OT But Fun - How Riv Customers are Made

[JoelMatthews]

Was on Spectrum looking for pictures of my bike. None there, but did
find this:

What is not to love? Lugs, double crown plate, King headset, can't
make out the front hub, but it looks like the real deal.

Kid is definitely going to have a thang for Rivs someday.

Oh my. Ohmy. I was just thinking about the logistics of learning to make bike frames so I could keep my kids in bikes throughout their lives. Seeing this makes me so envious. What power. What intensity. What talent. Oh my. OT or not, thank you for posting, Joel.

Happy New Year!

My sentiments exactly. My first verbal reaction was, "Oh my!." I assume that the finicky bit at the tail end of the frame tube is some sort of damped lean mech?

(And I thought *my* daughter, age 2 1/2, had a Kewl trike: Radio Flyer with newmatik tires, freewheel, and rear handle that allowed Dad to push *and* take over steering. (Useta love annoying or -- for the nice people -- amusing the other shoppers by wheeling Catie down the grocery store aisles.)

Another trike worth mentioning from Vanilla.
