Thanks for the post Tony. I have been a long time member here, huge fan of what Grant has done in the past, and doing now, even had a Rivendell pass through the stable. There are some similarities in our programs, but the Rambler is on a solidly different path then the Riv Bikes. I will admit that Grant's writings from the early readers forward are part of what had me convinced I can pull this venture off. For all of those watching, he was/is dead on with all the cash flow realities, stress and other general grousing. There are times that this brings me great joy, and then there are the moments that I am convinced he, , Bruce Gordon, Richard Schwinn and all the other bike industry folks that remind outsiders to keep their day jobs are right on. Selling new semi luxury goods into a receding market is daunting to say the least. I am still convinced it is the right path for me at the moment, and thank you to all that help spread the word and blow a little hot air on our coals, it keeps the fire burning.
