Fred, you aren't too too far from me (I am in Harrisburg).  Are you by any 
chance doing the Lancaster covered bridge ride in August?

Re: [RBW] Re: Rivendell sighting what are the odds?

[Tom Virgil]

Nice to know, Hugh.  If you happen to be down from Sunland with your bike, 
let me know.  I am pretty easy to ride with.  I have a family with all 
girls and one small boy dog (Louie).  None of them ride except Louie (sits 
in his bed in the Wald basket and comfortably stays leashed to the basket). 
 My training/exercise rides are usually 15 - 20 miles at an average 12 mph 
(Del Mar Heights is steep hill country).  If I go longer for a day ride, I 
like to have some goal in mind like riding to a campground or park 
destination, cooking some lunch, and reading a book for a while.

Having a Samuel Hillborne is changing things up, though.  I take a lot more 
short sprints through the neighborhood and up to Del Mar Highlands to shop 
in street clothes and even flip flops.  Ralphs and CVS let me take Sam in 
with me and I use the Wald basket for my shopping cart.  It is like being a 
kid again.  Jump on the bike and go.

Thanks for your reply,

Tom

There was once a Riv Owners map created in Google Maps (2010) and added to

  Within a few weeks here in Vancouver, B.C. I came across three Bleriots ( 
one was a 57 cm that was finally sold at a shop after being stored for 
awhile ) and one Bleriot had a white unicrown disc fork on it which looked, 
well, very odd and out of place. Also a girl was riding a Hilsen with Honjo 
fenders - although she was going the opposite direction on a MUP. I also 
purchased a Romulus frame locally and built it up.

Lugged steel customs with plenty of Riv parts sounds pretty cool to me.  I 
have seen Boxer bicycles, Boulder bicycles, and Seven (OK, OK, one of 
theirs is titanium).  Some of the special projects I have seen are gorgeous 
Llewellyn 
Voyageur(well
 beyond my budget, though).

Please allow me to introduce myself.  I am Tom Virgil and a Samuel 
Hillborne rider.  The new Rivendell bike entered my life in late May 2013. 
 I am still dialing the Sam in.  I live in Del Mar Heights, but often ride 
out to the beach on Carmel Valley Road.  You just might see another 
Rivendell out there; it's me.  I would be delighted to see one other than 
my own.  I am extremely pleased with my bike, but exercising some patience 
through the "honeymoon" before posting pros and cons.  I had great 
technical and sales support from Jared at Rivendell.  You can see my bike 
here .

Best regards,

Tom

This just goes to show how warped my perspective is. I live in Oakland, 
just 10 miles or so from Riv headquarters, and I see several Rivs every 
week. I guess I'd begun to think of them as mass-produced.

I just happened to see a mustached Hilsen ride by as I went the opposite 
way on M-89 in Michigan yesterday.   In the past I have run across 2 
Hillbornes, a Quickbeam and a Ramboulet, not too bad for a county of 300K 
in the midwest.

[RBW] Re: Rivendell sighting what are the odds?

[Cyclofiend Jim]

Well, I'm no mathematician, but I used to watch "Numb3ers"...

It would seem on a straight percentage of bikes analysis, given the large 
number of bicycles and the small percentage of Riv's in the count, the odds 
would be pretty low. But, you have to factor in the percentage of RBW 
riders who Go Anywhere (variable 1) and Seek Fun (variable 2).   Also, 
there's a strong tendency for MCRB's tend to stop at the edge of smooth 
pavement, strongly filtering out those bicycles which cannot use 
appropriate and versatile tire sizes .  That would tend to lead RBW folks 
to similar locations, and since it's so easy to recognize one another from 
the bugs in our teeth (due to constant smiling) and the eye-catching color 
hues of our frames, I'd have to say that your chances of interacting with a 
Rivendell Rider on a given ride are reasonably high.
