One thing I love about the Riv site is the ability to check out the available old school parts. I know none of that stuff actually works any more (see the freewheel debate over the last few years), maybe the Y2K bug really did affect something, but it's nice to look.
Thats an obvious statement born out of ignorance. If their "old school designed parts" (which not all of them are ) worked in the past why wouldn't they now?
I have two bikes with freewheels and IRD is re-making them again. There are several good reasons for using fewer cogs. I plan on a Phil rear hub with a 6 or 7 speed and a dishless configuration.
