Hey RBW Bunch,
I found the group a week ago and just joined. Thanks for all of the conversations that helps all of us learn and create a good community of biking. I came to know Rivendell about four years ago while searching the internet. I read the philosophy on their website and agreed with it. I rode my bike everywhere until I turned 16 and got a driver’s license. After a few years, I decided to get into riding again, went to the local bike store and got a very uncomfortable crunched up bike. After the Rivendell philosophy, I looked back to when I biked before 16. I rode my brother’s hand me down GT something that was a “hybrid.” It was a big bike, but being big it fit me properly. It was comfortable and it was just a joy to ride. Rivendell brought me back to the joy of riding of when I was 15. I don’t have a Rivendell, but I plan on making a purchase in the very near future. I recently moved to Monterey, CA and only about two hours from RBWHQ. I am looking at getting a Yves Gomez, Hunqapillar, or maybe a Atlantis. I commute to work and like to do general riding on the dirt and road. I can do what I want for riding on all three. It boils down to how they ride. I love a mixte and currently favoring it. I like a Hunqapillar because it is like driving an SUV. I like the Atlantis because of its versatile qualities and also made in USA. I plan on heading up in about a month for test rides. I usually don’t post on forums and more of a lurker. I will give input when I can provide it.
