Rivet is a local Australian brand run by a guy called Anthony out of Velofix, Rozelle. The great thing about this relationship is that Anthony at Velofix is a respected Specialized BG bike fitter who can take your specific data and custom design a frame around that data. He also has a wealth of racing and riding experience to draw upon.
This is actually my second Rivet frame. Since I had my last frame designed I lost about 20 kilos and did a bunch of core work, so I craved something a little more aggressive.
The frame was designed around racing, so very stiff with tight geometry. Having said that it's very easy to live with and I find myself riding it almost every other day when I'm not racing. When I ride it I feel like I'm riding a bmx.
The PF30 bottom bracket will eventually be tapped for a T47 Ceramic Bottom Bracket that I have on order.
Total Weight for the build pictured is 7.5 kilos. I am not sure how much the custom purple flip paint to the bars, stem, and forks adds.
I have since fitted Roval CL64 wheels. They are a little heavier than the CLX40s but hold speed better. In addition, they are outrageously wide, and with the turbo 24mm tyres fitted they handle brilliantly.
Over time I might mix up and change a few bits and pieces, but for now I am enjoying the ride
