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. >From what I understand, the Clem has become more Rosco-Bebe-like over the years, with a

Thanks Paul! Maybe there is a demand for them…The idea of these bikes getting passed around is pretty neat too. Multiple generations of kids riding on them seems pretty neat! But leave it to Riv make a “baby” bike that rides so great they go beyond their intended use and people want to keep them ev

Hey Joe, I got it and will follow up off list. Hate to say it, but I'm also not surprised: you're not the only one waiting on a reply :) I think Riv should do another round of these :) I wonder if lead times and factory capacity are back to where they can do a special order if 10 or 20 people c

Hey Paul, I sent you an email but not sure if you got it. I’m a new a parent and while I’ve got other Rivs that I plan to use with a kid seat, I’ve definitely been curious to experience the Bebe with my baby! If you decide to pass it to a new parents, I’d love to chat with you about it. Thanks

I'm with you on that Hoch. I'm the third owner of a semi-custom Boulder All Road 650b. Aside from being a particularly special bike, it happens to fit like no other bike I've ever ridden. I've considered selling it several times, because I don't ride it much, and I've basically stopped riding dr

Ah, got it. Well, I’m sure you’ll find the Clem rides great. I had one for a bit and I liked it. That said, I had a bike years ago (Surly). Fit was amazing and I felt like I could pedal forever on it. I foolishly decided to sell it for another bike. I couldn’t get it to fit right so I bought a

Hey Hoch, The fork is a Clem fork but I'm pretty sure the head tube angle is different, part of the way they made the effective top tube so long and gave it such good balance with a 30 lb load behind the handle bars. I don't really want to get rid of it or get a new bike, but I do want another

I believe the Rosco uses Clem forks, so I’m assuming the front end is similar, if not the same. Rivendell told me that they also use the same front end on the Gus, Susie, Atlantis so they should all ride very similar. Unless you just want a new bike to get a new bike (nothing wrong with that),

Thanks for the feedback Richard and Laing. I certain I'd enjoy a Clem, but I guess I'll never know how unique the Bebe bike is until I can ride them both back to back. There's still part of me that wants to get it to another new parent. Laing, please share you thoughts when you get the Bebe on

I own both, but I have never completed the Bebe build [everything done but the brakes and chain-line (S-A 3 speed)], so not much help yet. I bought the Bebe because of the long effective top tube. I have short legs and a long torso and it seemed like it might be the ideal step through for bars
