So, unlike the SF Bay area, there aren't as many Rivendells around here.   
Thanks to MSL in Bristol, there's several, tho'...  I usually see them on 
the Creeper, or at Steele Creek;   in Kingsport itself, other than my own, 
I've only seen one other Rivendell, was a Quickbeam out on our Greenbelt. 

Until, Thursday, long crazy day that's a whole other story, but I found 
myself in downtown Kingsport that afternoon, canvasing the area by bike for 
hours.   While riding around the downtown area, on my canti-Rom, what did I 
find parked outside of the library, but, another canti-Rom.   My older 
daughter just happened to meet me in the downtown area at the library when 
I was arriving, and although she's not a 'bike person', even she noticed, 
"wow, that bike is *exactly* like your bike, eerily so!".   Of course, 
being a canti-Rom, it was the same light blue, but this one had a Selle 
Anatomica whereas mine are all Brooks, my tires were a lot larger (I'm 
pushing it, running MSO's, whereas this one has sensible 32's on it)... It 
was undecaled, the Romulus downtube decal had been removed, but, if you 
knew what you were looking at, it was unmistakable that it was the same 
frame as mine.

I didn't think it good form to go into the library hollerin' out, who's on 
the Ram, and I still had a lot of ground to cover, couldn't just wait and 
see who came out.....
 
Anywho, just wondering if there's someone else in Kingsport here on the 
list, that I'd not known about....      just reaching out to say hello....
