I have a similar story. I ordered my shoes on July 27 and inquired last week as well. I received the exact same nice reply. Since then I've not heard back from the "order team" and no shoes have arrived. On Monday, September 24, 2018 at 11:00:47 AM UTC-4, masmojo wrote: > > I contacted them abou

[RBW] Re: I RECEIVED MY SOLEREBEL SHOES

I just received my today tool. They are pretty well built, really comfortable, and look great. But they are about a half size too small. Maybe they will stretch if I walk around the house long enough with them. I'm not thinking of sending mine back either. Just glad they arrived, happy that the

Thanks for all the responses. And thanks to a number of very nice offers, I've been able to find a great 51 App frame that will work really well. To chime in on the sizing issue, my friend is not a fan of close top tubes and since she is in the upper PBH range for the App I think it will be perf

I really appreciate and respect everything about Riv and Grant's ability to push the boundaries of "normal" bikes and parts, and have introduced many folks to them who are glad to now be part of the "club." So I'm happy to buy a few gift certificates when Grant throws out a request - I'd much r

I've decided to free up some garage space so my wonderful Appaloosa is up for sale. It's a silver 58cm, double top tube earlier model, but not sure about the year it was made (maybe two iterations ago?). As you can see from the pics, it is in very excellent condition with just some slight disco
