So I see some people don't understand that a lighter tubing =a more
responsive ride and more give when you hit large bumps.If they make a
lighter tubed version there's a reason. If you plan on carrying more weight

Hi All,
Yes I did order a Susie today. I talked to Vince who was, as always very
helpful. I talked size mostly, my longish PBH for my height and my large

excited obviously.this will make us a 4 Riv household and my first
We'll need a location if you're interested in local pick up.

Hey all -
Am thinking about selling my 62 cm Hunq frameset. It's in great condition
with a bit of beusage. Kidney bean and grey paint. Have some other things I
could throw in (seatpost, crank, Paul brakes) if you are going to build it
up from scratch and want a head start.
Can add pics soon.
A bullmoose is great if it's the set angle downward that you prefer, if
not, not so much. Stiffness isn't everything, it depends on the rider
preference. It's never as if bars bend and flex in hands like wet noodles,
though some act like it does !

Oops, the ChocoMoose offer is cancelled. I just got word my custom is on the

Sounds like a fabulous 4+ days. I don't generally think of record-setting
cold days in November as very desirable. Since they allowed you to cycle
the C without mud on a frozen, leaf-covered surface, I might change my
mind. I'm wondering how cold it got at night and what kind of
The weight difference may not be significant; however, I've ridden stock
frames (i.e. Surly) at 5lbs and custom frames at 4lbs. Not much
difference. Surly is butted, but probably 9/6/9? Or something like that.
Custom frame was at 8/5/8. It was a delight to ride. Felt so much more

Back when they decommissioned "Clementine" I wondered here why they didn't
decommission "Clem Smith Jr." instead. But they probably sell more this way.
To the OP's question, I think the weight differences will get lost in the
laundry. (Or the sauce. It comes out in the laundry in the end). Some
IME anything "-moose" is triangulated and therefore stiffer (can equate to
harsher riding); the benefit is it's more rugged for heavy duty riding and
stiffer (if you are a bigger rider with a heavy pedal this can be a pro).
one other benefit of "-moose" is your bars will never slip down.

The only differences are the Moose locks you into a 12cm stem reach and the
bars in the 'flipped down' position (I've used both). The separate version
gives you lots more options.

Thanks Alex. I forgot the original was 27.5, not 29.

How was the Bb height compared to the ECR (which already has a low low BB). I’m
sure it added to the feeling of stability as you said in the blog. Wondering
how this bike would feel with 2.2” tires. If that would drop the BB too much.

no paint rub/marks on the car, and they perform so much better.
