I love your story about Byron! I was wanting a Platypus, but they were all gone in my size at the time. Of course now they have some! But I’ve also grown fond of the 700c-sized wheels on my Torino and may not want to go down to 650. Maybe Riv will dream up something similar with 700c wheels in

Hi Ryan:I share your inclinations on RBW designs. My 1st Riv was a Rambouillet in 2006. The Ram was conceived of as a successor to the Long Low and mine continues to be a great riding bike.  I next got a Saluki but decided it really wasn’t for me and re-sold it. My 3rd Riv was a Road prototype and
