on a 20-mile ride on Minuteman Commuter Bikeway:

Hi Kip!
Congratulations and good luck on your adventure next summer! *Being able
to have your entire family experience this is absolutely priceless.*
My wife and I recently returned home (Southern California) from a long
adventure (I don't want to bore everyone with the details). As part
Hi Eric,
I am 6' 1/2" with a PBH of 89.2cm so just s smidge lower than you. When I
bought a custom Riv Road in 2001, Grant put me on a 61.5cm frame. It is
still superbly comfortable. I have since bought a 60cm Quickbeam and a 62cm
Legolas. I like the 62cm better.
As for cockpit position, I

Are Grant and his neighbor both on a Gus? Or just one of them? Funny how
the different bars make them look like different bikes.
I would rather the flatter bar on that terrain, I know, for going up or
going down.

If you hadn't said anything, I would have guessed that's a Bosco Bullmoose in
front and the upcoming Wavie bar in the rear. Am I crazy to still think this?

I'm 100 miles in on a cycle of ride a little, tinker a little on this bike,
most recently raising the handlebars and adding a Bananasax (the blue
fabric works well with the blue rims, and contrasts rather than clashes
with the orange). More to do, but it's fun all the way. Here's a ride report
I just got my first compliment on my Roadini after less than 10 rides on

over and caught up with me to say "Nice bike". I've had the same type of

I wonder what the least resold Riv is? At least the smallest ratio or

Last bump. Prices are dropped and best offers are probably accepted because
space is more valuable than anything else. Everything purchased so far has been
shipped or picked up at my house!

Open the image in it's own tab for full size, if one is wondering. The
background bike appears to have the lugged Riv Ahead stem as it's a single bolt
for 25.4 bar. The bars have the tell tale right side vertical band, though in
b, signifying heat treated Al. My guess is a Nitto b812 from Blue
Nah, that's not what I'm seeing. The not-Bosco bar is using a normal threadless
stem with a Wavie-looking bar. A threadless Bullmoose would look similar to the
slingshot in the stem area.

I'm going to bump this and will improve the offer a bit by selling the
thumb shifter mounts for $65.00 still; but will pay shipping CONUS.

I don't think it's a bullmoose. I think it's a regular bocso with a

For what it’s worth, when I ordered the Tandem, I spec’ed it with the G-One
Speed 2.35 slicks (mounted on Cliffhangers, I think). They do clear fine on the
tandem, both Med & Sm size, and there’s even enough room for SKS fenders. The

The best way to move in endurance activities is to use big muscles (starting
