Many of you may already be aware of this, but Blue Lug has a nice catalog of all it's Riv Builds for customers. In the even you want some inspiration for your next build, or just want to see some different takes on each frame, have a look:


If you click the dropdown in the top right corner and scroll down to the Riv section you can even filter for specific models. Been super helpful as I accrue the things needed for my upcoming 56cm 2TT Sam I scored from Abe on here.

Hopefully helpful for folks looking to build out that next frame or rebuild your old favorite!

If you're wondering "How do I tastefully build and specify a bike?" this is the perfect place to start. They also do a great job with the photographs, some of the best out there.

Before I purchased a Riv I spent some time on their site, and those builds; really well done.  I watched their videos, including those in Japanese, and they're very enjoyable.

Thanks so much for sharing this. Never seen it before but truly inspiring and drool worthy.

I too have this bookmarked and my Clem L is heavily influenced by them. Also a great website to order from. Turnaround is super quick and you get a bunch of stickers

There is truly no equal to Blue Lug. As Eric said, the combination of perfectly curated builds combined with excellent photography and an eye for getting the best angles. A lot of great shops out there, but BL are on their own level. 

I also really appreciate how they note the frame size for each build - I think we all want to see what bikes look like in our size when being inspired.

Great point about size, Jason. It really helps to visualize the proportions

I just finished a 56cm 2TT Sam build, and the amount of blue lug influence Is borderline silly. Will post some photos to the SH thread when I’ve got some time to stop riding and take a nice snap or two.
