I got a nice compliment on my Rivendell Brand V Grab Sack on the way in to work this week. One of the Athleta or Camelback women in the adjacent building was very enamored of the bag, and I showed her the label and repeated the rivbike.com address for her about five times. Her appreciation made my morning. I hope she buys two.
