[RBW] Re: Rivendell Bike Models Page - some updates

[James Warren]

Patrick, I agree. I think the Rivendell offerings are amazing, but nothing is perfect. If it were possible, I would love if Rivendell added just one more bike to their line-up, basically one like the Heron road, with that sport geometry you mention, and nice understated looks and a resonably low cost. Lugged, maybe Taiwan, single-color and Heron road type geometry. But still with mini-rack braze-ons! -Jim -----Original Message----- From: PATRICK MOORE Sent: Jan 17, 2009 1:07 PM To: rbw-owners-bunch@googlegroups.com Subject: [RBW] Re: Rivendell Bike Models Page - some updates With the not-so-recent proliferation of high bars, retentionless pedals, fat tires, load capacity, and so on, does Riv have any model that in basic theme if not details corresponds to the RB-1, that is, a decently priced, unpretentious, well performing sport bike? My last Riv was '03 and it as well as the other two were very much in the category of "fast sport bike meant for riding very much exclusively on pavement". I'm not particularly fast, but that's the kind of bike I want for much of my riding. If I want to ride off road, I'll use another bike.

I like it. Atlantis/Ram/Rom/Redwood: that's so 2003. Things change - embrace it. Now it's Atlantis/Homer/Sam/Bombadil/Betty/QB The new regime has more versatility than the old. And with Homer taking Ram's duties, I think things have evolved quite nicely. I wonder if outsiders who just think Rivedell is "old school" can recognize even one bit of the evolution. Fun stuff. -Jim --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
