I had been looking forward to visiting RBWHQ for many weeks... I arrived in San Francisco after a few days of killer mountain biking in Colorado, and was on my way up to Healdsburg/Santa Rosa to stay with a friend and ride Annadale State Park. We first took a detour through Oakland out to Walnut Creek. We met Keven Mowen in the showroom, and he was a most gracious host. We test rode a few bikes... I rode a beautiful double-tubed Hillborne, a slightly smaller Hilsen, and (one of my favorites) a Betty Foy... (I may just have to get myself a Gomez)...
There was one orange Riv T-shirt in the rack and it just happened to be a size 2X, which is my size. I walked out with the shirt, a bar of pine soap, and a green Brooks B17 that I picked up at "will call" from Rene Sterental (thanks, Rene, it's gonna look great on my Bomba!!!) My friend loved riding the Hilsen, and as we walked out of the showroom was already talking about selling various bikes/parts to fund a Hilsen of his own. Hey Keven... THANKS SO MUCH for making us feel welcome at Rivendell. It was SUCH a pleasure to see these bikes in person.
