I use the Kryptonite New York Noose and the Kryptonite New York U-Lock. Also have Hexlox peppered throughout the bike. On Sunday, February 18, 2018 at 8:21:20 PM UTC-5, Kainalu V. wrote: > > My Bubbe's got the third mount with the mojave cage as well, I use it to > carry my big insulated kleen

Jacob, Welcome to the Riv family. Love your Clem! You did a great job realizing the bike. So functional and beautiful to boot. Congratulations! Best, Richard -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group

The pics have aroused a suspicion that you may have great taste! Uber-Riv-y while also being stylish in what seems a personal-to-you kinda way. I've gotta say that this paint and build particulars have me, for the first time, thinking about adding a Clem to the stable. Well done, Jacob. On

Hi All, It was me (I ?) who organized the meet up a few years ago and I'm definitely up for another one. Problem is, I'm traveling a lot this month and March...I am free this Wednesday 2/21 if that works for some. We met at the beer hall in Greenpoint (name??) Of course, y'all don't have to

My Bubbe's got the third mount with the mojave cage as well, I use it to carry my big insulated kleen kanteen full of coffee on days that I work in Jersey (rarely). I get a little scared imagining it rattling up and catching the front wheel on a turn (anybody able to confirm this fear as

The handlebar bag is fantastic! The velcro mounting makes it super-easy to remove and replace (a must for my environment). That thing holds a ton of stuff in a simply genius way. Don't know why they didn't sell like hot-cakes. Get one if you can. I'm really happy you like it Deacon. Means a

[RBW] Re: First Riv/NYC RO

Great build, and the only suspicion I had is why you thought it would cause suspicion. Grin. How do you like the handlebar bag? Folks on the group tend to get together for rides by geography — in my case I’m pretty isolated in the Riv. universe, but when folks come to Colorado we sometimes are

[RBW] Re: First Riv/NYC RO

Nice build, Jacob! Take away the basket, and change the Albatross bars to a Bosco Bullmoose, and it's pretty much how I built my 52 Clem H. Bob E. Cranford, NJ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this

[RBW] Re: First Riv/NYC RO

Hi Jacob, I like your rear-basket setup. It looks like a large Wald basket on a Pletscher rack. Do I have that right? I've been thinking about doing something like that for a mail- and grocery go-getter, and like how big yours looks. It would fit decent-sized boxes, or as much lettuce as I

[RBW] Re: First Riv/NYC RO

Cool. I may just try that setup in my Clem. I have the stock build Bosco but am a little too upright and feel like the bars come back toward me too much. Doug -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group

Doug- Thanks! They are flipped Albatross. Makes the center higher so I’m not bending my back as much when I reach out. First trial of this setup is working as intended. Haven’t done much over 30mi with them yet though. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google

[RBW] Re: First Riv/NYC RO

Kai- I am glad to have that 3rd mount, although it’s not seen much commute use. It’s designated for the 40oz (camping/long road). I’m pretty sure I’ve spied your Clem on the WB bridge. We’ll have to set something up with others when the outside is friendlier. Would love to have a close up of

[RBW] Re: First Riv/NYC RO

Thanks! The rear basket: I can’t run permanent bags as my bike is locked up outside during work hours. So no saddle bag. (Guess I could get the quick-release mount, but then I’m walking around with a saddle bag in my hands) Rear weight is easier to carry over curbs and up stairs. Doesn’t effect

Hi Jacob, A few of us met up last winter at a bar in Williamsburg. We're probably overdue to get together again. There's also the Annual NYC area iBOB (and friends) Ruff Stuff OCA ride, which happens every fall. That ride gets posted on the iBOB list and Rivs are usually well represented
