I echo Geoff's comments about wasting money before discovering Rivendell (thank you Jim Thill, Owner of Hiawatha Cyclery for arranging a test ride of a customer's bike, namely Eric's "Hillgreen"). I had most recently been riding my ill-fitting mountain bike for the past month in the Minnesota winter crud when suddenly, we rec'd a rare window of 50° sunny weather. I pulled my Homer out of storage and went for a ride; I swear the clouds parted, sunbeams lit my face and angels began singing, Halleliuah, Halleliuah. It fits and rides that good. Unfortunately, it took 12 ill-fitting bike prior bike purchases before discovering it.
Back to the topic, I've been actively trying to fill the void of a Trek 510 I had in the early 70's, the lowest end model of their so-called silver-brazed lugged, steel bikes. Also, a Marin Tange-tube, steel-fork mountain bike that I'd pay top dollar to get back for winter riding. Personally, I wish I had never learned the word, "sell" when it comes to bicycles. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
