I know that this group of folks see Rivendells as immensely practical bikes, which they are, but they're also boutique, premium bikes. With this in mind I think it's pretty reasonable that one would pick out the frameset they want, save up the money, and wait for availability and be ready to go as soon as they are. The decision to buy one ought to be before they're available. That said, I do hope they are able to stock more again soon: ideally there'd be two or three models available in most sizes at any given time and they'd rotate through the catalog every couple years this way.
I know I am personally terrible for hanging onto one bike for a long time, but that's what people should be doing with a Rivendell, so these waits of a few months to maybe a year or two would only happen a couple times in a rider's lifetime, or even only once. I hope to put 50,000 km on my Sam Hillborne.. that's my goal! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
