Ted, Thanks for your response, and for your role in bringing this bike to market. As Steve says, the Heron represents an important chapter in Riv history. I own one of the later Heron Roads that I purchased from one of the dealers in 2003, and I still treasure the bike after many years of riding

That's really cool. If you can "Dropbox" it, people could probably have the file printed at a local-to-them photo store or "service bureau." I'm going to guess ~$60 for a large-format print.

One more time! (With apologies to James - I know there are more than a few one-offs/prototypes etc, but I'm going to give it a rest for now.) Here's the semi-final poster, with Herons added, along with another nice custom. I would have loved to add that wonderful "mountain mixte" custom they did

Marty, I would suggest inclusion of the Heron models, Road and Touring. These were designed by Grant, made by Waterford, sold direct by RBW for a time, and precursors of the Rambouillet and Atlantis as I understand it. There are several pics of both available on Cyclofiend's website. On Dec 10, 9
