Andy, this woman who’s living with you (she needs a name, it’s too much to
type), why isn’t she on the List? This the best place for Riv lovers, I think.
Plus, she could have some #RivSisters.
Interesting she’s been doing S24Os - is that what the cool kids in college are
doing now? Is it just

Leah- Our friend objectifies Rivendell and intends to own one. Which model
is unclear. She reads my Bicycle Quarterly magazines, loves the post war
French women riders and the YouTube videos from Rivendell. She's not an
assertive, "hard woman" sort of rider but rather a gentle cyclist of above

Hope you are reunited with the bike soon!
To be honest, this WFH period combined with a string of cold / rainy days
and weeks devastated my bike-budget. Not because the bikes aren't "dialed

shops everywhere, including those here in the East SF Bay Area give me an
uncomfortable sense of dissonance. It is true that the shelter-in-place

I think a lot of us are going to have "color envy" over Leah's new wheels,
but I think you ought to show off your silver ones too! Come on, let us
see these new kicks!

Joyce, what's funny is I got shiney new all silver wheels from Rich @ Riv
yesterday. I didn't even bother to show them on my "Joe's Custom" thread
because Leah's came today and I'm crazy about HER multicolor-spectacular wheels!

Doug,
Well. You’re not wrong. But you know what else? I blame all of you. I used to
be a perfectly reasonable person (with a disconcerting affinity for sparkle),
but now look at how things have gotten. I was tickled to swap my Walmart
