I know some of you lot find Rivs too nice to be xbikes, but riding around on this in the hyperconformist, drop-bar carbon frame, Lycra on the 15 min commute to work hellscape that is Oslo, Norway, made me feel like I was some kind of circus act. I love this bike, though. Now I just need to take it out on the gravel roads and get it dirty.

Lovely bike on all fronts.
So different from what I’m into building-up and riding personally, but I absolutely love to see things like this on the sub.
I’d be so bored-to-death if the narrow, prescriptive idea some folks have of what a proper xbike looks like was all that was posted here, so thank you 🙏
Is that a blue lug crankset?
What did you use to secure the basket?
Hahaha… I’ve never been to Norway, but your description of the Oslo commuter scene is hilarious. And the bike looks fantastic, happy trails!
