"All Atlantis owners are hipsters under the skin. Mitch Browne" Good one! As a multiple-Rivendell owner over the years, I've never owned an Atlantis, even though it's the Riv frame that is closest to my wants/ needs. My reasoning is simple...I'm not cool enough to ride an Atlantis, and deep dow

I'm going with Mitch on this one. I used to secretly yearn to be hip but found myself on the trailing edge of whatever is cool, so I just gave it up as yet another unattainable goal. And now I find my choice of bicycle is cool! A few years ago, a couple of my touring buds & I were coming down th

No conversation of Riv-Hip-Ness would be complete without these 2 words... Tall Riv. I haven't seen or heard of one but someone will do it if it hasn't already been done. --Andy On Wednesday, June 13, 2012 1:54:55 PM UTC-7, Darin G. wrote: > > I ordered a sandwich from Jimmy John's this after

And if you are gonna make a tall Riv use the double top tube models to climb up it like a latter. On Wednesday, June 13, 2012 8:35:28 PM UTC-7, Andy Smitty Schmidt wrote: > > No conversation of Riv-Hip-Ness would be complete without these 2 words... > Tall Riv. I haven't seen or heard of one bu

Tall Riv with Xtracycle--that would be something to see! I see a fair amount of Rivs around town. I was heading out on my Hilsen yesterday and passed a women riding a Bleriot with Albatross bars. A great bike. I feel like I see a fair amount of Rivs around town. I also feel like I'm seeing more

Jim observed that "I always find it surprising that people in other places don't see more Rivs in the wild. I see several per week aside from my job. Minneapolis must be a hotbed of misfits!" I hear there is a really active Rivendell dealer in the Twin Cities; that may account some for the popular

There are at least 4 Rivs (and one Heron) in Chiang Mai, Thailand. One I recruited at the local organic farmer's market, one I have never seen. I ride regularly with the recruit (Paul) and an old-timer Rivver (Kip) who I saw on this list lived in CM. We also met Doug P when he came through town, th

I'd almost be willing to bet that the majority of the Rivendell bikes in the Twin Cities were not sold by Jim at Hiawatha. At the book signing, there were a good half dozen Rivendell bikes I've not seen in person before. Eric Platt Misfit and proud of it On Thu, Jun 14, 2012 at 11:52 AM, dougP w
