Finally made my way east for a holiday visit to Rivendell Bicycle Works (both the showroom and the new downtown retail storefront - "Rivendell Book Bike & Hatchet"). After hanging out and catching up a bit, Mark and Dave brought to my attention that spread around the parking lot and lounge were not one but FIVE (actually SIX if you count the unbuilt frameset..) Rivendell Cross bikes - 4 Legolas and two RBW CX models!

(ok, there was that one weird outlier that showed up at a NAHBS, but arguably that was the terducken of RBW), and the fact that these were all within egg-toss distance of one another was pretty danged impressive. The other impressive thing was just down in the 1600 block North Main - the Rivendell Book, Bike & Hatchet store. Found gifts-I-didn't-know-I-needed for my wife and a friend (yeah, yeah... and something for me too.) Grant and Will were manning the store, helping interested folks and selling stuff as we chatted. Bumped into a list-member, too! An hour passed by way too quickly. If you haven't been over there, it's worth a trip. - Jim / cyclofiend.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
