[RBW] It Was the Worst of Times, It Was the Best of Times

Great thread! Great story! About a week ago I saw a very similar doormat in a North Dallas Target store. Paul in Dallas -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails fr

Glad to help! Just spreading the joy I felt when I visited. Angry Catfish is another excellent bike shop, but it's on the south side. I was in MPLS for an All-City bike launch promo event last fall. We (All-City brand folks and team riders, One on One shop guys, Anna Schwinn, others) ended up p

Re: [RBW] It Was the Worst of Times, It Was the Best of Times

Tim Gavin, I’ve really got to thank you for that bike shop recommendation. I haven’t even gotten to study the whole site yet but what I saw was thrilling. And I’m pretty sure it’s not far from my D&H’s home! I may swing by his summer when I’m in town visiting my family. So much thanks! -- You

Re: [RBW] It Was the Worst of Times, It Was the Best of Times

Ah yes, the bell is most definitely the priority ;) Anyway, I checked their website, and the last of the large saddlesacks has sold (sad to see go the most fab bag ever), and the medium size are almost gone too, just some sapphire ones left. But rumor has it new colors and a slightly new design

Love it. I have to get one of these doormats. Grant, if you’re reading this post how about a Rivendell inspired mat? I believe they would sell out in a heartbeat. Thanks! Richard Sent from my iPhone > On May 19, 2018, at 3:09 PM, Leah Peterson wrote: > > I don’t know why the photo is sidewa

Ryan, my heart! That was so sweet, and thank you so much. Now, look at this photo. Ha! Not as pretty as your wife’s doormat, but I found it at Target some time back and it’s reminiscent of TBBITW. My friend - who has an Etsy shop and also loves bicycles - made the scarf. -- You received this

Re: [RBW] It Was the Worst of Times, It Was the Best of Times

It's so good to "see" you on here, Ana PurpleRivGirl! I know - I had the same thoughts as you did. Why have one rack when you can have two? I spent my allotted bike cash on his bell, basket, net and mud flaps, so I'll wait on the front rack/Sackville bags now, but Christmas is coming!!! -- Yo

Gene Oberpriller. Now there is a name I have not heard in a long time. I used to get Velo News and several monthly magazine back in the pre internet days and his name would come through on occasion. On Friday, May 18, 2018 at 12:49:52 PM UTC-4, Tim Gavin wrote: > > Congratulations! > > If you

Love this story, Leah :) It will come as no surprise to you that I vote that you get a front rack for the Wald basket and for the rear get a fabulous saddlesack! He’ll love it! Happy #rivshopping :) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch"

Well done for all involved. He may need a blue banana sack to go with those blue mudflaps. One caveat, if it's the only one left, don't. I'm still deciding between the blue and the gray! Looking forward to the photos. john On Friday, May 18, 2018 at 12:10:40 PM UTC-7, Bicycle Belle Ding Din

I have no build advice, but I do say that (1) I wish I had the income of an attorney at a big firm, and (2) that I had nice family to take some of that money and buy me a nice Rivendell (I'd choose a Roadeo). I'll watch this thread for developments. Besides the build (and the statutory photos), I'

Thank you all for your warm regards! I felt so happy to be among like-minded folks who know the thrill of a very first Rivendell. Also in my inbox was a note from Christopher Murray, resident of God's Country (that's North Dakota, where I also hail from), enclosing his Hail Mary credit for use o

Wonderful story! Thank you for sharing. Your brother in law will eventually say to himself: “wish I had discovered Rivendell sooner”. Just remember to lock it up at night! You made my day as well:-) Richard -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owne

[RBW] It Was the Worst of Times, It Was the Best of Times

Today started out with an early morning call from my sister, who said her husband's old Specialized hybrid bike had been stolen from their yard. The prior evening, her husband (who I'll call D), in his haste to greet his wife and Rhodesian Ridgeback dog, ditched his trusty old green steed in the
