I'm a fan of Rivendell because it slakes (and also increases) my thirst for craft and quality, beauty and utility, fun and freedom — and community, too. Grant, with his writings and with his bicycle designs and with the products he sells, has created a world that I want to live in. In this world I ride fast and climb easily. I eat bacon and never jog. I fell trees with Swedish steel. And my calendar is crowded with Riv rides and with Riv friends.
Now, to somewhat address John's question: Did *design* build Rivendell? For me, no. Words built Rivendell. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
