as with ANY website redesign, we'll adapt and this new version will seem normal in short order.
as a designer, the only critique i'll levy is that it takes too long to navigate to big beautiful images of the 9 bike models. and to me, that's what rivendell is all about. their philosophy, expertise, and aesthetic sensibilities distilled into each and every bike in their line. i feel horrible giving completely unsolicited criticism to something that obviously took significant time and effort (and was indeed well done). but i also say this out of love. i love riv bikes and want as many new customers to experience them as humanly possible. ugh...i hope grant doesn't read this. eric On Tuesday, November 22, 2016 at 2:08:02 PM UTC-5, Patrick Moore wrote: > > Yes, I find the new site somewhat over categorized.
