Hey Manny I wish I would have met you on Saturday. I did see you there with
your Love. I was there also picking up two Atlantises. One for me and one for
my good friend Marisella. We spent six hour going through every detail for her
since it was her frist Riv. Scott, Harry and Grant were
- Manny lucky to share my hobbies with my love one Acosta
You are definitely lucky. Nice pics too.
I managed to make it into my early 40s without tying the knot. It is
hard enough to find elgible singles around my age, let alone one who
is up for a date by bike. Frankly, I feel more
Ironically, I actually met my wife on a bike ride when I was in my
late 30s - and she is not what I would call a bike person. The local
rail trail sponsors a Monthly full-moon ride, and she and her sister
happened to be there on a whim. I had ridden the same trail for years.
It was her first ride
This thread has highlighted for me the core problem I have with
almost every bicycle tail light. They are designed to be clip-ons to
go on a jersey pocket, messenger bag, etc. Mounting it permanently
to the bike is an afterthought. The result is unsatisfactory as the

I do my frames twice a year, at the beginning and end of winter (in MN
that works out to november and march usually). This seems like enough,
even the frames that get salt and sand and whatnot from the MN snow
removal hold up fine.

Not sure I like the triplizer bracket though. But it is a very nice

The rear, I used the same screw as you use on the eyelets for the
struts, put one into the chainstay bridge, and then used one of the
fold-over sliding brackets to hold it on at the rear brake. Not bad,
just tedious, as you have to pull the wheel out, adjust, put it back
in to check, pull it back

It should work. The barcon adapters that Riv sells present a boss
shape that is functionally identical to a frame boss. The thing to

When you do your frame, do you squirt it in all the holes, tape them
up, turn the frame every which way to circulate the mess, or do you do
something less intensive/obsessive?

sorry, my badI thought I saw a triple version.
The Mighty Tour seems like a different design than the Alpina
visually.. Much nicer in my opinion.
I'm not sure I'm ready to fork over $300 smackers though. Too many
hills where I ride not to have a triple too.
