Leah -
For you Clem you might be able to lower your stem a few inches to try to
fit it to your new preference.
Btw, were any of your bikes fit and set up by Analog Cycles? Just curious
if this is the ‘enlightened fit’ style.

@Leah - Have you tried taking the Clem out on gravel rides, as-is? I've
also got a Clem and Platy, so I'm curious to hear how you experience them
differently on the same trails.

Nice, yeah I also like the idea of putting the bar end shifter cable
housing under the ESI grips. I set up mine outside the grips and it was
just annoying to feel there. It was so annoying that I didn't even think it
would help if I used twine to tie it down.

For a few months now, I've been using the 13-42 on my Clem with the stock
38/24 chain rings. I've rarely switched to the 24, so if I were setting it
up again, I'd be comfortable using it as a 1x.
90% of my use is hauling kids over small hills in SF, and a bit of trail
riding.
I'd say it

Those are some great bikes, I wish I could help slim down the herd, but my
frame size is smaller. Is there a story for how you ended up with so many
2022 bikes?

Laing is right that the latest Clem L has a much longer top tube than the
Clementine, but it's not 4.5 inches longer.
Max - Bosco bars are a great for getting more space for you and the baby.
Sizing up on a Clem for me has worked great to get space for my knees with
the baby up front too.

Wow, the Kiu seems like a great design for a much better price ($50 on sale
now) with a reflective bright yellow too. Can you tell me what it has in
the inside? Does it have hand/handlebar loops or a waist strap?
Thanks.

@Luke - Right now I use a Cleverhood because I already have it. I probably

I'm a huge fan of ponchos (with fenders) and riding in the rain in general!

anyway. The few times I did wear rain pants and jacket, I got soaked
It’d be cool to see photos or videos of someone riding the bike. I’m
curious about how the handlebars can be comfy at that angle!

Yeah, I just laced up my first wheel yesterday using the Jim Langley video

like how to hold spokes and nipples to make it smoother and using a spare

I'll see how things go
Hi All,
I was just chatting with Rich Lesnik and he recommended a wheel building
book/pamphlet from the Missing Link (sad hearing that shop is closing, btw).
I was wondering if anyone had a copy I could buy or know if there are scans
of it somewhere.
Thanks!

Yeah, I totally agree that the bikes have been categorized different ways
over the years. I quickly threw the spreadsheet together and thought I was
using the categories on the current rivbike.com - 'Roadish' , 'Touring &

@Jason - this is really cool! I did a search and came across this because I
was thinking about doing something very similar but also including when the
models were discontinued and any lineage type relationships:
Atlantis <-> Appaloosa
Glorius/Wilbury -> Betty Foy/Yves Gomez -> Cheviot ->
This never made it to be an official model, but I would love to have the
Riv Kids bike back.

That's pretty cool to hear that the Rosco Bebe rides great even without the
front load. I was looking at them back in the day too and thought I read
that they were expected to feel weird without that load.

To follow up on Minh's questions - I also commute in SF, and I like to take
my bags off my bike if I lock it outside. So what's worked well for me is a
front rack with a Wald basket with a bag that sits inside.
Here's a sweet bag that's made locally too-

For what it's worth, I've been happy with my Crust 650b wheelset. I've been
commuting on it daily and going on fire roads once in a while for about
400ish miles? This is on Soma Cazadero 50mm tires set up tubeless.
I did have to bust out the spoke key to true the rear wheel already. For

I've noticed that pedaling hard removes pressure from the hands and saddle.
So on some bike setups with low handlebars, if I'm coasting, I can feel
like I'm sliding forward on my saddle
