You won’t believe this - I was riding my Cheviot in Simi Valley tonight, about to rejoin the bike path after a quick hill detour, when someone called out “Is that a Rivendell?” Turns out I ran into Maia on her new Platy, and Will! We had a good chat about components and how wonderful the bikes are. What are the odds? I of course told them I am waiting on delivery of my son’s Platy 55 lime
