Had the pleasure to stop by the new shop downtown. I've stopped there a handful of times prior a couple of weeks ago but now the new location it's starting to take shape onto it's own. Still lots of quirky things that you don't really expect in a bike shop, wood burnt signs and twine mondals.But still keeping that "Rivendell" feel.
Prime example last Friday. Grant was working and I got to see him work his magic. A group of boys came in enamored about hatchets. Throwing hatchets actually. Grant being Grant told them they didn't sell any throwing hatchets but recommended where they could buy some, while he also gave them the run down of their hatchets and some history. Telling them jokingly if they throw this hatchet he would kick their butt. They talked and the kids left with some hatchet knowledge. Another example another customer came in and actually drawn to the bikes. He ended up leaving learning out to make a Monkey Fist knot. The lovely folks at Rivendell have this uncanny ability to be perfectly honest and real with their customers. And I'm glad that it continues with the new shop. Looking forward to the Grand Opening Dec 14. I guess it helps that their bikes are awesome. With the one bike I got to fit in some bike camping, single tracking and a little bit of mountain bike racing this weekend. Pictures proved that the new shop looks great: http://flic.kr/s/aHsjMDauTo -Manny "One bike to rule them all" Acosta -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
