Why does Rivendell make the begging 'B' and the ending 'L' run off the
sticker? Why not just space the letters closer together so that the whole
name is within the sticker? It looks like a defect to my eye.

The worst rides have indelible lessons. They hold vivid details and lessons
to recall, some because of injury, others for the trials they presented
which were overcome.
The good news is that no one was hurt (done that: still crisp 12 years
later) and you got home, kit intact, to tell of it.

Hi Shawn.
I'm not sure if you have something specific in mind, but I've got a
wheelset built around a pair of (black) Bullseye hubs and Bontrager
Fairlane rims (rear asym). $60+ plus shipping, unless you're local (I'm in
Portland OR). I can come up with some photos if you're interested.
great pics! Wonderful memories for you and your family.
