Hmmm. Tax and death, both unavoidable it seems!
My Rawland(s) do make an appearance in town on rare occasion. The 650b
version does long distance and the 26r conversion doesn't get out much.
Look for a scrappy orange Rocky Mountain mtb set up single speed with
scrappy fenders for in town duty!
Ian, I could be wrong and would be happy to be corrected, but I think that
C&L receives their Riv frames 'drop-shipped' direct from Taiwan. I vaguely
recall discussing this in a conversation with Julian or Simon. Thus they
sometimes receive their frames at essentially the same time as Riv HQ does

I think you'll find it's less roulette and more based on the stated country
of origin. It the paperwork shows "Taiwan" as the Country of Origin" the
frame will likely attract duty. If it shows a NAFTA country of origin (USA,
Canada or Mexico) it should be duty exempt. If it shows "US Goods

In my experience of shipping bikes and parts, it's generally a ~$50 flat
fee for brokerage clerical charges no matter what and Russian roulette on
import tax fees. Coming from us to Canada there are various import rules of
taxation on new vs used related bikez: us parts, us manufacturers, frame,

I too ordered my Gus from C&L Cycles at the end of the day of Thursday,
9/22/22 and it was delivered on Wednesday, 9/28/22 to NYC. From Canada it

Shouldn't the dealer be able to answer that for you?

Yes, the Gus I found is at a Riv dealer in Canada. Having googled until I
cannot stand it anymore I ask; anyone have experience with "clearance" fees
associated with importing a bicycle frame from Canada? The closest I have
come to uncovering the cost is that items valued under $2,500.00 US are
I have decided to stick with a square taper crank, either White Eno or Riv
Silver, and I have bottom bracket questions.
Gus BB shell is 73 BSA. The bottom brackets they sell (Shimano & IRD) are
68. Riv says "use the 113 (spindle) if you have a mountain bike front
derailleur." But, they also say
I for one would love to see a Gus with EE wings and friction 1x Eagle or
Garbaruk cassette. Friction shifting a 12 speed cassette feels better to me
than the 7 speed I have. The spacing feels so perfect!

Frame/ Fork only. So interesting that a lot of folks are running 1x. My dream build might be to install the ee wing crank I already own (170 crank arms) in a 1x setup. I also own (ugly?) Sram GX 12 speed shifter. I was thinking a 9 or 10 cassette? The crank is currently attached to a 30t Absolute B
Brian, right on. Your reply answers what I was wondering. If you had more than
enough stump-pull with 32 x 51, I'm hoping I get enough out of a 32 or 30 ring

Scott, I’m running 1x11. It’s a real stump-puller. I was finding that I was pretty much running it on the smallest 2 cogs when just cruising around town, and I was wanting a bit more so that’s why I swapped the chainring. I don’t think I sacrificed too much on the low end in doing so, but I’ve yet

On my Gus, I’m running a 1x drivetrain. I went with a White crankset and bottom bracket (BSA) and I’m using a Deore M5100 RD and matching 11-51 cassette. I originally installed a 32t ring up front, but last week I swapped it for a 34t to give me a little more on the high end.On Dec 10, 2022, at 1:1
Richard, I'm stoked for you! Congrats on your new-to-you Gus!
Keep in touch, so we can compare notes on OUR upcoming Gus builds. I've got
some ideas as to drivetrain options and haven't made a decision yet myself.
Hoping to hear yours and other member's thoughts about a recipe for a yummy Gus

Wow, what a few days. I love my Clem so much that I have been really
craving a Susie as a dedicated singletrack bike. I just love the gold
color. Alas, none to be found anywhere and none on the horizon. But, I
found a Gus in my size and I quite like the mermaid so I bought it. Now I
am selling
