the FS and NON FS posts.
What is nice about the FS posts on here vs. places like craigslist/bay, is
that I trust the seller a lot more and the pricers are far more fair.  I
would much rather support someone who appreciates bikes vs. someone who
flips something for a high dollar because it says nitto.

I also enjoy reading all of the conversation threads, lots of knowledgeable
people on here and it's great to learn!

Re: [RBW] Re: Canti Sam vs BMC monstercross

[Forrest Harvey]

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!

*Build*
Chris King HS
XTR 9 speed FD
XTR 9 speed rapid rise RD (not positive this is going to work)
DA 9 speed bar end shifters
Tektro Brake levers
Nitto Albastache bars
Velo Orange 90mm stem 18* rise
Nitto seatpost
Paul Mini moto's
White Industries G30 crankset with a wide low set up (44/24)
Atlas Rims to WI MI5 Hubs with Firecross tires
King Water cages (the bike has mounts for 3 bottles which is nice!)

[RBW] Re: Sim Works Getaround Bar clamp diameter?

[Forrest Harvey]

The coating is both a gift and a curse. 
Provides a nice finish/doesn't wear very nicely!
