And now for the resolution to this crazy thread. I had called the Portland Islabike dealer and a friendly rep chatted with me on the phone regarding all things Islabike. She eventually got around to asking how I found out about the company, which I then said was due to all of your fine folks. "Wow," she said, "I liked Rivendell before but now I love them!" I ordered the bike in 20 inch large size, and raced to the Craigslist site to list the Giant for sale. The Giant was sold two days after the Islabike's arrival, during which time I kept it secret from my husband. Don't you think it just looks better to your spouse when they know you've sold the other bike? The Giant went to a good home, and I don't think it will be a bad bike for that family.
Lincoln's orange-red Islabike arrived on Tuesday. I was at the SHOT show with a cousin all week, so we did not get the bike assembled until a couple of days ago. When we unboxed it, I couldn't believe how small it looked. I'm VERY glad we sized up. When he stands over the bar, it really is close, so they do know of what they speak; it just looks so different than what I've been used to. The bike is SO light. Lincoln picks it up and carries it, which he thinks is super cool. He sits in the saddle when pedaling (oh, sweet relief) and he can fly up the hills on our way to the park. We haven't done the school commute yet, but we will Monday, and I bet he makes it up the hill without walking his Islabike. I can hardly wait to see. So, how does he look? https://www.flickr.com/photos/daytondogg/24542222076/in/album-72157661891945032/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
