[RBW] Re: MIT AHH - When Available?
Agree with Bill and others here. Do call. I’ve spoken with Grant, Rich, Will, Mark and others. Nice folks at RBHQ:-) Best, Rich -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

[RBW] Re: MIT AHH - When Available?
First, I will say I deeply appreciate and respect the ability to pick up a phone, call Rivendell with just about any question, know I will end up talking to someone that wants to be helpful and will be glad, at least truly ok, that I called. I have never had a bad experience calling and even got to talk for awhile with Grant when he answered the phone once... highlight of my day! Heck, here I am still talking about it! That said... If the phone is the only or best way to get good information, then I worry. Actually, I don't worry, as I have decided I can only worry about so much, and I trust the people at Riv to run their business, design and build their bikes, do what is needed. If it is real enough to be real, known enough to be known, I assume it will be communicated... and I will read every word, look at every picture. But, if not communicated out publicly, I assume things are still being decided, schedules are not known, details are still to be worked out, problems still to be resolved... and so I do not barge in, I try not to waste anyone's time. I do sincerely believe that Rivendell would be well served by having an official communications person, a true point of contact, the reader and responder of the e-mails, the asker of questions to others when needed, someone who could know as much as there is to know about all things Rivendell... and they would communicate and post fairly regularly, and I would know my questions would not be keeping them from other work, because that would be their main mission, even their passion, to let people know, participate, plan, and get excited... and to help Rivendell not only survive but to thrive. Ok, enough words as it is time to find the COG group (Cyclists of Galesburg!) and ride on this amazingly beautiful morning! Hope the day for everyone is a good one.

Bill: You made my day. My first reaction to the OP was "...give 'em a call..." but your response was much more elegant. I was there a couple of weeks ago & didn't know about the Wavie bars until later when I read the catalog I picked up. The only questions I had were 1 & 2 but I hadn't gotten around to calling. Seriously, everyone answers the phone & is super nice. We've become conditioned to phone systems designed to get rid of us, so often we're reluctant to call, thinking it a waste of time. At RBWHQ, live people who want to talk to you answer the phone! What an amazing concept! It's so efficient that I'm amazed more businesses don't pick up on it. dougP On Friday, July 6, 2018 at 4:59:24 PM UTC-7, Bill Lindsay wrote: > > Toll free 1-(800) 345-3918 > Operators are standing by. > > I've learned on this list that some people have a sincere phobia over > talking with another person on the telephone.

Bill, I'm super phone-phobic even though everyone there is always very nice to me. So your job is to ask when the Sparkly Orange Sams are happening.

Toll free 1-(800) 345-3918 Operators are standing by. I've learned on this list that some people have a sincere phobia over talking with another person on the telephone.
