Re: [RBW] Re: The Bike Snob is getting a Rivendell!

[masmojo]

A friend of mine who worked in bike shops for years confessed he'd never 
even heard of Rivendell until he started working for a shop where the owner 
was a Grant Peterson fan.

The average "biker" has no idea; when they see you with your Wald basket 
Zip tied to the front rack; you might as well be a Bag lady.
It's funny to me that I get these kind of *looks,* like I am clueless, 
because it's quite obviously they who are clueless.
Although this sort of smugness doesn't really suit me, because I dislike 
being judgmental.
it's not lost on me that some of the most enthusiastic cyclist are many 
times new adopters, so I try to shrug it off: they'll know soon enough and 
they'll be as jaded as the rest of us! LOL

50 in 5 minutes! As Jason Fuller mentioned on the Platypus thread, it 
appears that the Radavist/Crust crowd - and I would add Path Less Pedaled 
and Bike Snob - have pushed Riv to a new mainstream in cycling that isn't 
going away soon. Will mentioned in the recent newsletter/email that he's 
seeing Rivs and riders wearing Riv-ed bikes in Riv garb on the streets of 
San Francisco in greater quantities lately. I've been following this stuff 
from the beginning - ever since 1994! - and for most of that time any 
sighting of a Rivendell was A Big Deal because it just wasn't something you 
saw very often, even here in close-by Marin. In the last few years it's 
become a thing where if I'm out where all the bikes are I'm probably going 
to see at least one Riv. Will says they're going to increase production 
next year, which is a very good move. These Platys sold too fast!

Re: [RBW] Re: The Bike Snob is getting a Rivendell!

[Dorothy C]

Leah, I think my son's frame shipping will be at least a couple of weeks 
away still. Luckily I am in SoCal and I have all the parts gathered 
together so it won't take too long to build it up for him.
Will's email said they sold a total of 50 frames in the 50cm and 55cm sizes 
in the first five minutes of the sale going live.

Re: [RBW] Re: The Bike Snob is getting a Rivendell!

[Leah Peterson]

Dorothy, I absolutely think you are right. Eben has been really enamored with 
his family’s 2 Rivendells so far, and it would not surprise me if he was 
getting a Platy, and please oh PLEASE, if Roberta doesn’t do a peacock-themed 
build can someone do it? I had Dorothy’s same thoughts when I read that blog 
post. Very, very exciting.

Roberta - guess what - we will BOTH have Bike Snob bikes because he (his wife, 
really) has a Clem and a Platy!

Dorothy, have you heard any news of the ETA of your son’s Platypus?

[RBW] Re: The Bike Snob is getting a Rivendell!

[Roberta]

That could be exciting and great PR for Riv (I only wish they had more 
bikes to sell).  Interesting that he'd picture the green 60 cm, when he'd 
most likely buy the 55 (he rides a 54.5 AHH, same as me).  Perhaps he got a 
lime/olive 55 one.I have those same two bikes and never thought I'd be 
in "snobby" company.  His wife has a Clem L.

A few weeks ago, BBDD Leah, sent me a picture of a peacock with a note: 
"What about a Peacock theme for Roberta's Platy!!"  I think it would be 
divine.  For those who haven't looked at the attachment, the picture of the 
peacock is worth the click.

[RBW] Re: The Bike Snob is getting a Rivendell!

[Mark Roland]

Not sure what bike EW is getting from Rivendell, but his latest column in 
Outside  is 
worth a read. I'm not a basketball fan, or a celebrity fan, but props to 
LeBron James. If the bike advocacy industry could get some grant funding to 
make a series of PSAs featuring celebrities in some kind of Got Bikes? 
campaign, in today's culture, that might be something that would help with 
increasing critical mass. (And props to Outside for giving EW a column--and 
EW for earning it!)
