Friends, After I drove Linda to San Ramon for allergy shots this morning, she agreed that we could visit Rivendell Bicycle Works (RBW) in Walnut Creek, since we were "in the neighborhood."
Here are some photos from our visit, which included my test ride of the very nice Waterford-built RBW Rodeo road bike (51 x 53.5 ctc ST and TT). (The Rodeo handles very nicely and climbs well, but its 53.5 cm TT, normal seat post setback, and short stem were woefully short horizontally for me, sad to say.) It was a great day to be on a great bike. RBW's production lugged-steel frames are built by three (3) suppliers: Mark Nobilette (who also builds RBW's made-to-measure frames costing $3500); Waterford, and a Taiwanese builder. https://flic.kr/s/aHskT1ScyP Linda took a shine to RBW's line of handmade canvas bags, too. ;-) At Vince's suggestion, we ate at the noodle place on North Main before motoring home this afternoon: very tasty! I shared these photos in a similar post to the Classic Rendezvous Google Group earlier today.
