I have a prediction that in a couple hundred years people will know more about George Washington than they do about whoever the president was in 2020. George wrote down his thoughts and sent real letters that people kept. Who's printing tweets? If I'm wrong let me know. On Feb 11, 9:47 pm, rpe

+1 for what stevep33 says. For me, the way a bike rides is more than the sum of the parts. I got a custom Riv as I knew that Rivendells are great bikes. My Riv rides better than I could have imagined, plus it's gorgeous. As Grant said during one of our conversations, ' don't worry your bike will

I enjoyed the post. I've never really known what kind of tubing my Rivendells were/are made of (Atlantis and Quickbeam). I've had people ask me what kind of tubing is used on my Atlantis and I've had to answer "I don't know". That's the same answer I give when someone asks me how much my bike weigh
