Heh - just looked at the photo. Didn't think it was that different.
Just what folks were wearing at the time. (Found a copy of R2R at a
used bookstore last summer.)
As to the LOTR/Hobbit. Been a fan since junior high. Used to be
pretty obsessive about collecting Tolkein items. But recently c

As it appears that Tolkeinalia is being tolerated for now...
My first exposure to LOTR was in the summer of 1970 at age 12. I've
lost count of how many times I've read it. Reading The Hobbit and all
of LOTR aloud to my children is a cherished memory, and I treasure the

Although I was a LOTR reader, I learned of Grant by buying his "Roads
to Ride" books when I first moved to the Bay Area. Back when Pig Farm
Hill still had pigs. Good books, and I still refer to them
occasionally. Through that I learned of BOB and then, eventually, Riv.

I guess I came into this the opposite way. I was a BOB, Bridgestone Owner's
Bunch member that ended up on the Rivendell mailing list when GP started the
company. Although I read the Hobbit and LOTR in middle school, I didn't
really make the connection right away. It had been fourteen years or so

I think you must mean 1997, or 1998.

Well, I think you have to go with a squadron of Bleriots!
I found Rivendell by doing an net search for steel bikes... I had no
idea the word had anything to do with LOTR! Heck, I just figured out
Legolas was an elf or something like that...never was much of a LOTR
fan.

Somewhat different for me. A couple of years ago, after hitting my
first weight loss goal, decided to "treat" myself to a steel bike.
Had a particular local shop in mind, and ended up with a Bianchi
Volpe. After the purchase, decided to do a more in-depth on-line
search about the bike. That lat
