Will: While it seems like a gamble to buy a bike, especially a Really Nice Bike, without seeing one, I too can vouch that with Rivendell it works. In '02, I decided to by an Atlantis. When UPS delivered my bike in early '03, I had never even seen any Rivendell live & in person. They built the bike, then did minimal dis-assembly to ship it. It took maybe 30-40 minutes for me to get the bike rolling, and within a few miles I knew this was the nicest riding bike I'd ever owned, in decades of riding. The bike now has well over 50,000 miles of happy riding on it.
I truly hope you can connect with some local Rivendell owners. You will like their bikes and I expect you'll be pleasantly surprised by the people that ride them. dougP On Thursday, February 13, 2014 5:50:55 PM UTC-8, Will Wyatt wrote: > > I'm thinking of getting a Rivendell bike but would like to see one (or > several) first.
