Wow, that trail looks super fun to ride. Any idea where it is? Also, what kind of handlebars are those—looks like a bullmoose but I'm kind of a noob still when it comes to knowing bike things (or any things, really). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "

Welcome to the forum! I do have a lot of opinions on any topic; most of the time I’m wise enough to keep them to myself, but ahma take a flyer on this one: 1. There was a poster (“Jay in Tel Aviv”) awhile back who owned a Riv, so perhaps you can search through the archives and connect with th
