[RBW] First RBW visit
I didn't take any pics at Riv, since I've already seen pics of pretty much everything I saw there. I did take a quick spin on one of the Appaloosa bikes, though this one had a Riv head badge, not an Appaloosa head badge. The one I tried had 650B wheels. It was a stately, regal experience to ride such a stable, upright, luxurious feeling bike. That said, it probably isn't my cup of tea. Or maybe it is. Come to think of it, I have at least one photo of the employee bike rack to post to Facebook. And I think I already posted a photo of a super-long reach caliper brake that was lying around. Makes a person wonder. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

[RBW] First RBW visit
After about 9 years of being a Riv fan/rider/dealer, I made my first visit to Riv today. I walked into the showroom, and there is Grant sitting at a table in the middle of the room having an intense discussion with a Frenchish sorta man who I presume to be Yves Gomez. Unfortunately Grant wasn't available to chitchat, but Mark and Brian invited me in for coffee and to talk shop. What a great bunch! Brian gave me some instruction about where to camp in the Diablo foothills nearby. Surely I bungled his directions, but I think I found a pretty good spot on the top of a big hill. The view is nice, but the sun just set, and it's getting chilly. I guess I'll set up my tent. Happy new year everybody! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.
