When you spot a mint condition Glorius a couple hours away in your spouse’s size, you jump in the car and drive, drive, drive. This may be the most beautiful bike I’ve ever seen. First pic is as it came (though I’d already swapped the wheels from her old bike, hence the rotors), second is built to spousal spec. She’s already in love, and it’s her first Riv!

Well, I don’t think anyone will be surprised that I’m in love with it. In such good condition, too! What does your wife have to say about it; does she know what a treasure this bike is? It’s just to die for.

WOWZA! That is one beautiful bike.
She is one lucky lady to 1) own the bike (I hope she gets lots of happy miles on it, and 2) to have her husband perfect it for her.

What a find! Definitely one of the more beautiful bicycles I've ever seen, and timeless at that. Hard to imagine why someone would have sold it, but good job scooping it up.

Oh my...the gorgeous head tube lugs and the contrast with the red and white. Exquisite. Way to go!

The bike looks great! Are you planning to keep it as a de facto 1x with a triple crank?

She loves it! Very quickly noted the lively feel and smoother turning than her previous bike, a very solid and dependable Trek mixte with disc brakes. It’s truly a stunning bike to look at, and in wonderful shape despite its relative age.
We’re keeping the triple while she tests out different ratios, then will likely go down to a single ring and bashguard at some point.
Now the only problem is that I’m jealous! Any 64cm Gloriae or Wilburies out there? :)

Reid,
They never made any 64 G’s or W’s; otherwise I would have one you would be pestering me about!
Enjoy the fact that your wife will likely give you some serious latitude regarding future bike endeavors because her bike is nicer than any of yours. Well played smart young man.
Sincerely,

The downtube decal doubles as the caption: "Glorious"
