Riv is not listing them other than saying blue and dark gold. Have you seen a sample of the dark gold? I was hoping for Orange again. Is the price to remain the same? Thanks Joel On Sun, Sep 6, 2020 at 9:07 PM velomann wrote: > Russ's videos, and his enthusiasm for the Sam (he did decide to

Russ's videos, and his enthusiasm for the Sam (he did decide to buy it) pushed me over the edge and I put my deposit down 2 weeks ago with Golden pliers for a 51cm Sam H in the Dark Gold. I've been a Riv fanboy and occasional presence on this list for years, but this will actually be my own

[RBW] Re: Path Less Pedaled will review a Riv!

The review was well done and had lots of video footage of him riding on trails/paths. I found it interesting that he is riding a frame size that fits but he could ride up one size. He mentioned that the smaller size would allow him to utilize drop bars but wasn't ideal for swept back bars

[RBW] Re: Path Less Pedaled will review a Riv!

Oh, thanks for that Mackenzy ! I have the original 56cm steel Albatross bar and I love 'em. I tried some of the 55 Al ones and it was notably different, the radius of the curve was smaller and I didn't like it one bit. I acquired a Billie bar recently and it was quite a

Oh, and one more thing: switched from the 55cm cromo Alba to an old 56cm wide HA Albatross bar. That teensy 1cm more width is nice too. I wish Nitto still made them that way. John On Sunday, August 9, 2020 at 3:52:31 PM UTC-7 John Phillips wrote: > I wasn't able to get comfortable on my

[RBW] Re: Path Less Pedaled will review a Riv!

I wasn't able to get comfortable on my Albatross bars until I switched to a lower Nitto NP 12cm stem, and the Nitto S84 seat post with 4cm setback. I also tilt them down so the bar is perpendicular to my arm and my wrist is straight. I simply needed more space, more reach, and to take the kinks

[RBW] Re: Path Less Pedaled will review a Riv!

I wish the albatross were a little wider. The trick for me has been using a very long stem--far longer than what Russ has on his demo bike. I also run them at saddle height, not high like many I've seen. In that configuration I find them to be comfy and like the control. I just put a pair on

[RBW] Re: Path Less Pedaled will review a Riv!

I have tried the albatross bars several times, on several bikes, including my Hunqapillar. I really, really want to like them but I just can't. The only spot on the bar I found tolerable was at the very front of the curves, and I'm not a drop bar rider. On Thursday, August 6, 2020 at

[RBW] Re: Path Less Pedaled will review a Riv!

His initial review was pretty much what I expected. Although, it was pretty obvious to me he was grappling with the Billie bars; I noticed he really favored the forward hand position. Being a rider who favors drop bars that was not surprising; it made me think he would probably like some

I enjoyed the first ride video. Not surprised that Russ seems to be enjoying the bike, as so much of his aesthetic and riding style seems to be Grant inspired. I also got a kick out of the joking about disc brakes. Interesting that the bike came equipped with Ultradynamico tires. I for one

Yes - pretty sure Russ has swung a leg over a Riv or 2. When he and Laura lived in Portland they would occasionally swing by Rivelo and there's a Path less Pedaled Rivelo shop visit video. And I know he'd welcome the opportunity to do a Grant interview. And Supple is the perfect term, both for
