Fred, you aren't too too far from me (I am in Harrisburg). Are you by any chance doing the Lancaster covered bridge ride in August? On Sunday, July 7, 2013 1:03:03 PM UTC-4, hsmitham wrote: Went out for a short ramble South of Del Mar through Torrey Pines reserve and just happened to run

Within a few weeks here in Vancouver, B.C. I came across three Bleriots ( one was a 57 cm that was finally sold at a shop after being stored for awhile ) and one Bleriot had a white unicrown disc fork on it which looked, well, very odd and out of place. Also a girl was riding a Hilsen with

There was once a Riv Owners map created in Google Maps (2010) and added to via the RBW group but it looks inactive: http://www.renaissancebicycles.com/interactive-google-maps/rivendell-owners-map/ Here's a map via FlickR of the photos posted by Riv Owners who marked their location:

Nice to know, Hugh. If you happen to be down from Sunland with your bike, let me know. I am pretty easy to ride with. I have a family with all girls and one small boy dog (Louie). None of them ride except Louie (sits in his bed in the Wald basket and comfortably stays leashed to the

Nice bike Tom. I had a Hillborne and enjoyed it a lot. I live a few miles north of you in Carlsbad. I ride along the coast down to your area quite often too. No Riv at this time but I have a few lugged steel customs with plenty of Riv parts. ~mike -- You received this message because you

In Philly? Seems rare. I have two - SimpleOne and Hillborne. I see a red All-Rounder (I think) some mornings. To be fair though we have Bilenky's every 30 feet it seems! -J -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group. To unsubscribe

Lugged steel customs with plenty of Riv parts sounds pretty cool to me. I have seen Boxer bicycles, Boulder bicycles, and Seven (OK, OK, one of theirs is titanium). Some of the special projects I have seen are gorgeous Llewellyn

Please allow me to introduce myself. I am Tom Virgil and a Samuel Hillborne rider. The new Rivendell bike entered my life in late May 2013. I am still dialing the Sam in. I live in Del Mar Heights, but often ride out to the beach on Carmel Valley Road. You just might see another Rivendell

This just goes to show how warped my perspective is. I live in Oakland, just 10 miles or so from Riv headquarters, and I see several Rivs every week. I guess I'd begun to think of them as mass-produced. Andre On Sunday, July 7, 2013 10:03:03 AM UTC-7, hsmitham wrote: Went out for a short

Well, I'm no mathematician, but I used to watch Numb3ers... It would seem on a straight percentage of bikes analysis, given the large number of bicycles and the small percentage of Riv's in the count, the odds would be pretty low. But, you have to factor in the percentage of RBW riders who Go

I just happened to see a mustached Hilsen ride by as I went the opposite way on M-89 in Michigan yesterday. In the past I have run across 2 Hillbornes, a Quickbeam and a Ramboulet, not too bad for a county of 300K in the midwest. Marc On Sunday, July 7, 2013 1:03:03 PM UTC-4, hsmitham
