Not so much in San Jose, Ca, area. Generally folks who know Rivendell, even those on (gasp) carbon fiber bikes know about and appreciate my custom Riv.
In those rare cases that I'm asked if I'm a retro-grouch or why I'm riding such ancient technology my reply is that 'it's a great riding bike.' In my view there's all kinds of kook-aid. I'm fond of the lugged steel type, others are attracted to the carbon road brand, some like the full suspension mountain brand. It's all kook-aid and it's all riding. There's all kinds of cliques to join. -JimD On Sep 5, 2013, at 1:33 PM, Corwin Booth <corwin.bo...@gmail.com> wrote: > I was trying to think of some clever reference to the Electric Kool Aid Acid > Test, but failed. > > Probably the *only* think I don't like about riding my Hilsen are the > occasional snarky comments about having imbibed in the Petersen Kool Aid. > Never mind that everyone knows that we drink miruvor, or that I just happen > to agree with riding with normal shoes, fenders, the "largest saddlebag I've > ever seen!"
