I've not tried the Hetres, but I'm really digging the Col De La Vies that came on my Bleriot and the Fatty Rumpkins are great on the dirt. I'm really wanting to try the Maxey Fasty tires as I think they may roll a bit quicker...

I love how the poster above makes it sound like when Riv introduced the Bleriot, that's the only bike they decided to ever produce and that's why the Ram was discontinued. Now, let's ponder that a moment... Grant Peterson deicided to stop selling a frame/fork that retailed for at least $1500 for a frame/fork that retailed for $750, even though the $1500 frame was selling very well......Hmm, that doesn't make much sense. Correct me if I'm wrong, but Ric introduced the A. Homer Hilson soon after the Ram was discontinued. BTW- Rive just had a batch of new Rams that they sold out of immediatly, so the Ram is not dead forever (I want one as well).

As has been said, I don't reallt think GP is going to lose any sleep if you don't agree with his 650b logic...he's still selling tons of bikes and is offering a great deal to those that have had issues becuase of the economy...I don't see anyone else doing that.
