The video downloads and plays just fine.
This is really distressing to see and read about. Both the cluelessly
unattached fender and the thoughtless packing job of your bike. So sorry
for what this shop has put you through.

Leah,
To bad you can not go back and ask the mechanic who installed them. 😂🤦🏻♂️.

It is beyond belief that a bike shop would not have the requisite
bolt. And I'm with Joe: this is beyond slip-shod. I'm sure the

You need one of these. It crimps on the fender and attaches to the seat
stay bridge. 10 minute install and easy to do.

Leah, I'm so envious! I love how you and Roberta are riding together and

The problem isn't so much that you can't part it out as that it's a lot of
hassle. Fine if that's your thing, but there's so many other pefectly good
complete Rivs out there for that kinda money. I can see why he's not getting
much interest.

You are overthinking the U24 thing. The sleeping environment is the least

It's obvious why she loves that bike--riding it feels like one is floating

I think lots of people just don't like the thought of paying top dollar for
a bunch of parts they may not want / the seller clearly doesn't want.
I had offered the seller 2K for the F/F/HS last year, he seemed offended by
the offer.

Oh, Ryan, alas, you are not a Riv girl and there is no bike in this garage big
enough for you.
So, I will just have to strap you onto my rear rack for next year’s gathering.
Don’t worry about it, I can handle it, I carry more weight than that on the

Finally a justified reason to have more Clems than Peterson’s in an Henderson
family. Soon Five Rivendells will likely be in the Original Riv Girl Group
garage. Keep it growing; there can never be to many Rivendell girls on a
coffee outing or in an awkward selfie.
