Apparently the fillets cost more to do, the Gus/Susie are already $250 more
than the lugged frames and were going to go higher if they did another run.
These are great frames, if money/opportunity ever lines up for me I'm going

You are correct sir. I had my custom built to be kind of light/flexy for

It's possible the OP feels that the lower/forward position will give him
more grip up front. I like (and with my arthritis, need) a super-upright
position, but there's no doubt all that distance from the front contact
patch can feel a little skittish sometimes. Especially in the wet!

I've only owned/ridden a Susie so my only input is I'm fairly certain it
has a shallower headtube angle than Platypus, this might account for a

My inclination fron your parts options is to try the 3x RapidFire on the
front (it may work with that derailer) and buy an 8-speed RapidFire for
your Altus rear derailer and an 8-speed cassette. But it would help a lot
to know what system she's used to.

I have one Riv that already does all this, but I'm cheating the premise of
the thread cuz it's a custom I had built for the purpose. So I'll shift my
answer to: What if I didn't have a car and part of the ride to go shopping

Hi Scott,
These were actually introduced with Shimano's second run at RapidRise so
you have the right idea combining the two: the idea is Dual Control is you
could nudge the lever up or down on either side and get the same higher or
lower gears. My rather vague recollection is the paddle was
hit it on the head, Joe. Thanks for the thread. With all of your

in a turn it goes where you point it and holds the line until you change
it. It does this when getting bumped offline, too..the darn thing pops

not-all-that-mini it was. I'm not convinced a 20-inch-wheel Riv with long
stays and a long toptube is going to be notably more compact than one with
26 or 27.5. Now if he wanted to do it with separators to break it in half
like a Moulton, I'm in!

I'm not stressed about supposedly off-topic bikes - I find most bikes to be
interesting in at least one way - but the 'no prices' thing really grinds
my gears. I don't want to guess at a number and compete with other
guessers, just tell me what you need to let it go.

The hiccup will be rear spacing for the hub, it's 135 OLD on those Rivs,
RBs used 126 or 130 hubs.

Jacob,
I like em, too, and wish I'd kept my Susie for these crazy-choppy roads I
ended up moving to less than a year after selling it. I really liked that
huge floaty tire thing, plus the fillet welds are very pretty. If I ever
find a Gus (or another Susie) in my size at a time when I can

The Platy is probably the more logical choice for what you describe but
either will be great and I think you want a Gus. Find one, buy it!
