Hello Riv Bunch, My first Riv was a 2TT Sam Hilborne that I purchased in 2017. I had an Appaloosa that I sold just over a year ago. I've regretted selling my Joe ever since. I even saw my old 2TT silver Appaloosa at this years Nutmeg Nor'Easter. I thought about offering to buy it back but I never did ask the new owner. I doubt he would have sold it back to me anyway. The only consolation is that the new owner told me that he loves the bike and rides it nearly every day.
While at the NNE I saw so many cool Riv's. I was talking to fellow Riv Bunch member Justin Kennedy about his Platypus. My UBU (unresonable bike urge) has been in high gear ever since. I will soon become a proud Man on a Mixte and my 60cm Sergio Green complete will be on the way to me very soon. I'm going to change the bars right away to Billie's and will build a nicer wheelset with a Dyno hub before getting it on the road. I figured if Leah can own 3 Platypus's its got to be a good bike! I'm exciting for it's arrival and can't wait to ride it. The second inbound Riv is a A. Homer Hilsen frameset. I'm going to build the Homer up as a drop bar road bike keeping it rackless and light as possible. I am thinking about building it as a retro mod with downtube shifter and some older parts. I still need to decide on that. Anyway I thought I'd share the exciting news with fellow bike nerds. The Sam, Platy and AHH will give me a nice collection. I am feeling very fortunate to be able to add two new bikes to my collection. N+2! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
