[RBW] Re: Things I wish Rivendell still sold..
I consider my RBW cycling jersey an heirloom-worthy treasure. Yesterday, I completed day one of the KC MS 150 on my Simpleone. I received several compliments on the bike, but many more positive comments on the jersey. I would happily buy another (or two).

[RBW] Re: Future Rivs
Personally, Riv offers enough current options for adults. Would love to see Grant put his mind to qork on an age 9+ bike. It is really awful to shop for kids bikes to find hydraulic, knobby tired mountain bikes with too many gears. Too much emphasisnon the wrong things.

[RBW] Re: Any Plans For A New RBW Wool Jeresy?
+1 (or 2) for a jersey. Love the look, feel and fit of my green SS jersey. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

[RBW] Re: Grant refers to this helmet guy for some reason
To each their own. I ride with a helmet. I ski with a helmet. Will either save me from a catastrophic collision? Unlikely. Could they mean the difference between a slight concussion and a brain bleed leading to death. Does wearing a helmet cause me to think that I am somehow immortal or impervious to harm. Hardly. I see enough drivers on the road texting and cell phoning to know that I am one inattentive driver away from destiny. It does me no harm to wear the helmet, but I don't want to argue about the topic with others. Personally, I figure that Darwinian principles will win out and we will see fewer non-helmeted bicyclists and skiers as the generations move on. My dad always said that we were free to choose our own vices. To each their own. Luke McGlynn -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

[RBW] Re: Patagonia Dumps Sigg Over BPA Issue
I have to agree with James. Let's cool down the rhetoric about SIGG's hypocrisy until we can live a life that is devoid of criticism. Tests showed no leaching; SIGG has offered to replace the bottles; let's let them play this out. Regards, Luke On Sep 20, 11:40 am, James Valiensi valie...@mac.com wrote: Hullo, SIGG had the old liners tested by a independent tester and the results shown that the SIGG bottles did not leach anything. So even though the liners contain BPA it will not get into your water. Why the massive rush to return your SIGG bottles? How's about the environmental impact of that? I'm keeping mine. And even if I feared leaching of BPA from the SIGG liner I'd still would send them back, I'd find another use for them and buy some new ones. No need to waste them. Cheers!

But at least from the address for returns, it seems Sigg hired a service here in the U.S. to handle the process. It could be their employees still need to vett each return and enter the online data for the replacement order. I have no idea about that.

I have no idea how many bottles Sigg sold in those years, but it's bound to be considerable) of returns. There might be five or ten people processing all of the US returns and with our tendency to instant-on panic mode over things like this there are going to be a lot of returns here. It's not going to be an fast process, give it some time. Again, think about Rivendell having to deal with a recall on one of their products. They'd have to assign some of their limited staff to deal with that but would still be doing business as usual. Everything would be slower- new order fulfillment as well as processing the recall. All the RBW folks would (hopefully) understand this- because Rivendell is not a faceless corporation to us- and cut them some slack. We should do the same with Sigg. James Valiensi, P.E. C.E.M.
