This post seems to be sticking around. So I might as well add to it...back
in 2010...maybe 2009 whatever...I was hit pretty hard by the "Great
Recession" and at Christmas time things were really tight. So it was just
a kids kind of deal. I had always admired/loved Riv but could never afford
Denatured alcohol works a wonder.

I'll probably just end up riding it all year. My problem really is pure and
utter laziness. I can't remember the last time I cleaned any of my bikes. I
figure it'll probably rain soon-it always does. That's cleaning. And in the
winter I'm even less likely to bother.

I'm going to start. At least I say I am. It's awful I really have zero
excuses-I happen to work in the industry and have access to the best mechanic
and a whole shop yet my bikes always take the very backseat as long as there is
air in the tires I figure I'm good. I'm the worst kind of bike
Regarding the synergies- tires are a pain to seat-all of them it seems.
I hope there is a better selection of 650b studded tires this year- I'd love a
marathon winter in a 42 that would be perfect. I'll probably just end up riding
it all winter and deal w the salt and drivetrain stuff as it
Haha! I've had mine a month now. Have ridden it every single day now. I feel
the exact way it's as good as it gets. I wish I could have 2 one for winter w
studded tires and one for summer!

Rene, tough choice and bummer. Your bikes are stunners-guess the best thing
about that is however you proceed you still have two really awesome bikes.
I will say I've bought and sold many a bikes-like a lot of us have- and the
only two I have ever regretted selling were an Atlantis and a
iPhone won't let me pm. Or at least I don't know how. Pretty sure I have some
spares. If I can find them you can just have them. I could mail them Tuesday. I
bet a local lbs might have a few extras as well. Mine always seems to at least.

Thought I would just ask here before I go on a spending spree. What's the
absolute biggest tire it will take? Currently have 41's that are more like
37's. Tektro brakes-- Synergy rims...normal stuff--by the looks of it I
think I could go quite a bit fatter. Thanks in advance for the info.
Good to hear. I'm after the big bens. Looks like they'll fit. I have hertres

What did I do?
I went to put my the rack on my Atlantis. Well I wasn't paying attention and
tightened thebolt to replace the brake studs I tightened and realized and
loosened and corrected. Well now the brake has zero spring tension and I could
barely get the damn thing off the brake stud.
That's what I thought I checked twice. It's like all o the sudden the brake is
too small for the post it won't pivot and I have enough grease on there to last
a lifetime!
