rmmose: Thanks for the thoughts. In my case, I create a link to my album but can't share it because my phone (apple) doesn't recognize the riv owners bunch. As in, it is not listed in my contacts, even though I added it to my contacts. Make sense? Sort of? John On Wednesday, May 2

[RBW] FS: Quoc Gran Tourer shoes, 44

Hi Rivsters. For your consideration are a pair of gorgeous Quoc shoes. These are New, in Box, never used, nor have cleats been mounted. Unfortunately, they feel just slightly too small, so I want to try and pass them on to someone for whom they're "just right". The reason I took the plunge is
