I bought a Clem L 59 Frameset and all the parts for it, only problem is I don't have a space or the tools or the knowledge to set it up. Hoping someone on here who has set up rivs before could potentially help me. Thanks, Gabe. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the

I suppose me saying "thinks you like" was too ambiguous. I meant to say you'd have a conversation and based on it Grant would make the call. We're talking about the same thing here. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To

Correct. The whole point of getting a custom Riv is Grant can decide dimensions and tubing weight based on your size and riding style. So, for instance, if you can get away with a thinner-tubed San Marcos, he'll have Nobilette build it and Joe Bell paint it. All it takes is time and money! --

Update! Thanks to everyone for the replies! This garnered more responses than I expected, and the discussion was extremely helpful. I've decided to go in a non-rivish direction for this bike. I think at my weight, and with the riding I want to do, a lightweight tubing with low trail is more

Igor - that’s not even remotely true. If you explain to him what you want and how you want it he’ll either say yes or no. Look to recent Legolas and Roadeos as examples. GP clearly edges towards stouter than not but has designed some lighter bikes as well. I mean you’d just sell the custom

[RBW] Custom Soma San Marco ?

I've been thinking about ordering a Riv custom. I love my Soma San Marcos. The San Marco is by far the best fitting, best handling bike I've ever ridden...but it's pretty stiff vertically. (I was 220 pounds when I first got it some 4 years ago, and now weight 180, so that stiffness is

I’ve been tempted to try the basket bag from Wald. Doesn’t look fancy but like their baskets, I’m sure it does the job. I currently just stuff things in and secure with a net which works but sometimes I think a bag would be nice. At around $35 it’s a pretty low risk trial. Darin -- You

I'll suggest the Acorn Basket Tote in case you're unfamiliar with it: https://www.acornbags.com/products/basket-tote It doesn't have outside storage compartments, but I think it meets your other criteria (depending on how "generous" you want the volume to be) and it's made of canvas by the

I’m 185+ pounds, and I’ve taken my canti Sam on some short mixed-road tours pretty well loaded up and have had no problems whatsoever. It ends up a bit “noodly,” perhaps, but not beyond what I can get used to. It is a ton of fun to ride unloaded, too, and it fits 47/48 mm tires nicely. You
