[RBW] Riv Handlebar choices for my Kona Sutra Conversion

I thought I wanted to go back to drop handlebars after owning a few hybrid bikes. I bought a Kona Sutra which I really like but I have come to the realization that I don't like drop handle bars because of the straight arms and the weight on my wrists. I raised them up 2" with a stem extender an

Re: [RBW] Re: long wheelbase, Hillibikes + tray racks

Now that I have my Gus frame in-hand, I can confirm that the wheelbase of the Medium (54cm) frame is 50". Kuat's specs for my rack, the NV 2.0, says it will carry bikes with wheelbases up to 50" with the front wheel cradles in the "down" position... so fingers crossed that spec is correct in pr

This color is incredible! Nice build. I just received a NOS Gus from the previous batch (mine is Riv blue), and I'm kinda curious as to why the little instrument graphics were moved to the chainstays - particularly the driveside stays - since folks routinely wrap the stay to protect the paint f

Interesting, Joe. Looks like most All-rounders did not use the “custom” head tube lugs, but at least a few did. Wasn’t the Frank Jones Sr advertised as the only production bike to use those? How often did this happen? How would one tell an all-rounder apart from a custom? Best, Aaron in El

I'm guessing all those heavy containers filled with liquid (presumably) concentrated in that one central area of the frame created a lot of flex and stress compared to all the weight up front and on the rear. I bet that thing was flexing like crazy with every pedal stroke. I tried to find it, b

Hi folks, I barely post in this group, so feel a little awkward about asking for help from the community, but here goes... I am hoping someone in the Sacramento area can help facilitate the purchase of a Hunqapillar fork that's for sale there. The seller is shy to ship, and I live in Portland,

Re: [RBW] Susie's Limits

I see three 64oz bottles and what appears to be a 36 or 40oz bottle. So, if they were full of liquid, and accounting for the weight of the bottles themselves, you're looking at approx. 20 lbs. just in that area of the bike alone. I'm no engineer, but that seems like a lot of excess weight to me

Probably too late now, but it seems like this is something that could be a legit warranty claim. I can't see a use mode breaking the down tube around the middle like that, and it's suspicious it happened right around the water bottle boss. It's great Tim is going with the flow. I'd be frustrated i
