Great to hear you're reunited with your bike. I also want to echo Matt's 
warning on acetone. Isopropyl alcohol (aka. IPA or rubbing alcohol) will 
clean off the permanent marker instantly without damaging the clear coat.

Re: [RBW] Stolen 1995 Rivendell Road Standard recovered!

[Matthew Williams]

Congratulations Adrianna! I’ve been watching for your bike at swap meets and 
everywhere I ride and walk, so I’m very happy you got it back! 

With regards to removing Sharpie: DO NOT use acetone! Acetone will remove the 
clearcoat, decals, and the Rivendell enamel paint. Acetone is one of the 
“hottest” solvents and I only use acetone when I’m cleaning bare metal.

So happy for your good news! Can you share more details of how you got it back?

[John Rinker]

Hey Andrew and Adrianna,

Also, to remove Sharpie pen you can color over the Sharpie with white-board 
marker. This will remove Sharpie with no damage to paint or decal. A trick 
I learned from a 3rd grade student.

Cheers, John

Hi Adrianne,
I am very happy for you that you got back your beloved Rivendell Road 
bicycle after it was stolen. You can rest and sleep better now that it is 
back in your procession. 
My kind regards,

Re: [RBW] Stolen 1995 Rivendell Road Standard recovered!

[Andrew Letton]

 Great news, Adrianna! I'm happy for you.
I can't really tell from the resolution of the photo, but it looks like it is 
just the decals that were painted or marked over. If they used a Sharpie pen, 
acetone should remove the pen markings without damaging the paint job (but test 
in a small area to be sure!). If they used paint, some paints may be dissolved 
by acetone as well. I'm fairly certain that the original paint will not be 
harmed by acetone, but again, I would test this in an inconspicuous spot first.
Cheers!Andrew in Sydney

 Hi all,
Just thought to share the good news. A few months ago, my Riv was stolen from 
my garage in San Francisco. I got it back this week.
The gist of the story was that a bike person in my community came across this 
bike, figured it was stolen, got it from the person selling it, and contacted 
me. 

All the parts were intact, except bags and lights and bottle cages, and the 
bike was totally fine. Someone had painted over the lugs in a black and blue 
and it's kind of ugly, but that's maybe a good story to tell some day.
I am so happy!
-Adrianna
