I don't know how you managed it with only 200 miles on the transferred
parts, but it sounds like your new chain is dancing over worn cogs and/or
chainrings.

It reminds me of the original Cannondale MTBs with the 24-inch rear wheel.
Very weird.

The MKS RMX Riv sells. They're almost too inexpensive to be taken seriously
as real pedals, but I have them on all my bikes. They work.

If it's spring, it must be time for the annual Suntour is coming back as

Forwarding from the Rando
I don't know this from personal experience, but my understanding is that
the Quickbeam/SimpleOne bikes are more like the Rom/Ram/Roadeo
lightish-tubing/steeper-angles road bikes, and the Atlantis is a stouter
touring bike. The fact that you own both and are leaning towards another
Riv tells me
Good catch! I have too many bikes and too little money, so hopefully a
Bleriot won't show up in my size. Which is 52-54. In case anyone was
wondering...

I think the waterproof angle is pushback against the impression amongst
many cyclists that owning a leather Brooks saddle is an issue in inclement
weather. Which is hilarious in light of the fact the product originates in *
England.* I suspect they are equally bewildered by this marketing
BOM is going to be the death of my credit card. So far I've resisted, but
it's only a matter of time...

Yes, they're good looking bikes.
Looks like the BOM idea is going over well. Everything is sold right away.
Pretty
An occasional Waterford is always possible in a run of Rivbikes. I wouldn't
doubt the seller's information without contacting him first.

I don't think there's much to be done about stuffing bigger tires into a
frame designed for 700c wheels and short-reach brakes. The trick is to
reduce the diameter of the wheel and add longer brakes, hence the 650b
conversion trend Grant started.

Axioms may be swell, but the bargain price stems from country of origin. If
that's what you're looking for, fine and dandy, but it warrants a mention.

*Where's it made? Early Homers were made in Japan by Toyo. Then gradually
