 Hey all!

 The ride can of course continue after the end of the above suggested

Re: [RBW] Re: San Francisco/Bay Area Riv Riders

[Luke Hendrickson]

Hey all!

10am meet on 12/31 at Coffee Movement (1737 Balboa) followed by a 10:30am 
departure with potential stops at Golden Boy, Red’s Java, and Farley’s 
(that’s the lil’ Potrero detour built into the ride) followed by a 
leisurely cruise to the top of Twin Peaks. Here’s the route 
. 

The ride can of course continue after the end of the above suggested 
course. Either way, the main point of this is to have a chill, friendly 
meandering around the City before kicking off 2023.

Feel free to dm me with any questions!

 I’m in the City proper and was thinking about some mixed terrain

Re: [RBW] Re: Bombadil and Hunqapillar origins: The definitive thread

[Trevor Bradshaw]

Presumedly, it might of sounded like I didn't like my Bombadil. I associate 
"overbuilt" with "wellmade" and absolutely love my bike. It keeps up with a 
casual road ride no problem. Impressive! It always felt like a swiss army 
knife. It's really great hearing all of the Bomba and Hunq info flowing. 
They have always been the most interesting of the Riv line to me.

 Yes. My recollection was that Bomba was coming out when it was 
 "suggested" that those names were IP, so IIRC it was the last of the 
 Tolkien names.

 Grant shared the Hunkapiller mailbox story with me verbally during a 
 visit to RBWHQ It was the same as he later wrote in one of the Readers. 

 The first Hunqapillar I ever saw came out with grey frame and orange.
 I had some images over on my (goodness gracious it's still THERE?) 
 Flickr feed - 

 https://www.flickr.com/search/?user_id=93409214%40N00_all=1=hunqapillar

 There were both TTT (Twin Top Tube) and Diagatube frames when I 
 visited. IIRC, Grant said it was going to be diagatube only in production 
 - 
 this image shows an unpainted model -

 For completeness - here's a tall Bomba with the TTT and that gorgeous
