I hope it works out for them. I quickly bought $100 of credits -- as you said, there's always something that only Riv will sell. Harald in Madison (WI) On Wednesday, February 21, 2018 at 6:38:03 PM UTC-6, Chris Birkenmaier wrote: > > I was just in Ri s website and saw their request for their lo

Purchase a few credits myself and it’s the least I could do. Because of Rivendell, I rediscovered cycling after a long hiatus and met a lot of wonderful people along the way. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe

Just as a PSA: If you buy multiple Hail Mary credits, you will get a whole bunch of emails with individual redemption codes for each $10 credit. Had I realized that, I'd have bought a single gift card instead -- I had assumed that the credit would somehow be applied to my account directly. Oh w

I try to be sympathetic to those who live in places where it’s really hard to get outside, but at the same time it makes me sad to think about a Homer languishing on a trainer. I’ll get over it. I think a Frank Jones Senor would be an awesome complement for a Homer. I love where it’s hilly so

Congrats. That's really cool you found one. Don't beat it up "too" much. My 2 cents: - If by "riv stock" you mean nitto, consider using a different, cheap seatpost for a while. The kid seat will most likely clamp around the post and mar it up. Not long after that, you'll likely get a trai

[RBW] Re: Homer +1 discussion

Tim, I also agree with others, but might further suggest a new wheelset. This way if you want dirt riding, you can have one wheelset wear some knobbies, and the other wheelset for your light roadish tires. However, if you're looking for an excuse to buy a bike to begin with...i think the chevi

[RBW] Re: Riv request for store credits

That’s good advice to all of us. If your intent is to buy a $1000 credit, don’t buy 100 $10 credits, because you will receive 100 emails and you will have 100 separate credits. If you have 100 friends and want to hand them out, then by all means go that route, but if you want a $1000 credit, bu

[RBW] Homer +1 discussion

A new rear wheel is a good option. How about a Sam? It can take wide tires and fenders and carry a load. It would be a great compliment to a stripped down Homer even if the bikes are similar if setup the same. I still don’t see why a Roadini would be a bad option. The Homer and Roadini are simi

The company has done that scenario before, too. I think they are trying for a more populist approach. But I tend to think that the more concentrated higher dollar credit buy that you propose has a better chance of success than a thousand points of light. Still, every bit counts! On Thursday, Fe

[RBW] Re: Chroming a Rivendell?

I currently have 4 bicycles with chromed seat and chain stays and fork tips, include a Fuji S10 S. One, the Louison Bobet, actually has a fully chromed fork. I heard this became popular because it saved the process of chroming and painting different size forks for each model. It is a classic an

[RBW] Homer +1 discussion

I'd suggest getting a second rear wheel built with the same rim and hub and cassette. Just swapping the wheel is much less trouble than changing the tire, and one wheel and a cassette is much less expensive and takes up a lot less room than another bike. Alternatively, there are fancy trainers t

[RBW] Re: Chroming a Rivendell?

Chrome on a bike frame can be complementary, like those 1989 Team 7-11 Merckx Corsa Extras. Their paint wasn't exquisite and some of the other details were less refined than more bespoke frames. On a Riv it would be distracting from what I find to be a constellation of small details of construc
