Oh, man, I remember. I used to make leather washers for fender mounting
(I still think it is a good idea)
and then give them away in return for a postcard from a ride. That was
fun. For a while my refrigerator
had a pretty healthy compliment of postcards on it. Fun!

DOUG!! Long time, no see/hear. You made some leather mud flaps for
my Ram's fenders w-a-a-ay back in '05 or '06 I think it was. Good to
see you active on the blog again!

I'm just joining the group, so I thought it would be polite to
introduce myself.
I've been riding Rivendells since about 2003, when I realized that
I'd never bought a bike for myself and had just had them given to
me. I bought a Rambouillet and was instantly hooked. I still
ride that Rombouillet, but I also have a Saluki and some generic
cross bike that has been made into a cargo bike with an Xtracycle
attachment.
I used to be a regular contributor to the old RBW mailing list,
but I faded out and got interested in other things. I build bikes
for short friends that can't find bikes that will work for them in
the commercial sphere. And I work for a bike charilty
(www.bikex.org <http://www.bikex.org>) that donates fixed up bikes
to social service agencies.
I live in Palo Alto and am newly retired. I used to run a
business that did contract technical writing.
There we have it.
