[RBW] Re: Lay-aways
I experienced the negative to saving for a bike this past winter. I had money all saved and was one phone call away from ordering a hunqapillar frame when my wife and I started preparing for another Maine wintah. While lowering the storm windows they literally came apart in our hands. Well-you guessed it, my hunqapillar became replacement windows and although we are warmer- I'm not having nearly as much fun.

[RBW] Re: Lay-aways
That's pretty funny Ray. I've been in a similar spot since selling my Rambouillet frame. Part of me just wishes I had pulled the trigger on a new frame back in Dec when I sold the Ram. Instead I've been saving up more and going back and forth between various bikes--Hunqa, SH, Big Dummy, LHT, Troll etc. I'm just trying to fill a camping/touring hole in my collection. Eventually I'll make a decision. Whatever I decide I'm sure I'll be happy. One thing I can't stress enough... I'm really glad I have my Hilsen. That's the best bike I've ever owned and the one I'd never get rid of. For anyone considering a Hilsen, go for it. --mike On Mar 3, 6:36 pm, Way Rebb grayc...@mac.com wrote: I've never understood why lay away is more appealing than saving up for something.

I am very fond of Rivendell as a business and I am possibly even more fond of Rivendell's employees as individuals. Please remember that when I make the comment below: How typically Rivendell it is to figure out a payment plan that takes 20% down and then 7 equal payments of 11.428571428571428571428571% per month after that. I like 6-digit repeating decimals as much as the next recreational mathematician, but dude. Why not 20% down and 8 equal 10% payments? Why not 25% down and 6 equal 12.5% payments? Hopefully they have a computer do it all, but it's amusing to me how un-simple they tend to make certain things. It's actually kind of endearing.

Why not 20% down and 8 equal 10% payments? Why not 25% down and 6 equal 12.5% payments? Where's the fun in that? And you call yourself a recreational mathematician!

Dear William, Computers? Strictly for amateurs. We have abacuses, slide rules, and No. 2 pencils at Rivendell, and we're not afraid to use them.
