I didn't get it, but tried and was only out-bid by a bit. I'd really
love to see some more pictures too, and learn more about the
geometry.
The whole disapointment in not getting it now has me wishing there was
still a comparable 26 Riv bike available. Is it my imagination, or

Pretty sure that at least one of the current Riv models can utilize 26
wheels. If not, then Riv ought to do something about that.
Bike with 26 wheels are STILL da bomb, IMHO. They ride beautifully and
offer comfort without sacrificing much in the way of speed or smoothness.

Come on, get a bombadil and ride the 650b wave! Then again for the price of
a built bombadil you are almost at full custom prices. Can you just get the
canti studs on a 58 set up for 26 wheels withouth borking the geometry?

650b is cool and all, but I agree with the 26'ers.
I don't have good technical reasons for loving 26 on bigger bikes, but I
love them I do. One of my favorite rides in the past year was borrowing Alex

Thanks, Jim. That's pretty interesting. And not to question the
seller of the mountain bike (who I know is a list member), but the old
