Thankful to Riv/Grant; 1. Just Ride and Eat Bacon... Both changed my life for the better. 2. This community, it's my favorite semi-virtual group. 3. The HHH - not my first Riv, and I'm only 9 months in but this bike delivers on its promises in a way that is rare in bikes or any other item. H

The ineffable Rivendell signature ride: stable, but no sluggishness or dartiness in the turn, and seamless transition. Grant's saddle and bar setup advice: move saddle lower and back, and bar higher and back. Works for me. Keeping saddlebags and Carradice on the US market, and improving on Carrad

I'm thankful for Grant/Riv teaching me about leather saddles and riding without clingy Lycra padded shorts. A Brooks B17, wool underwear and baggy MUSA shorts/pants completely changed/improved how I ride my bike, as well as becoming my defacto uniform off the bike, too. This includes Pletscher

The walking staff! I saw that live in person, along with Bhima's very trashed Ram hanging on the wall. I'm thankful for meeting him and hope he's doing well these days. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from t

Och! Aye. I am thankful for two bikes that ride smooth lines easily, with great stability, and ability to haul enough stuff for all weather riding. House to paved to dirt to singletrack with aplumb. Back-a-bike panniers and saddlebags that are the Scottish waxed cotton. It holds up to everythin

I’m thankful for this group of like-minded funtime cyclists. I’m thankful for all the Readers past, full of useful and interesting info, like “how to traverse,” and Bhima’s lugged walking staff. I’m thankful for my Quickbeam, and how versatile it is, and attractive, and comfortable to ride. Tha

I’m thankful for Grant’s aphorism “Just Ride”. It has provided me with a perspective on cycling that has made it more enjoyable than ever. Rather than being just an activity for exercise, cycling has evolved into an integral part of my life and lifestyle. Thanks, Grant! John (Who is also t

Regarding the safety triangles, they are also about the closest thing to a Riv flag or identifier outside of an actual Rivendell bicycle. When you see one on a bike, there is a 69.8% chance the owner is a fan of Rivendell. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Gr

Wish lists can be fun and interesting, but in the spirit of Thanksgiving, here are three Rivendell offerings that I am thankful for, past or present. Clementine. Only Rivendell could have gotten me to think a non-mixte step-through was the bee's knees. A great all-arounder, it also substantiall
