The Dan Blackman poster is so cool! But you are right. Even at the highest 
resolution the image is a little rough. Thank you for sharing though.

FYI - I've had good luck at Walgreens for printing the badge posters, but 
have also done them at OfficeMax. The hi res file is sized at 18" x 24" 
(5400 x 7200 @300dpi). Plenty of frames that size to choose from .

Setting in Flickr changed, and it looks like the poster was on private. 
Should be fine to view and download now.

Or I can buy one from Rivelo,if they might sell it in the future (shameless

pass on some info about the frame and shop:

the frameshop is  house of frames:
 http://cravenallengallery.com/framing/

I talked to the framers and they gave me the whole frame info:

The frame is from bravura moulding at
www.bravuramoulding.com
the frame id number is:
BMC 78-2-CD
CD == Cinnamon/Diamond - which is color + design

Most frame shops should be able to order this frame.

Hope this helps anyone looking for the same.

Looks really good. I like how the darker colors really bring out the color 
of the font.

 I got my Riv poster double matted and framed about a week ago.  I used a 
 dark brown wooden frame, medium charcoal grey matting over a thin dark 
 olive-brown mat.  I have it hung on a green wall, and the whole thing looks 
 like it was designed for my living room.  It's low key, but came out pretty 
 classy.  The photos aren't my best work, but they show what you can do with 
 this print.

Steve,
 Thanks! I didn't decide on the mat. I took it to the frame shop that
framed both of the Hiawatha posters I have and told them I wanted it
framed. I only picked out the frame itself, they took care of the
rest.;

[Allan in Portland]

Yes, very, very nice. I am thoroughly inspired.

Though, this hits on something that always bothers me about framing -- it 
costs considerably more than the art! A frame shop here in Portland has as 
their catch-phrase, Re-frame your art. I've always thought it should be 
re-art your frames. At least, it's much cheaper that way.

And, um, this hits on something that bothers my about bikes -- it costs 
more to build out a frame than the cost of the frame. Argh, frames. :-)

I disagree. I think of it this way. If I like a poster or a picture or
a painting I want to protect and preserve it. A good frame does that.
It's UV-glass so the picture doesn't fade or yellow. It's a solid
frame with a good backing. Any paper used it in is archive-grade. I've
just made sure that this picture can last and stay with me.

It does cost more money, sure,  but it preserves the VALUE to me.

It is important to be able to judge the VALUE of something versus the COST.

Re: [RBW] Re: rivendell poster framed

[Allan in Portland]

No, I get that. And I completely understand the economics for why frames 
cost so much more than prints. However, there's a part of me that can't get 
over that whenever I see a nice print I'd like, that the cost of the print 
is going to be but a small down payment -- internal voice: Wow, nice 
print. Do I like it $25? You bet. Do I like it $125? Umm...

As for the Riv print, yeah, I like it $125+. But still...

Re: [RBW] Re: rivendell poster framed

That was the justification going on in my head:   I bought a poster for 
$20, then spent four times that on a frame, UV-glass, acid-free paper, 
etc., just to be sure that 20, 30 years from now (right when my Rivs are 
getting broken in), I can still be enjoying the poster, instead of it being 
faded out...

[RBW] Re: rivendell poster framed

[pb]

Since the subject is for the moment on-topic, what are anyone's secrets for 
reasonably cost-effective framing?  Last weekend I took a photo of a 
project I recently completed to Aaron Brothers, the stripmall chain framing 
place.  Simple, rectangular frame profile, 3 white mat, 20x30 image.  The 
clerk looked me in the eye, and without giggling, said that'll be $550, how 
would you like to pay?  I explained to her that I was stunned by that 
price, and that I would make other arrangements.
 
I guess I'll look into some of the independents -- maybe it's as simple as 
that.
 
Thanks,
 
Peter

[RBW] Re: rivendell poster framed

[Peter Pesce]

I think anything related to art gets a mark-up similar to what happens when 
you put the word marine or aviation in front of a piece of hardware. 
Or, perhaps, people think the mark up on anything called frame is the same as 
that on eyeglass frames, which is around 1000%. 
To be fair, back in the day an ornate, hand carved and leafed frame was a work 
of art its own right. I don't think a piece of aluminum extrusion chop-sawed to 
length and assembled by a $8/ hr kid is quite the same.
My motto: You can always DIY. If you end up doing a great job, you saved money. 
If you do a lousy job, you'll now know what you pay for!

According to the web site copy of the independent outfit Seth got his from, 
a lot of the chains expect you'll be using a 50% off coupon. $275 for a 
frame that large, assuming it has UV glass doesn't sound too out of line 
(in my admittedly very limited experience).

 Since the subject is for the moment on-topic, what are anyone's secrets 
 for reasonably cost-effective framing?  Last weekend I took a photo of a 
 project I recently completed to Aaron Brothers, the stripmall chain framing 
 place.  Simple, rectangular frame profile, 3 white mat, 20x30 image.  The 
 clerk looked me in the eye, and without giggling, said that'll be $550, how 
 would you like to pay?  I explained to her that I was stunned by that 
 price, and that I would make other arrangements.
  
 I guess I'll look into some of the independents -- maybe it's as simple as 
 that.
  
 Thanks,

I put mine in an Ikea frame, $20. The mat is not quite the right size, so I 
might have that part redone. But the frame is of decent quality at a very 
reasonable price.

Re: [RBW] Re: The Poster--What to do now that you have it

[islaysteve]

I was at a giant antique mall yesterday, and after I realized that I could 
look for frames, I was happy to browse while my wife looked for other 
things.  It occurred to me that what I'd like is an oak frame with a 
Mission or Arts  Crafts vibe.  Didn't find anything yesterday, but who 
knows?  There's a bit of wiggle room on the size, with a custom mat (which 
it will need anyway). Steve

Re: [RBW] Re: The Poster--What to do now that you have it

[Leslie]

At the local Ben Franklin (half-price frame sale right now), I picked a frame 
similar to the one my first Hiawatha Cyclery poster is in, but in cherry 
instead of oak with a bit of matting, and non-reflective UV-protective 
conservation glass, mounted, for about 80... Yeah, more than the poster itself, 
but far less than what the poster will one day cost... 

Have to admit, looking through DLG's catalog, there's several others I *really* 
wish I could afford, but are past my range for posters...

Thanks for sharing this Zack.  I was wondering what DLG would write about 
this poster, having read his other writings on the poster site.  His 
reference to the Sacramento Bee is cool, since I grew up reading (no 
delivering) that paper.I have my poster now and can say that no 
computer image can do it justice.  No one who orders one should be 
disappointed.  Steve

 *In 1957 I was 12 years old. I had a paper route for the Sacramento Bee; 
 I had a bicycle; I had money; I had freedom. That's pretty much what the 
 bicycle meant in the pre-automobile era: freedom. Freedom from parental 
 supervision, to be precise. Pre-automobile in the 1890s meant that there 
 weren't any automobiles yet. Pre-automobile in the 1950s meant that you 
 weren't old enough to drive. When you reached 16 and got your driver's 
 license, you left your bike to your kid brother and cranked up the family 
 Ford. Bicycles were children's toys, something you left behind when you 
 attained a man's estate.*

 *In the 1960s, college students rode bicycles because they were fast, 
 cheap, and campus parking was free. The bicycle again became a symbol of 
 youthful exuberance, anti-establishment hipness and freedom, only this time 
 of freedom from the tyranny and expense of the automobile.*

 *We have become as little children again, riding our bikes and having fun.

To get it vacuum mounted on board will cost you about $30-$50. 

When the Postes begin to cost $100, as they will in the future, a $200 
frame will seem a lot less crazy.

[RBW] Re: The Poster--What to do now that you have it

[Tony Lockhart]

It all dependsdo you want to spend more or less? If you get the posted 
matted, you're going to have to pay more. The upside is that it'll look 
slicker and will probably fit better assuming the poster is not cut at a 
standard size. If you skip the matting, you'll save a bit of money. So, you 
should consider the wall space that you have available, budget, and 
intention. If you really dig the artwork on the poster, have some extra 
cash, then you should spring for a framed/matted poster.

[RBW] Re: The Poster--What to do now that you have it

[Tony Lockhart]

I did the exact same thing---got it pinned to a cork board in the garage 
right above the spot where I park my bike. I've also got one of the Riv 
1-buck-buttons in the bottom left corner just for fun. I'm attaching a 
picture, but I made sure to NOT include the poster.well, not that much 
of the poster.

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-J8p681IrPEM/T-zpygDwuiI/Atg/hE7yKWTxV00/s1600/IMG_1982.JPG
I really like the definition of cherish and the talk about 
*beausage*mentioned above. I think that we (as a society) tend to get fixated 
on 
*things *when we should be focus on the *experiences*. I really like how 
the folks at RBW promote values similar to this. These values are implicit 
in words like beausage and the title of Grant's book. So, for what it's 
worth, I'd definitely encourage others to not think of this poster like 
it's the original Mona Lisa.

 company makes... and by cherish I mean use as often as possible.

 Put another way... pushpin holes are poster-beausage.

And it is now framed (basic poster frame) and hanging on the wall with the 
Rando bling. Looks great. Since we aren't showing the poster, here is the Rando

I second this sentiment and also the suggestion for a goodwill item from 
which to order.  Agree that I would have ordered at a low intro price 
whether $20, 23, 25, etc.  I'm sure that many others here would have also.  
Grant, please consider this.  (Still anxiously awaiting poster delivery

RE: [RBW] Re: The Poster

[John Dilsaver]

The poster, and some other assorted bike stuff, is scheduled to arrive here in 
remote s.w. MO later this morning.   So, I'm curious to see it. 
 Also, I'm having some of my colleagues from work over this weekend, --- I'm a 
high school math/physics teacher in the middle of summer break;--  at school 
I'm usually fortunate enough to get to eat lunch with a group of art teachers 
(sculpture, pottery, drawing, design), -- it's the lunch group that'll be here. 
 I'm interested to see what they think of my new art acquisition. 
 Having an actual art object to show off will be quite a contrast to most of my 
show and tell items at art lunches, -- cool proofs of math theorems, physics 
problems and so forth. . . .

I was going to pick up a frame and then hang it on the wall with my

 spun it. Could be the front wheel was levitated via. a twin-legger, and the

Re: [RBW] Re: The Poster

[islaysteve]

I don't have my poster yet, it's due to arrive on Thursday.  A few comments 
on comments... When I saw the first design, I noticed the boy's foot under 
the wheel and I just assumed that the bike was suspended; either in a 
workstand or hung up some other way.  Grant described the artist coming to 
RBW and taking many many photos.  Who knows, maybe the boy was actually 
doing this to a bike that was suspended.  After looking at most of his 
work, I'm not surprised that the artist used a child in the poster.  I 
think it's perfect for Rivendell, emphasizing the child-like joy that we 
get from our bicycles.   My slight quandry is the Rivendell on the 
downtube, along with a diagatube (sp?).  To me, this implies a custom bike, 
which is entirely possible, of course.  It makes sense that he would put 
Rivendell on the bike instead of Bombadil or another model.  Just wondering 
about the actual bike model.
 
On mounting the poster, I found a good article yesterday and thought I'd 
start a separate post about it, with a link.  As you might imagine, there's 
more to know that (we) know. 
 
I agree with the commenter who was taken aback by the thought of RBW losing 
money on the early posters.  Business decision was made, Grant seems to be 
OK with it.  I'm so glad that this effort is a success for him and RBW.  
Without getting too gushy, he has helped bring another enjoyable object 
into the world.  It's a delight to look at, easy to use, and is available 
for less than the price of a good shirt.  Not to mention that even at the 
new price, it's more affordable than other DLG posters.
Everyone enjoy your poster!  Steve

 I got my poster today, as I was out traveling last week. Everyone who has 
 posted so far has had nothing bad to say about it, so it feels that many in 
 the bunch feel that nothing that comes out of RBW has any flaws at all.
  
 While I like the poster, and do not regret buying it sight unseen, I can't 
 say that it is what I expected it would be. I didn't look at the artist's 
 website so I had no preconceived notions except for what my own sense of 
 excitement at the mention of Rivendell.
  
 Since those who have not bought it yet can actually see what it's about on 
 the Blug section, I'm going to be a bit more specific in my comments:
  
 I like it, but am not overwhelmed by it. What does bother me, though, is 
 seeing the boys foot/shoe showing under the tire. Aesthetically (or 
 whatever term is appropriate) it bugs me because my mind questions how can 
 that be possible. Is he lifting the bike? Doesn't seem so, did then someone 
 rolled the bike over his foot? Doesn't seem so either as the bike doesn't 
 seem to be tilted up. Anyway...
  
 Other than that detail, I believe that like almost all of the RBW frame 
 colors (with the except of the Hunqapillar gray) the more I look at it, the 
 more it will grow on me. That is, unless the issue with the foot under the 
 wheel also makes me more and more uncomfortable...
  
 Can anyone come up with my explanation that allows me to go Aha!!! and 
 makes the whole foot thing make sense?
  
 At least if I end up not liking it at all, I paid the lowest price by 
 buying it unseen. I do like RBW's price escalation scheme as it supports us 
 wild risk takers... :-D
  
 Hope no one gets mad at me for this post...

Once you reach 30 years of age, posters/prints go in frames.

[RBW] Re: The Poster

[Zack]

I have way too many posters to frame them all, would be thousands of 
dollars to do that!  we hang all of our prints up using alligator clips and 
thumbtacks.  (and i am 36).  my wife works at a graphic design firm, so we 
get prints all the time, plus we pick them up from concerts that we go to, 
etc.  i think we have like four framed posters.  

This one might get a frame.

[RBW] Re: The Poster--What to do now that you have it

[Andy Smitty Schmidt]

Perhaps I'm short sighted... I hung mine on the wall with push pins. No 
disrespect to the artist, but In my mind it's just a promo poster for an 
obscure bike company that I like. I figure the heavy paper is so the pins 
won't tear out. The objects to cherish are the bikes that that obscure bike 
company makes... and by cherish I mean use as often as possible.

Put another way... pushpin holes are poster-beausage.

[RBW] Re: The Poster--What to do now that you have it

[William]

I took mine directly to Reprint Mint for professional mounting.  We do a 
lot of poster art in my house, and have had everything mounted there for 
the last 20+years.  We usually do a frameless mounting style.  It's like 
the poster is on a block that's almost an inch thick.

The feet are the best part! Block out the feet and the image loses its

Re: [RBW] Re: The Poster

[Lee Chae]

I felt the same way. If you block the feet with your finger/hand, you lose
the personality of the kid. And the kid is really what the poster is about,
imo. In addition, without the feet he looks imprisoned. Finally, with the
feet, the wheel is free to spin, and that's something kids (including us
big ones) like to do when they see a wheel, give it a spin (at least me and
my little dude like to!).

Re: [RBW] Re: The Poster

LOL Grant!!! You got me looking and looking at the poster... right? Mission
accomplished!

The poster is getting framed with glass and a mat and will be hung in my
office where I'll be able to look at it every day and change how I feel
about it daily as well. Perhaps it will even be the centerpiece of a
section of wall I'm planning to dedicate to my Rivendell bikes' photos.
Currently I have two framed, the one I took on my first S24O to Mt. Diablo
and the one of the Hunqapillar waiting for the train on a foggy January
morning which I converted to BW.

Great stuff and great story!!!

Re: [RBW] Re: The Poster

[lumpy]

frame it up.  Americanframe.com used to have good pricing on custom 
frames/matsor a local frame shop might have something pre-cut that'll 
work just fine.  DLG works do seem to appreciate in value, so don't 
drymount it (seal it to a backing board, some framers will do this) or tack 
it to the wall!

[RBW] Re: The Poster

[Scott A]

I was amazed when I read they'd sold over 600 prints in the blind,
but had the same cringing reaction when I read about the cost vs.
price. Though it's not the same situation, it reminded me of all the
stories you here about small businesses getting into hot water after
offering a Groupon deal: they get stuck fulfilling an oversold deal at
a loss. I do wish that Riv had included a few more bucks of profit in
their price; every business needs margin to survive, and I'm sure most
of us would have still made the purchase at $23-25.

Maybe they could create a catalog item for margin of goodwill or
something for folks who would want to go back and chip in a few extra
bucks. Make it six dollars, and three goes to a charity.

Still watching the mail...
Scott

 Also, on the pricing, while I sure do appreciate the low price for a DLG
 original print, I cringe when I read that RBW was basically selling them
 below cost to early adopters. I want RBW to stay in business and be
 successful for a LONG TIME yet to come... but how can losing money on the
 first 640 posters possibly help that?

Re: [RBW] Re: The Poster

[grant]

Aha---here's a tiny but significant piece of the mysterie pie-thing: As we 
sat around eating a triple-birthday party Indian lunch today between phone 
calls, I mentioned the Feet Thing, and Keven pointed out that during the 
shoot, the bike was held vertical with a double-leg kickstand, and the 
balance point of it was such that the front wheel *was* off the ground. So, 
we reclaim points lost to the Realists, and we mellow slack-cutters win, 
too. Milo was indeed turning the wheel, as you would, too, if you were two 
and a half.

Re: [RBW] Re: The Poster

[René Sterental]

I got my poster today, as I was out traveling last week. Everyone who has
posted so far has had nothing bad to say about it, so it feels that many in
the bunch feel that nothing that comes out of RBW has any flaws at all.

While I like the poster, and do not regret buying it sight unseen, I can't
say that it is what I expected it would be. I didn't look at the artist's
website so I had no preconceived notions except for what my own sense of

I like it, but am not overwhelmed by it. What does bother me, though, is

that be possible. Is he lifting the bike? Doesn't seem so, did then someone
rolled the bike over his foot? Doesn't seem so either as the bike doesn't

Other than that detail, I believe that like almost all of the RBW frame

At least if I end up not liking it at all, I paid the lowest price by

[RBW] Re: The Poster

[dougP]

Rene:

Hadn't noticed the feet before but I think the bike is in a workstand
and the front wheel is off the ground.

FWIW, my wife thought it should have been an Atlantis but we're kinda
partial that way...:)  I love the expression the kid's face.  He
really looks like he's exploring the bike.

Re: [RBW] Re: The Poster

[René Sterental]

Yeah, I had thought that the bike on the stand theory made sense, but my
mind didn't like it because Rivendell bikes are meant to be ridden. It is a
good explanation and does indeed take me in the good direction of Rivendell
inciting curiosity on a child who will then likely want to ride the bike as
he grows older. His expression certainly goes along with this idea, and I
do like it a lot. Rivendell bikes certainly gave me a new cycling life and
I do feel like a child around them.

Thanks for bringing this up and appeasing my troubled mind. I can now look
at it and feel excited about it. Also, as I plan to mount it and display it
in my office, I'll be checking out how many people react at the foot and
that, in itself, will be quite entertaining as well.

What do people feel, is it better to mount it as a poster or to frame it
under glass? H

Re: [RBW] Re: The Poster

[Peter Morgano]

As the brother of an artist I have just come to accept some things as they
are without asking too many questions but it is not easy. Sometimes it
seems stuff is out of perspective or askew but I have learned to take
artistic items in thier totallity.  I am a ceramic artist (unprofessional )
and find people in my art take too much stock in detail, the shape of a
handle, the cut of a lip, etc. Some of my nicest stuff were things that
were done offhand and I had to look at for a while to love them.  Dont let
a foot take away from the total quality of the work, I am gonna frame mine
and try to squeeze it in the meager wall space I have left, my wife hates
to cover the exposed brick, haha.

[RBW] Re: The Poster

[BSWP]

Two further comments:

The thing I noticed right away are the spokes that are coming 'round the 
outside (left side) of the left fork. Just the way my brain works, it zooms 
onto those small details. But the Poster is not a photograph, nor a 
technical drawing - it's an art piece, and it is best appreciated in that 
light. It's beautiful to behold.

Also, on the pricing, while I sure do appreciate the low price for a DLG 
original print, I cringe when I read that RBW was basically selling them 
below cost to early adopters. I want RBW to stay in business and be 
successful for a LONG TIME yet to come... but how can losing money on the 
first 640 posters possibly help that? Maybe they'll serve as advertising 
and drive new customers, but I bet anyone who displays one is already an 
evangelist for the marque.

Re: [RBW] Re: The Poster

[Philip Williamson]

I put my poster up in my new cube, as the first personal touch. When the 
head of IT came by and hassled me about having nothing personal in the 
cubicle, today, I could step aside and say, What? I just put up a poster 
this morning! And then I looked at it and thought, what is going on with 
that kid's feet?

For me, the simple idea of a bike in a workstand with a toddler on the 
loose makes me grimace and curl my hands into fists. I had this horror of 
my toddler losing a finger to my Quickbeam drivetrain. I didn't get a 
workstand until he was 11. 

Bikes... belong solidly on the floor around little kids. So I prefer to 
think that the reason you can see Milo's feet is magic. Levitation, hinting 
at the feeling of flying you get from riding.

Re: [RBW] Re: The Poster

[Pepe Demarest]

Such serendipity!  
Not wanting to spoil the surprise, I never looked at the artist's site. 
When the poster arrived, the style looked familiar, so I looked more 
closely at a poster my wife has had since before our marriage--a poster of 
Cafe Chez Panisse from the same artist.  Needless to say it made talking 
her into letting my hang it in the living room an easier job!

done for RBW is perfect! Thanks to all who made this possible.

Minh:

The reveal is only one color layer at a time so you will be pleasantly
surprised when you get yours  see the finished work.  Included is the
artist's explanation of the process  the short answer is it's quite
exacting and time consuming.  Make sure to shake out the box
completely.

Don't dawdle again, the price will only go up.  Look, it's summer, the
kids can go without shoes for a few months.  Besides, if you order
now, the charge will kinda-sorta get lost in all the vacation
bills. :-)

Re: [RBW] Re: The Poster

[gep71154]

DLG likes to show the posters on his site, and I don't know if it's there 
now, but I told him go ahead...since I didn't want to make him part of the 
waiting/surprise game--which he seemed happy to do, but ... so that led to 
the slow-leak thing we're showing on the BLUG. 
I am really so glad that you-all like it. It was a nervous thing. I mean, 
many of us here (Bay Area) are familiar with his work, and it was a 
dumb-huge-irresponsible thing for us to go forward with it, considering how 
crummy our French posters sell---for a lot less. I really thought we'd have 
a ten-year supply.
I'm also glad nobody has taken me to the mat for not showing. It could 
have been construed (tho incorrectly) as manipulative or weirdish power or 
something. We, here, had 2+ years of wondering what it would be like, and 
it's fun to know it'll be Not Bad and Worst, and yet not to know any of the 
details. 
He came by and shot Milo (Keven's son, then 1.5) for an hour or so, took 
250 or so photos and said only ONE was just right, and this is it. So, he 
signed one to Milo, which Milo will have when he's 60, and that'll be kind 
of neat. Anyway, I just want to say thank you all for being so nice and for 
liking it, and for putting up with some shenannigans that aren't meant to 
be bad, but aren't smooth and normal. This has been a wonderful experience. 
Goines was shocked that we could sell more than 640 posters without anybody 
seeing one. But, if you know his work, you know it's...a tiny gamble.
Yes, thanks..

Re: [RBW] Re: The Poster

[Marty]

 Thanks for the #3 reveal Grant, and no, it's not on his site - yet - at 
 least as of this writing. I expect to see the full reveal when mine shows 
 up on Tuesday. Honestly, I'm already more than pleased. Inspired really.
