On another subject, maybe with this switch to the Far East for
manufacturing, Riv could resurrect the Ram. Just a thought.

I was able to jam my tent (sans poles) into that space on my Clem and it held
fast with some creative use of an Irish strap!
That said, I’d love to know more about bags that’ll fit the space.

Beautiful bike and tempting. Hope someone snaps it up quick. I have a
saluki and a romulus that I think I'd have to get rid of to justify this
one. which just seems like a massive headache. And then the fear of
regret...
Best of luck with the sale. It looks to be in fantastic condition.

With Riv's full dedication on the longer wheel base design, there is now a
significant underutilized space between the seat-tube and the rear wheel
with all sorts of possibilities to jam stuff in there. Has anyone though of
clever items to stuff there and/or the means of attaching them? Riv has

Since, the beginning of summer I've been rocking Chaco sandals, no real foot
retention per se, but they grip real well on a wide/pinned platform pedal .
Most of the guys I know around here also ride Chacos. I prefer them to other
sandals, many of which use Neoprene, which can get sort of

Hey!
I actually just bought one of these (the last one in stock at Analog) and
was planning to return it.
I could cut out some unnecessary shipping if you are interested.
Mine is 90° and clear coat. I can send you pics if necessary.

I'm a size 10 and on moderately on the wide side of feet. Nothing out of
the ordinary, but that 8" platform felt rather nice underfoot, especially
with thin sandals. Thanks for the update Deacon, and keep us posted on how
you like the urban pedals. If the Grip Kings don't work out long term,
Ian. Thank you for the explanation. It sounds like a perfect compliment to the
Joe. I’ll just need to raise bike funds to buy one. Or if anyone wants to trade
a Sam for a Jones, let me know.

Alas, the rearward pedal extender met it's end after less than 6 months.
It stressed enough to break at the right angle bend. I thought about

Yep I love Compass tires. The pictured tires (Challenge Gravel Grinders)

comfort. I rode 700 x 32 Compass tires on my Roadeo most of the time, and

the 38s shown on Tim’s Roadeo.

The chainstays aren't the defining characteristic of Jones geometry! On the
LWB with truss fork the HTA is 67.5 and the fork has 76mm offset. Looks
like short wheel base HTA is 69 and unicrown fork offers 55mm offset. So
you're still getting a long wheelbase that offers stability but more from

Salt, vinegar and beer are great for recovery from almost everything, from a
long ride, to a night on the town to a failed marriage (that last one might
take two beers) :-)

Definitely Niel, I just use Crystal because it’s what I had on hand when I was
rummaging for a recovery snack. Salt, vinegar and a beer really help with
recovery from a long ride.

I believe the complete Jones bikes have chainstays that are 44.5 cm long.
Hopefully Jeff will offer the LWB model as a complete.

Do you think the problem with MUSA frames is just the cost or the ability
of Waterford to produce lugged frames. It could be a combination, high
cost, low demand, less vendor interest to commit resources.
