Chris,
I like the way you chose your favorite aspects of different Riv's as is it
really possible to just pick one? I don't think I can as I haven't ridden
them all. But if I were to pick a few from images I've seen here is my list.
1.
I think the heading says it all. I've been getting impatient with Acorn
waiting on them to finish a batch of Ranger tan stuff. So if anyone has one
they don't want anymore? I'm thinking a little worn will add character like
buying faded jeans with out all the effort.

Hi John,
And welcome to a fantastic group. Your Bikes are awesome and I'm sure
you'll have many great rides. I too am planning on a Betty primarily for my

Hey Folks,
First can a bike with 27 wheels (630mm) be converted to 700c ( 622mm)
essentially 8mm difference smaller wheel diameter. What would be the best
Canti breaks to use? And can a 27 wheel be converted to a 650B? There is a
46mm difference between 27 to 650B which seems too large a jump
is more involved. It may be doable, but you'll need to
measure more things and relocate your canti bosses.
Good luck!
