Leah, you basically confirmed what I was saying, not so much who the typical Rivendell buyer is, but who they are not and that is a person who makes a habit of reading Bicycle discussion groups. We are the overzealous, over analytical, OCDs who agonize over tube lengths; we are the exceptions and likely a thorn in Grant's side. If you've been to Rivendell HQ you know there's a luxury sports car dealership right next door (Maserati I believe), my impression of Walnut Creek is pretty much summed up by that. My impression is many of the locals wouldn't think twice about dropping 2 or 3 large on a bike & parking it in the corner of the garage. A very beautiful expensive bike that likely never gets ridden. That to me is kind of the curse of the expensive bike. The North American Handmade Bicycle Show will be in town in March and I am for sure going, if for no other reason than to gawk, but in the back of my mind I am thinking "should I or shouldn't I?" An angel on one shoulder & a devil on the other; certainly a blank check could get me anything I desire. Hmmmmmm . . .
Question is if I get a Custom Retrotech or Blacksheep, etc. Would I ride it? Might it be too precious? I expect I would, but I would have to really think about it and if I have to think about it, is it worth it? Sorry, slightly off topic. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
