Hello! TK – short for “to come” – is a publishing staple I learned about in my computer magazine editing days. As you worked on a piece, you might insert “TK” in place of a word, name, phrase, sentence, or paragraph as a reminder to indicate you hadn’t forgotten anything, but you just hadn’t

Back in the day of rec.bicycles.tech, mid-90s, I saw a note about Grant starting his own bike business. I'd like everything he'd done at Bridgestone, had a beloved RB-1, and received one of his first catalogs. Loved every bit of it. I'd been racing road and mountain bikes, and had become disi

You can, but Riv recently initiated a 10% "restocking fee" to discourage that. That was back in August, so not sure that is still the case. Collin in Sactown On Saturday, December 18, 2021 at 12:32:56 PM UTC-8 fra...@gmail.com wrote: > Hadn’t even thought of canceling my order… I guess it would

I rode Bridgestones back in the day, starting with my first new mountain bike, an MB-4. My local shop was a Bridgestone dealer so I saw all of models come through over the years. I eventually purchased an RB-2 as well and pined away over the XO-1. I loved the Bridgestone catalogs and Grant'
