I appreciate buying widgets that are quality made for years and years of abuse. I find Paul Components stuff to be like that and I find Rivendell bikes are like that.
That hasn’t stopped me from buying and selling a bunch of products from both companies. I figure I just like to change up things sometimes and my tastes have changed over the years. The products from both companies do hold their value fairly well though. I’ve kind gone the route of being primarily a road bike user to mostly a trail bike rider...also a “gravel” rider even though I dislike the term and I think racing culture has taken over some there. Anyway, my bike choices have evolved too during the years. Nowadays I’m more interested in bikes that can be ridden on rockier roads or dirt singletrack but also do fine if I want to ride 20 miles on the roads by my house. I also like having multiple bikes to choose from...like I enjoy having a few different cameras to choose from. I do not really need another bike, but I think a Gus Boots hillbike is probably in my future....it can take over the duties my Trek Fuel is currently doing. I wonder how many people just buy one Rivendell and then keep riding it for 20 years never to be bothered to get another one. I am not one of those people. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
