been traveling north, I think I would have been walking the bike up that
mountain.

Amazing build! Did Grant P design the 1985 MB-1 and MB-2?

Great thread. I would love to ride my Riv every day but I have the
following problem: I live in Rochester, NY and during the winter that means
riding in a salty gray slush. So I have what I used to think of as a
"beater," a Rivified 80s mountain bike (Peugeot US Express) that I ride to

there were 6 which had no-price-gimmee-an-offer text.
Thanks!
