Not certain, but I think it is much more common in countries with historical
British influence. In my experience, it's common in NZ and here in

"Chuffed?" I must have slipped even more generations behind on slang than I
thought.

I've only had my Clem Smith Jr since late spring of this year and have put
about 750 miles on it. Rivendells of any sort are thin on the ground in my
Midwestern home. Most of the guys I ride with are only vaguely aware of the
brand. They do recognize my bike as an interesting curiosity. It's something
that's at variance with the generally mountain bike-oriented bikes they own. So
I've been pedaling along and simply enjoying the ride. Thus it was with a bit
of personal pleasure that I heard another rider call out, "Hey, nice Riv!" as
he cycled past this morning. I felt pretty chuffed, in a private sort of way,
that a stranger recognized the bike and called it out. Did I need the
"validation?" Well, maybe. Whatever. I must say that it was nice to hear. When
was your first such experience?
