Thought it might be a Redwood, but the fork looks wrong?

[RBW] Re: DMV Area Rivendell Riders

[mrb]

While out today in Rock Creek Park (not on my Riv, unfortunately), I saw 
THREE new Rivs I haven't seen before!

- A nicely racked up and fendered Hunq
- A different Hunq 
- Maybe a custom or a road? Greenish silverish and said "Rivendell"

Best part was seeing the racked up, very upright and comfortable Hunq 
rider, whose smile was visible from a mile away. I swear half the time i 
see a rider with a big smile, upright position, and a steel bike, it's a 
Riv!

A Rivendell just makes you happy to Ride!

Gorgeous Hunq! 

A great story here! The rider of the Red Custom Riv got back to me 
off-list! He's waiting for his message to be approved, but he saw my "Riv 
Bat Signal" and responded! We're gaining steam!

I own a record shop on NW Kennedy St near Rock Creek -- we could meet up 
over there some time!

[RBW] DMV Area Rivendell Riders

[mrb]

I found out that Paul R and I both live in Takoma Park, and I know he has a 
stable of 3 amazing Rivs. As a recent Romulus acquirer, I've gotten a few 
shout outs on the streets in the past couple months. Recently, I've also 
spotted two super nice rigs out on the trails/streets:

- A super sweet racked and fendered up Cheviot in Grayish/Blue (I think) on 
the MBT trail out near ~M or so
- A burgundy custom rivendell with a super sick setup riding up 5th st NW

If you live and ride in the DC/Maryland/Virginia metro area, shout it out 
here and show some pics!

Re: [RBW] FS - Riv/Blue Lug caps

[mrb]

I have an olive for sale, $60 shipped in the US -- my head us around a 7 
1/2 but it just very much doesn't work with my head shape!

[RBW] Re: My First Riv! A Romulus.

[mrb]

Larry is a real mensch! Buying the bike was an amazing experience. I had 
time to choose between a Hillborne and the Romulus and went for the Romulus 
because I was looking for something speedier. I have a built up 
gravel/adventure bike already -- but now I want the Sam too!
