This is my first year riding a road bike in decades; I've been participating in bike rallies in North Texas.
I continue to be surprised at the number of folks who recognize a Rivendell. Every ride that I've been on, several folks have come up and said how nice the bike looks (particularly the lugs). In contrast, I'd be hard pressed to discern a Rivendell bike from 10 feet away. Yesterday, at the Germanfest rally in Muenster, however, someone sprang a new comment on me: "It is great to see an ancient bike being ridden in this rally... Is it Italian?" He was surprised when I told him the bike wasn't even a year old, and designed in California. Perhaps I should start dressing the part in knickers and a seer sucker shirt, with a leather hairnet. ;) robert --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
