Hello geocycle,I'm going to use her for a lot of daytrips at the moment then get into longer tours as time goes on,I live in Derbyshire so I have the lovely Peak district on my doorstep,unfortunately I have to work Saturdays so my time is limited at the moment,however when I retire the worlds my oyster as they say.

Thanks Danneaux,I thought I would get the best I could afford so I wouldn't need to add much at a later date,

Thanks Anto,I will do my friend,did a 37 miler this afternoon to bed her in,felt great and could have carried on for another 40,I had the thudbuster on a Genesis tour de fer,I'm not sure I need it on my Raven.

Ah if your happy with the way it feels (you are) i'd leave the thudbuster where it is.
Dan had one on his Nomad he loves it.
i  could do with one on my audax (bad back) but it had to much layback on it so i'll stick with what i have,anyway enjoy sure is a beauty.

You might not; low pressure in fat tires can do a lot to make a ride more comfortable (air suspension).

I do like my Thudbusters, but then I often ride on really rough gravel and logging roads.

Enjoy every mile in that lovely bike!

Best,

Dan.

Nice bike, Ridge! I've had my Raven for three years now -- they're great bikes, so versatile.  Enjoy!

[ridgeback63]

Thanks everybody for your kind comments,I'm really liking her more every time now

Absolutely beautiful.....   I love, among so many things on the bike, the detail treatment on the very front of the front fender...   kinda cool...
of course, that's a tiny accessory detail, and the whole bike looks just awesome.  Enjoy!!!
