[RBW] Re: Which bikes should Rivendell keep selling?
My suggestion is to add more space tot he showroom/shop. All of the Riv bikes are unique in their own way and certainly unlike anything being mass produced.

[RBW] Re: Clem Presale is over.
It seems like with the limited frame sizes the handlebar rise has to be out of proportion to fit a rider that might normally need a larger frame. If you usually ride a 56 you'd have to make the 52 work.

The bicycle rack is interesting. A rope hooked to the exterior wall. The bike swings while he repairs it.
