[RBW] Sweater/Top recomendation
So I live in Arkansas as opposed to MN :), and I'm looking for a good winter shirt/sweater. Basically I want somthing I can wear riding, fishing, and hiking in 40-60 degree weather that could also be worn for general use. Too often now I end up with just a cotton sweatshirt or something and want something a little nicer and looks better. I'm looking the WoolyWarm sweaters and also the Assie Wool Crewneck - any suggestions as to which one?

[RBW] front or rear rack?
Hi all. I currently use an acorn handlebar bag on longer rides. I like it, but it's in the way at times. I'm thinking a small rack might be a better option. I camp very very rarely and don't do multi day tours, so I don't want both a front and a rear rack - but which is best? Preferences out there? Bike is a homer hilsen.

[RBW] Re: Help choosing a bike
I think a 19 inch bike is supposed to fit a person about 5'7 tp 5'11 with an inseem of around 29-31.My PBH is about the same, and I've got a 57 Homer Hilsen. Not sure if this helps or not though.

I got drops. But I want to eventually swap out the bars to 'staches just to try it. Been curious for a while now about what the moustache bar is like. That's one of the fun things about Rivbikes is that you can switch out different styles of bars. Drops, Alba's, 'staches, etc... It is a great ride and the prettiest bike I have seen in the flesh, so to speak. Not many Riv's in my neck of the woods, so rare sightings. Enjoy the first pics.

You might double check with Riv if you don't want it shellaced at all.I've got two coats of amber on my white tape right now. I think it looks and feels awesome.
