Very nice build. I have the tektro side pulls before they became Silver

wears 48’s but at least I know if I change brakes I could use 48’s although

Paul, the bike rides great. The 48mm tires help but Even without that the
frame is just very body gentle. Handling I’d stable, a bit slower than the
Bleriot but not much and that may be me getting used to it. I’ve put the

but I am not sure on the orange, but now it is a big maybe.
On Sun, Sep
When I was in grad school in St. Louis I learned to call that a St. Louis
stop. Can’t believe they actually ticketed you vs. a warning. Good luck
when this comes before a judge.

I slow down always and stop when I cannot see far enough. I find most but
not all drivers waive me through and are pretty considerate. Then there
are those that have to beat a bike at a 4 way stop.

I use the Kevin’s bad, predecessor to the XS I believe. I sold all of my
banana bags and now find I need room for a camera and windbreaker. Always
well made.

I forwarded your message to my buddy. At this point I am not sure what he
is going to do. I know he did not want priests for this bike. If he is
interested I will get back to you, that is if he let’s me know.
Thank you Laing.

Thanks Mike, I was wondering as it looked orange like. I will look on my

Riv is not listing them other than saying blue and dark gold. Have you
seen a sample of the dark gold? I was hoping for Orange again. Is the
price to remain the same? Thanks

The current ones use cantilevers, the Hoper uses dude pulls.

Garth, thank you, I forwarded the info. He will call to make sure it is
alloy, it does not say.

Thanks. I forgot to mention he wants 36 hole. I believe he wants a rear.
I think he is using a 5 speed FW.

Thanks Roberta. The Atlantis is very nice, different for me as I missed
when Riv started with the longer chainstays. I wanted an Appaloosa but the
standover is slightly more and I went with fit, same with Homer vs. Sam,
the Sam May be a tad better fit, it may be similar to my Bleriot but fit
Doug, I think it is very similar to the one I have and it lists liters,
etc.

I like the Sam H a lot, if I do decide to sell the Bleriot I would want a
Sam because from all I have gathered it would be a great fit in 51cm for
me. The Homer May be a tad taller from I information I have gathered from
a forum member. Also, nice to have one with a shorter chainstays as well.
Doug, thanks. The bag is what was called the Kevin bag years ago. I sold
a new one some years back on the forum. I think the Sackville small bag is
basically the same. I don’t know how many liters but it is smaller than
the Acorn small bag.
Thanks Joe. Three color is much nicer in person than on the Riv site (just
my opinion).

Thanks Jason. I’m not in a hurry but I do like to go for rides where it is
not casual, if you know what I mean. I just did a ton of measurements. I
was spoiled as my old bike guy had all my numbers written down and my

Rich, speed is not important, I want the most stable and comfortable ride
with a bike that fits the best. You have given me great info, thanks. Ride
report on the Atlantis should be later today.
