[RBW] Riv Branding
Five or six years ago, on one of these discussion boards, there was a flame war over whether or not Atlantis/Rambouillet riders could claim the exclusive title of "Rivendell Owner". I usually get antsy for the paint to get hacked up enough that I can have it repainted, sans decals. No decals makes for an attention-grabbing bike! My former plain black Atlantis with no decals got way more public attention than it ever did with the original paint and decals. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

[RBW] Riv Branding
While riding home today I had somebody catch up with me and comment on my bike, asking if it was a Riv. Interestingly, he's been the first to not ask what an AHH was. Most bike companies put their brand on the downtube and the model on the top-tube, but Riv seems to go against the grain (something they NEVER do in any other aspect!!) and put the model name in big letters, but leave the company name relatively obscure. I'm curious... it seems that there'd be some value to Riv to have their name quite prominently displayed, and I know I wouldn't object to it. Anybody know why their bikes deviate from the normal practice? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
