Well, the title of Annie's review in question is "Rivendell Clementine - *First Impressions*" (emphasis mine). So this wasn't supposed to be a full-on objective review of the bike after riding it for weeks or months, just her "first impressions". I'm sure we'll get a more substantial review after more riding has happened (and a possible handlebar switch.) So let's not be so harsh on her. Besides, she ends it in a positive note with this: "For now, I just need to get to know my Clementine. I am confident she has *potential*." -Shawn -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
