That was my downfall too. I dropped by several years ago and test rode a Rambouillet. I struggled to make a decision and ended up with a carbon racery bike.
But the siren call persisted and I found a used Romulus. Then the real trouble started and I convinced myself to get a custom Riv - best bike decision I ever made. The carbon bike sits un-ridden in the garage. -JimD On Nov 29, 2011, at 12:00 PM, grrlyrida wrote: > That's what made me order a bike from RBW and leave my carbon/skinny > tired lifestyle behind--a test drive at Riv on a Betty Foy. > > On Nov 28, 4:32 pm, Smitty-A-Go-Go <54ca...@gmail.com> wrote: >> Had family in town this past weekend.
