Hey William, I too saw (Ha!) them. They look great and I'm trying to figure a reason to have one. Like you just not in the market yet. ~Hugh On Thursday, June 13, 2013 3:08:49 PM UTC-7, William wrote: > > I hope Riv sells a lot of Swedish axes. I'm not currently in the market, > but you never

On my long ride last month, I saw a fellow who was riding a loaded Surly to the four corners of the U.S. That was fine, as he had sold everything and poured it into the bike and his gear. Hanging off the side of his right rear pannier was a 12-inch frypan, just wobbling out there in the breeze,

I'd actually be quite surprised if the whole thing wasn't some tongue-in-cheek, thinly-veiled, jesting poke meant directly FOR Bike Snob NYC. On Thursday, June 13, 2013 10:14:01 PM UTC-6, cyclot...@gmail.com wrote: > This is just begging for Bike Snob commentary. > > -- You received thi

Riv has sold these before- guessing the better part of ten years ago. I have also sold them in a past life. They were always out of stock where I worked. I believe there was some type of issue at the factory- a fire maybe- that made them difficult to get for a while. They are amazing- there is j

> This is just begging for Bike Snob commentary. If so, it would be typical BS ignorance. Riv's are popular with cycle campers. Campers have been bringing axes along with them since, well, camping started. Dig up a Roman army camp somewhere and I am sure you will find an axe. Maybe a little

I wonder if he bought it or if it was gifted from Grant (who is quite the admirer) as an inside joke. Either way, perfect observations from him. Cheers, David On Thu, Jun 20, 2013 at 1:16 PM, Liesl wrote: > I think it's great that BikeSnob did, in fact, purchase an axe regardless > of the com
