[RBW] Keven Sighting on Riv Instagram

[Joe Bernard]

I love Keven's almost-a-cargo-Rivbike. I want one just like it with the rack no 
one can afford!

I guess I got the last cheapish barwrap job outta Grant. I won't say how much, 
but it definitely wasn't $120. Thanks, Grant!

It's interesting to see a Riv with a trigger shifter as an option. I've run a 
bunch of them on pullback bars and aside from no friction option - I don't 
care, I've never had a trigger give up and make me wish I could shift without 
the clicks - they're fabulous. Clickety click click!

[RBW] Keven Sighting on Riv Instagram

[Bill Lindsay]

Keven showed up yesterday on Rivs Instagram feed holding up a really 
interesting porteur mixte. I don’t know how to link to Instagram from my phone, 
particularly for those of you who aren’t on Instagram. Suffice it to say, is is 
a mixte, with two skinny top tubes that go to the rear triangle. Those mixte 
tubes have a lng continuous circular bend to them, and there’s a
Brakes on permanent front rack on the head tube. It’s got long chainstays.

When I was recovering from my crash, I called RBW to get a quote and Keven
had heard about it and was already in the process of ordering me a new
frame. It made me feel so incredibly special and cared for.

And he's like that with everyone!

For me, Keven is RBW. While there are many other helpful and nice people at
RBW, Keven defined my experience there. Always helpful, always answering my
questions with a smile, always providing that extra touch to make my
experience there worth the 45 minute drive. No question was ever boring,
dumb or silly. I haven't been there in a couple of years, but I will miss
him next time I go.

The team has big shoes to fill, although I'm sure they'll make sure they
do. He set an example that should endure.

Keven, salud!!!

Second that... Keven has made my experiences with Rivendell that much 
better.  Thank you, Keven... I hope that you'll remain part of this forum 
and no stranger to the Riv community.  Best of luck! BB

[RBW] Keven

[Lynne Fitz]

Thank you Keven for helping me get my Bleriot repaired after it was mangled in 
a crash!  You were helpful in letting me know all the options, finding a 
replacement fork, and just generally being wonderful!

Just read the newsletter, I see that Keven is moving on to different 
pastures, just wanted to take a moment to publicly acknowledge that he is 
one of the nicest people I have ever come across in my life, and played a 
huge part in my uber-positive Riv experience, and I'll miss calling him to 
ask about things like "why won't these cranks fit this bike?" and other 
marginalia that most people are smart enough to figure out on their own.

I'll send him a note personally, but thought it might be nice to have a 
little public thing here to recognize his part in the great Riv world.  

Go Kev Go!

Interacting with Keven Mowen was fun, dynamic, and invigorating  There's a cool 
poster on my wall that reminds me of you, and there's a 73% dark chocolate 
bike, too.  Best regards, and a tailwind.

[RBW] Keven/Vince style thumbshifters

[Dave]

Inspired by Grants post about Liesl's gorgeous new bike, I swapped around 
my paul thumbies on a pair of boscos.  Right paul to the left side, left 
paul to right side. Instead of the actual thumbshifter being on the outside 
where there can be overlap between where the shifter is and where your palm 
wants to be, the shifter moves to the inside of the bar where it's out of 
the way. There's no downside at all unless you like indexed shifting (which 
I guess you could still do if you ran your rear derailleur shifting from 
the left hand), and the upside is *huge*.  The thumbies no longer get in 
the way of certain grips, you can actually hook into them pretty nicely 
with a thumb, and you get so much more grippable bar area than with the 
thumb shifters on the outside.

Thanks Vince and Keven, and Grant for the photos!
