Have to agree that we don't hang on anything. That's the realm of the
trendy. If anything, we're retrogeeks, the total opposites of trendy. We
got here on our own, and like Grant's copy because he puts our own thoughts
into words that we hadn't taken the trouble to write down.

Thanks for the photos story. Looks like Grant's commute is a good place
for test rides. A lot of that turf looks familiar from photos on Riv's
website, especially that sequence of pushing bikes up a ridgeline.

One of the stated reasons for Riv going to other manufactures in these last
