Good point, I didn't actually frame a question! In that case, why do models
like the Rodeo and Blue Lug SS need to have more limited clearance than, say
the Hillborne, considering they all can use the same model of long reach brakes?
I would guess the answer lies in the many nuances of geometry
That orange thing is RAD. Not funnier than two derailleurs two gears, but
eye opening. I feel the low gear would have to be VERY low to countenance
pedaling backwards up a hill.

The fact they refer to a forthcoming brake, a new rev of Dia Compe 610,
makes it sound like the frame was designed to work with that particular
brake which imparts a clearance.

You didn't actually ask a question. ;-) But from my observations, I think
Riv has always correlated fatter tires with larger loads. Or at least a
propensity for a rider to try to haul more than they should. So i think that

This question is meant for the sake of curiosity, not critism, but I really
like the concept of this bicycle, except for the tire clearance limits. 45mm
tires with fenders would be groovy. The Atlantis achieves this, with an
acceptable Q for most riders.
I suppose the limiting factor is the

If he's getting a 59cm that he wishes was a 58 then why are they gonna be
made in odd sizing instead of even? If I bought one of these it'd probably

Not a 46cm, but a 51cm Appa with 650b wheels. Right now I've got Marathon

Tony, yes Tuesday night was wet!! I enjoy riding in the rain, but the temps

This frame is tempting me to buy it again. If it was a 66cm it would be
