Excellent shots on your flickr, Aili. I like your Atlantis a lot! There's something especially awesome about how those white-hooded 105 brakelever hoods age. Somebody should do a photo essay of all the shades of brown, grey, black, and white those hoods can become over the decades. On Apr 7, 2:39 pm, Aili wrote: > Another lady lurker here.

I haven't posted simply because I've not much to say, but this thread is bringing me out of the shadows (if only briefly)... Here is a picture of my AHH... http://www.flickr.com/photos/jcaddick/5587292295/ At one year old, this bike has been pure joy for me to ride. Before AHH I was primarily a commuter/utility cyclist - riding my mid-90s Rocky Mountain Fusion mountain bike. Since AHH, I've joined a casual bicycle club (riding most Sundays anywhere from 60-90 km), ridden the 100 km route in two populaires, ridden 122 km in the Whistler GranFondo, and commuted to work and around town. I ♥ my AHH! My favourite comment this weekend from a man walking on the street was "That's the first Rivendell I've seen in this town," to which I replied "there are a few." There are quite a few, actually, but the sight of one is still rare enough for those who know a Rivendell to get excited.

It would be great if more women felt more welcome to delurk.

[RBW] Re: Rivendell chicas
Good to hear from Rivendell Chicas. As an avid-reader-but-seldom- poster of the RBW Owners Bunch, I often lament that there is such a limited involvement from women (myself sadly included). Anne, yours is one of the few women's voices I see regularly, and so it's been sad to see that no one has responded to your post. When I read frequent references to things like "the wife," while I don't assume it is meant to be a put-down, it does contribute to making me feel that I am entering a male space. It's so often used when men are choosing and buying bikes for their women... I have loved few things more than learning about bike design, parts, and outfitting myself so that I can ride all year round here in Minnesota. What an adventure of the heart, spirit, and body. So, perhaps there are folks out there who have the opposite problem of big guys' bikes with their double top tubes and diagatubes and so forth, that seek recommendations for the little bikes, ones that are in the 48 to 52 cm range. For example, I've struggled with saddle bag/ rack combinations for bikes with not much room between the saddle and the fender! I found that Mark's Rack works rwonderfully because its height and distance from the saddle are infinitely adjustable. I've used it with my old Baggins Adam (the just-smaller-than-the-Hoss for you old timers). Also, at a recent--and really enjoyable--visit to Riv HQ, the women's small WoolyWarm vest and button-up, which I believe at one time were boasted in the ever memorable e-less catalog to be appropriate for Baffin Island, fits a 5'2", slightly plump, 50+ year old woman, and the little Hunq is a blast for the same sized/aged person. Maybe I'll even go crazy and post pictures of my 2006 red 50cm Saluki and my 2009 clear-coat Proto Bleriot set up as a poor woman's Quickbeam. Okay women, I'll stop being a lurker if you will. fondly, Liesl On Apr 2, 9:36 pm, Anne Paulson wrote: > On the Cinderella Classic today, my Roadeo didn't feel all alone among > all those carbon fiber thingies.
