The bike he was riding was a Ritchey Road Logic. My wife's Ritchey Road Logic frame is half the weight of a Roadini or Hilsen. If a Ritchey Road Logic is able to withstand that type of abuse rest assured your much beefier Rivendell can handle anything you're willing to ride. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
