Hi all,

Is there anyone on the list in Chicagoland or nearby with a 54 or 57 Appaloosa, or a 55 Atlantis, they'd be willing to let me ride around the block?

I'm trying to figure out the best Riv for me for loaded dirt touring. After talking with Riv HQ today, I'm thinking I might size down. I wanted to throw a leg over a frame to check out how it feels.

Thanks for any help!

I'd contact Mack's in Evanston. They probably don't have one in inventory, but someone on staff might have one.

Macks has an purple Appaloosa on the floor in a I believe a 57 but I'm not sure about an Atlantis. Go and see em! They're the best!

Sounds like I need to make a trek to Evanston. I've never heard of Mack's. I'm in Des Plaines.

Mack's is fantastic! Sam and Peter are super nice guys!

I just picked up a Clem from them last week, i remember a Roadini in there and few other taller Riv bikes

They do custom builds and every bike they have is built top notch!!!

Cheers!
