It appears you've listed the Atlantis on eBay for $2000 obo -- is there a
$400+ Riv-list premium?
In the eBay listing it appears the bike has some parts missing (brakes and
chain at first glance), and something odd is going on with the front
deraiiluer cable. What's the clamp on the top tube?
I bought a sheet of 1/8" closed-cell foam. I cut 3 pieces, a bottom and
top liner, and a band that goes around the inside of the trunksack. While
I glued the band to itself, it all stays in place by friction. It's thin

Hello,
Selling new Grey Sackville Saddlebag. Haven't had a chance to use it. My
basket has been good carrying a lot of weight up front.
Sitting on the shelf. Does $200 shipped sound fair?
Thanks,

I have a black Tara rack and it's great. My Hillborne didn't have the
appropriate braze-on for it but the tubus clamp mounts are bombproof.

Returns are probably a non-starter, but you could probably re-sell with
minimal depreciation.

As many of you Riv-obsessed folks know, one of the most important things

With regards to the geometry of the Clem, particularly the chain stay
length, does anyone anticipate trouble fitting a rear rack on their Clem?
I'm thinking that because of the extra chain stay length, any rear rack
mounting would be a bit more unwieldily, having more sway. Thoughts?

I was wondering that too Wayne. In looking at the most recent photos on the
blug it appears they've added a lower braze-on a couple inches north of the
dropout which I assume would work for a rack stay. This would effectively bring
the rack inboard, accounting for the longer stays.
Not sure
Check with Wayne at The Touring Store:

Wife's clem proto came with a pletscher rack, and I replaced it with a

Now if I could just figure out why the pletscher isn't fitting on my 700c

That's a strange and curious pattern for sure. Curious as I feel that big gap

Funny thing about the Riv specs is that I often can't find them on the new
website, at least, those specs having to do with sizing. Given the
critical importance of sizing, it could be that they want you to call and
