Hey, I'm old.
I ride a lugged steel Rivendell bike.
All my spandex clad, carbon riding, narrow tire bike friends already
know I'm boring.

and yup, when I want to get my heart rate up, I take a look at the i-
bob list.

He's right, but constant talk about Riv stuff is... a bit boring.
Kind of like discussing Led Zeppelin-there's only some many ways to
beat the limited number of songs to death, until you've said all there
is to say-several times.

Hey all -
As I mentioned in the State of the List Report, I have a work
project which
is taking a significant amount of time and energy right now.
Thought I've
been able to track and comment on a few posts as a list member, I
really
hadn't been going through all the postings with my admin hat on.
This may be a little blunt, as I need to get out the door (to work,
rather
than what is shaping up to be one of the most gorgeous days in
memory on
which the Lighthouse 200K was run...grrrr....)
I appreciate that everyone kept a respectful tone during the OT
threads
which cropped up in the past week. That speaks a great deal about
the
people in this group who are committed to one of the core principles.
But, I will ask people to remember that OT threads are OT. The
topic of
discussion within this group is defined on the main group page:
"Dedicated to the discussion of Rivendell Bicycles and products,
you don't
need to own one - just an interest in RBW designs is enough to join
in. Ride
reports encouraged, as is a respectful, supportive and polite tone
in all
posts.
This group is not endorsed by Rivendell Bicycle Works."
I'm in the habit of letting marginally OT threads exist, in the
hopes that
they will end of themselves. It always (or only, depending upon your
perspective) takes two people to propogate such a discussion. So,
I would
ask that if you find yourself to be one of those people, please
stop or take
it to an off-list channel.
I'm aware of how the discussions began and how it arched to where
it ended,
and honestly am pleased to see that they seem to have now been
dropped.
The strength of this group is a product of its focus and the
quality of the
information and responses.
Hope everyone can have a great ride today!
- Jim / list admin
