Absolutely this is a Rivendell list. And I own a Quickbeam and I bought the book (and give it a moderate review). But I also have a Cannondale CAAD 6 too. And a Trek OCLV and a Kogswell P and a Schwinn unicycle and tandem and many more, my favorite is my Handsome Speedy. They are all bikes and and I enjoy riding them all. Not one of them is bad, even though quite a few aren't steel.
None of them have even exploded underneath me will I was riding. Not even the race bikes which have been crashed numerous times. We are forgetting the title of the book. "Just Ride" He didnt title it "Just Ride : only if your bike looks like one that I sell" Scott On Fri, Jul 13, 2012 at 3:38 PM, Peter Morgano <uscpeter11...@gmail.com>wrote: > Well I dont want to call this a troll post like they would at BikeForums > but come on this is the Rivendell owners bunch so I would say they are > focused on one type of bike, mainly Rivendells.
