Jim --

here are the updated photos of The Rivvy LongLow, which went back to uprights this week.

When I got this frame in 1999, I had intended it to be ridden as an upright city bike. I rode it that way for six years, then converted it to drop bars for the last two. Now that I have a different bike running drop bars and being used for all my long rides and lots of commuting, I decided to put uprights back on this bike. One of each, I'm all set to go.

Changes made:

North Road upright bars
Vintage plastic grips (not sure how old, but I've used them on this bike before, and I like the shape)
SunTour XC Pro brake levers (hoarded for far too long, specifically for this bike)
Shimano "beehvie" shifters (also hoarded for far too long)

The bike rides very upright, spindly and fun like a teenager high on its own adrenaline.
