satisfaction from doing a relatively quick 4 step cleaning process and then
warming up the hot wax in the crock pot and then pushing the chain down

If you ever install silicone bar grips and need to get them off again, then
the right chuck on your compressor pushed under the lip of the grip will

I guess another question would be can you expect steering to be twitchy
when all your leverage it behind the steering axis instead of in front like
you find on all drop bar bikes?

I am considering a Roadini and not sure if a 54 or a 57 would be best. I
have always ridden the biggest bike I can stand over without hurting
myself. My current bike has Billie bars installed on a very tall adjustable
stem. Effective top tube on this bike is 59.5cm. Reach to both the rear
eding the longest possible stem.

I need my bars quite high cuz I'm old and my neck aches badly when my head
is hanging over drop bars. I have considered tall stem and drop bars. I
guess that would mean shorter top-tubed bike in order to make the reach to
the hoods on drop bars comfortable.

smaller frame with shorter top tube?

Charlie H Gallop bikes at 44.48 minutes in the video. Not sure why but
that looks like the coolest Riv idea in a long time. Seems like they are
keeping it quiet for the time being.

Seems the Crust would be more road racy and the Riv more long, relaxed and
multi purpose. I know we're not supposed to talk about weight but I can't
help wondering if there's much difference one vs the other. Just wondering.
