Paul, 

I'm not sure if you are referring to my photo or not, but if so, it's Lake 
Hefner, which is a lake with a 10 mile long multi-use path around it, right 
in the middle of Oklahoma City.

Re: [RBW] Share More Riv Riding Pics

[RichS]

Hello Paul,

Gorgeous bike and photos to boot. Thank you for the component details as 
well. 

Your description of the CX-70 front derailer touching the chainstay is 
particularly timely. I'm doing a build now where the derailer/chainstay 
kiss each other - or within a whisker or two of that so I've wondered, how 
close is too close? Like you, I have the option of a perfectly functional 
but less attractive shorter cage der but would prefer using the vintage 
(silver of course) longer cage model. From the pictures it would appear the 
CX-70-chainstay marriage is working out well so I have hopes for my combo.

Thanks in advance for your thoughts!

Best,
Rich n ATL

Re: [RBW] Share More Riv Riding Pics

Forgot to mention the cassette spec is 10spd 11-30t, so 11/40 high and 
30/24 low. High enough for me, plenty low for a mostly unloaded sled.

22.3lbs as is, with several spec subs that would get it into the 21lb+ 
range. Could go more modern and down in the 20s, but I like the older 
school look.

And yeah, better to say "...clearance for 30mm tires..." since 32s are 
getting dicey.

I had issues posting the photos, gotta click to view 'em, will see if 
cutting the [img] tags fixes that...

Re: [RBW] Share More Riv Riding Pics

[Paul Brodek]

Old School time, a day late for Throwback Thursday, if that's still a thing.

'98 Riv Custom, built by Joe Starck, back in the day when 
designing/building a short-reach caliper frame with rock-bottom brake shoes 
("Look out, Courageous, it's Rock Bottom!!!") and clearance for 32mm 700c 
tires was a big f'in deal.  If I got this part right, the lugs were 
designed by e-richie for Grant/Bridgestone, were nixed by B'stone Japan 
because they were too complex/expensive, then Grant was able to use them 
after going indy. The seatpost caps look like they're from Waterford, maybe 
a carry-over from early on when Gary Boulanger was managing the W'ford side 
of Riv production frames? I've got them on a couple/few later W'fords, and 
don't recall seeing them anywhere else.   

I think I'm only the 3rd owner, unsure of the mileage, but clearly the two 
previous owners have treated it nicely. I criminally barely put any miles 
on it, but I did recently crash up on it and cause a bunch of organic 
physical body damage, but nothing but small qr-end/pedal-end/bar-end scuffs 
on the bike itself. It's lived a charmed life.

Was trying for a relatively period-correct build, with as much shiny silver 
Dura-Ace as possible, and somehow the med/long-cage D-A rder had to make 
that cut. Which made my preferred 1x build impractical, so I messed around 
with 1x-granny setups till I got this 40x24. Would'vd preferred a 38t, but 
couldn't go lower than 40t on the outer ring, because of chainstay 
clearance. Even with a short-cage CX-70, a 38/39t ring scrapes the top of 
the chainstay before the teeth get close enough to the rings. I tried at 
least one of the mega-short-but-clunky modern Shimano ATB fders, but that 
was sub-optimal. I think that was a midnight oil-burning operation, so I 
can't remember exactly why I gave up, just remember a loud "Feh!" and 
yanking it off. I decided to use a protective chain-drop thingie just to 
make sure I didn't have any drop-off problems hitting the 24t granny. 
Ferget who made it, it was a one-man small Sumguy operation, but they've 
been in production since the '80s, and discontinued for a while now.

The 700c Soma SV SLs on skinny Aerohead rims are about 30mm actual width, 
and already a bit tight. Could probably go a full 32mm but with very tight 
front/rear caliper clearance. Short-reach centerpulls, like GC450s might 
help a bit there, but I wanted to stay D-A on the calipers and avoid the 
extra cabling/etc of centerpulls.

The RD-7701 med-long rder came to me with a stripped cable anchor bolt, and 
the stupid-shallow backside clearance made it pretty impossible to helicoil 
it. I managed to tap it from M5 to M6, and the bigger M6 bolt looks a 
little clunky, but it properly anchors the cable now.

Front end has a proper D-A stem and fairly uncommon and wide Nitto 
B177-48cm Dream Bars. Prolly coulda gone with non-aero D-A brake levers, 
but I usually want 'cross levers for Jersey traffic, so I went aero there. 
Nitto Racing cages 'cause it felt more racey. I kinda mostly/only ride 
Thomson posts, so no D-A there. The Brooks Team Pro is a dark green, though 
that doesn't show well in the pix.

It's a little on the tall/long side for me, 63cm dt c-c, 60.5cm tt, which 
is kinda de rigueur in Riv Land these days but was maybe a little less 
common back then. BB drop is 76mm, chainstays are longish at 44cm and wb is 
104cm, so a crit bike it ain't.  

Pix or it didn't happen, more and higher-res on flickr.

Jason Fuller, that's remarkable that the two roosters and the sheep are taking 
such an interest in your Sam Hillbourne. 

.Do you have something pungent in your rear panniers?
Perhaps they just like orange bikes.I know I do.
Its good to hear your Sam did well under load.

If it was in my Flickr stream, it was my 2015 AWOL, going the eventual way 
of all AWOLs it seems,  cracked at the seat tube/downtube Junction.  That 
is new for me as I usually crack frames at the bottom bracket area.

https://flic.kr/p/2m7HTvL

Since Specialized did not have a replacement frame with same hub spacings, 
etc., of the AWOL, they gave me an entire new Diverge, which is turning out 
to be a pretty fun ride.

I bet we are related in someway.
I will often here older Polish people pronounce my last name that way.
On the other hand, I am Polish and maybe I’ve just been spelling it wrong all

Wow, cool! Could it possibly have been Urbanski? There seems to be a lot of

Thank you very much for the kind words!

[RBW] Share More Riv Riding Pics

[st nick]

Rick, on another note, as memory serves,
 decades ago there was an Urbanowski Photography Studio in the small town of 
West,TX a bit north of Waco, TX .
He had a reputation of being a most excellent photographer.
Looking at your website,  congrats on also being a most excellent photographer 
with the same last name. Wonderful photos on your site!!!
Anyone ever bring in their bike for a professional photo?

The 3.5"rise attractive me to them and I think I have 4 of them now as they 
just work for me. Its my go to handlebar for my style of riding 

That said I recently bought a Jones SG 2.5 aluminum Loop bar which I am really 
liking.

[RBW] Share More Riv Riding Pics

[st nick]

Fred, good to hear from you.
So far I know of Philip, Luis, two Jim's, myself, yourself and Wilson I met a 
couple weeks ago that all have Rivs in the area.
There may be some I'm overlooking or am unaware of. 
And Fran that formerly ran Transit bike shop did have one, a Hunqapillar I 
think.
They sold Rivs there. Hated to see it close.
Are there any shops in Dallas- Ft Worth area that still carry Rivs?
I'm unaware of any.
At a population of 6 million plus and growing it's a shame if there is not.

Some great looking pics and great looking bikes?
Marc, if you see this I like how your blue Hillbourne is set up.
Are those Bosco bars?  The knobs seem like a good idea.

I've run interrupter / cross brake levers on quite a few road bars and like 
them a lot but not an upright bar. 
What do you think of them?

Thanks Patrick.
I also miss Deacon Jones posts and pictures. He certainly has a significant 
skill in capturing stunning pics riding in the Pikes Peak area.

He still has a website I think under Deacon Patrick. A search should pop it up.

Cool pics and historical perspective Philip!

I've ridden up and down Swiss Avenue many times and always enjoy it.

Also your Platypus looks terrific!

Yeah, the heat and humidity. It does get to me also.

A break this week with slightly cooler temps...thank the Lord.
I measured 1.1 inches of rain yesterday and last night.
