Sounds like a good trip.  I innocently visted Rivendell a few months
ago while on vacation.  Next thing I know, I ordered a Hunqapillar!
Oops.

Yeah, each visitor should be presented with appropriate warnings and
disclaimers... Rivendell Bicycle Works is not responsible for your
inability to control your emotional response to these bicycles, nor
are we responsible for any subsequent actions you might undertake to
obtain funding to satisfy your uncontrollable urges to own one of
these fine bicycles...  THAT would be the responsible thing to do

Jim:  I have returned home (to NJ)... Had an awesome time in Sonoma
County and brought back some of the positive spirit... We've got a
Fall evening ride (off-road) planned this Saturday along the Delaware
River in PA... to an English pub.  We'll be returning in the dark
(with lights, of course).  I'm sure I'll have to share the Bombadil
with my friends... they'll be asking to swap rides... (maybe I will
need them to sign a disclaimer... I cannot be responsible for your
wanting to sell your minivan and mid-life-crisis Harley for one of
these bikesyaddy yadda)

Peace,
BB

  I had been looking forward to visiting RBWHQ for many weeks... I
  arrived in San Francisco after a few days of killer mountain biking in
  Colorado, and was on my way up to Healdsburg/Santa Rosa to stay with a
  friend and ride Annadale State Park.  We first took a detour through
  Oakland out to Walnut Creek.  We met Keven Mowen in the showroom, and
  he was a most gracious host.  We test rode a few bikes... I rode a
  beautiful double-tubed Hillborne, a slightly smaller Hilsen, and (one
  of my favorites) a Betty Foy... (I may just have to get myself a
  Gomez)...

 Don't know if you'll be around this weekend, but there's always
 Biketoberfest in Fairfax this Saturday, which as mentioned will feature a
 booth staffed by some of the fine folks from Rivendell.

 And... if you see some guy toodling around on an orange Quickbeam, say
 hidy.

I went out there for two Irish straps and walked out with a new Brooks
saddle. Before that I walked out with a Big Rack.  Before that was
something else.  Strange thing is they didn't try to sell me any of
it.

I feel fortunate to have been a Rivendell customer since 1995.  There
have been a few shocks of On my gosh...I just spent $X on a bike/
frame.  Sometimes there is a bit of sticker shock, but I have yet to
regret spending money at Rivendell.  I am happy to pay for their
expertise...it's well worth it!
