The reports about the Jones and climbing move it a place higher on the "want" list*. I'll be interested to hear about others' experience on the new Rivendell mountain bike too.
I "naturally" stand while climbing; perhaps it's just long habituation, but I'd not want a bike where you couldn't be comfortable standing and "honking". I daresay it's just a misleading appearance, but the profile of the new MTB reminded me of the Electra Townie, one of which (24" wheel, 3i model) I bought for my daughter when she was 10 or so; a surprisingly fun bike to ride (it almost fit me, so versatile was the design) but "foot forward" and discouraging to standing. *I have to admit that it's really a "Want but will probably never buy" list, since there are other dream bikes above even a Jones. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
