Re: [RBW] Clem Smith Jr. = N+Zero

2021-05-06 Thread Pam Bikes 
Congrats on the bike!  Great set up.  You will need more gearing and a rack 
someday b/c you are going to love it so much you'll want to ride it 
everywhere.  Rivs ride so well.  Start saving up for the fenders, rack, 
front derailleur and another chainring.  I started out riding my Betty 
about 3000 miles a year then somehow kept riding and now ride it twice as 
much every year - sometimes more.  I'm N+zero too.  My Betty is so great!

Really nice!  I have pretty much the same bike, very similar setup.  The 
stoker nubs look useful.  I use that hand position most of the time, at the 
top of that bend in the bars.
