I'd take my Jones over any Rivendell any day. However, you sure the 24 Plus is your size? I'm loving my Rosco Mixte and think I'm smaller than you and ride a 25 Jones Plus. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe

Anyone have pictures of build. Ride report with comparisons to other Riv bikes you own would be much appreciated. Bought one but still in box due to recent knee surgery. Have trade option for a 24+ Jones and am in major limbo here. Sincerely, Ryan Hankinson West Michigan -- You received

Update from Will today. Should have mine in a couple weeks or so. I went with solid silver/no-decals/no headbadge, but I have an old "timepiece" Yves Gomez badge (my favorite Riv badge, and hey, Gomez was a mixte too) that I plan to use. So ready for this! On Tuesday, January 10, 2017 at

Bumping this thread because it looks like we're close! I'll let Will decide when to spill the beans, but I'm chomping at the bit to reveal some prototype pics he sent when I asked for an ETA. Almost wish I hadn't asked because what I saw makes it even harder to wait. The only clue I can give is

I cannot believe I missed this. I actually asked Grant about a 64 cm Clem-L last winter after building up my wife's normally sized Clem. Grant said they had considered it, sent me the plans for it, and told me to keep an eye on the Blug. I missed the announcement and I see they're gone already.
