I rode Patrick's former Motobecane down the California coast from San Francisco to Monterey and back this past weekend. Here's a brief blog post and a link to photos from the ride.

To prove that people appreciate Riv-ish bikes, I received several compliments on the Motobecane, including one young man getting off BART in Berkeley who commented, "Nice build!" --Eric N www.campyonly.com Sent from my iPad2 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
