Hi Richard (I hope I got your name right),
Please provide more details. Like you I have a 51 Gus and it weighs 40lbs
and I am having second thoughts of bringing it to my next big trip.
I am thinking of bringing my 48 Hunqapillar but I prefer the ride quality
of my Gus.

Hi Nick,
I tried your suggestion on the Tubus Tara installation by swapping the left
and right rack rails and has allowed me to set the rail almost perfectly
horizontal.
What front panniers are you using?
When I tried both my Carradice C and Gravel pack front panniers, I am
having trouble
I also recently replaced the Nitto Choco bars on my 51 Gus Boots Willsen
with the new Billie bars and its now my new favorite handlebar.
Now I want to replace all the Albatross bars on all my other Riv bicycles

I am not sure if you have checked the pbh chart at Riv's website.
Based on the pbh chart, it looks like a 53 MIT Atlantis would best fit a 85

Hi Justin,
Would you mind giving more details of the road link you used and what specific
XT rear derailleur model you used.
Thanks :-)

Hi Joe,
Good to hear your feedback on these shifters.
I have been looking for an alternative to the IRD shifters.
Thanks gain Joe :-)

Thanks Joe, I was really hoping it was possible.
After destroying several friction shifter after my bike falls over, I moved
all my shifters inside the handlebar.

Related to that blug, I just noticed that the red MicroShift, 9 speed
SL-T09 is installed inside the handlebar.
I would like to use this shifter but I thought it could not be used inside
the handlebar.

Hi Chris,
I can only comment on the Schwalbe Marathon Supreme 26x1.6.
I was very happy with these tires during my TransAmerica tour in 2016.
I think I only had 2 punctures, once in the front and once in the rear.
The rear tire had most wear but it did not require replacement for the
whole 4,250
Hi Chris,
Congratulations on your new Hunqapillar!
I am sure you will enjoy your new bike.
Yes, please do report back with pictures :-)

Thanks Patrick for the initial review.
I have been looking to replace my nylon cycling pants. This could be an
excellent alternative.

Good thing Joe Bernard is taller than I am with my 79.5pbh and 5'5" height
otherwise I would be buying most of his bikes sold in this forum :-)

I think Joe is right.
When the ship the bike, they put a styrofoam on top of the seat tube that
looks like a letter T to protect the lug.
Maybe the lower portion that is placed inside the seat tube broke off and
went down the bottom bracket.

I use the Bike Tow leash on my 3 year old Belgian Malinois.
Its expensive but well worth it.

Hi Joe, looking at your 55 Cheviot, you may have higher pbh. I once bought
a 55 Cheviot but sold it since I need to shove the seat post all the way
down even
Hi Lester, i think you are right that they seem to be recommending tha smaller
frame if you are are within 2 sizes. Thanks for the feedback :-)

Hi Staci, Thanks a lot. I really appreciate your feedback. Its really hard
buying a frame by just looking at the geometry.

Hi,
Anyone who bought a 47 or 50 MIT Atlantis?
I would like to hear your fit experience with the new geometry.
With my height at 5' 5" and pbh of 79-80 so I am between size 47 and 50 of
the new MIT Atlantis
I currently ride the following;
a. 48 Hunqapillar (Ahearn Map handlebar with 12cm stem)
