my buddy and i originally wanted to get Bike Fridays for touring. then realized the small wheels were not good for touring/light trails. he bought a new Trek 520 and i had already had a 1984 Cannondale tourer, this was about 2005 as we checked out touring websites we slowly realized our bikes were functional but ugly....especially the 520. my buddy was a long-time Bridgestone bike/catalog fan then turned me onto Rivendell. it was then we saw how beauty and function can be rolled into one. first, my buddy bought a Heron Randonneur from Saturday Cycles in Utah, a great shop. i still had my Cannondale because i thought the Riv. prices were a bit much...not so much anymore fast forward to 2012 and my stable consists of 3 Rivs (Ram, Ram, Atlantis) and 2 Herons (Road, Touring). my buddy has since added a Saluki with 650b tires. i still keep a couple 1980's Japanese road bikes in service but the Riv. kool aid has been drunk, digested and there's always a cold pitcher of it in the fridge mike goldman warwick,r.i. ____________________________________________________________ 53 Year Old Mom Looks 33 The Stunning Results of Her Wrinkle Trick Has Botox Doctors Worried http://thirdpartyoffers.juno.com/TGL3131/5033cffcc81474ffc76f9st04duc
