Perhaps it's best to understand the full picture before making such assertions, Darin. I had spoken to Rivendell for several weeks with every intention of purchasing and shipping a bike to Australia. In fact it was the lack of help/feedback from them that actually encouraged me to look elsewhere including this very forum. Which was not only an amazing resource for all things Rivendell but also allowed me to source a bike from a member here who was extremely friendly, responsive and helpful in my quest to obtain a Rivendell. In addition, the member here who I purchased it from was selling it unused and still boxed due to it being the wrong size - with all sale proceeds going towards him purchasing a different model/size bike directly from Rivendell. So I would say that both premises in the case are incorrect. To label me as a non-customer is simply inconsiderate and untrue.
