I just checked the list before I purchased a gift certificate. The value I get just out of the newsletter and blahg is worth a lot. I hope Riv is able to do what it takes to keep going and continue to provide unique and great products with an amazing team and community. Thank you to everyone

I’m having a hard time believing a Fabio’s chest is 44 liters. I had one and there were a number of things that I didn’t like about it. Mainly, the more you pack in it, the weirder and more unweildy the shape gets. On my saddle, it would almost turn slightly upside down when fully loaded. Also,

Man. I am torn. I’ve probably spent more money at Rivendell than any other single business (besides maybe the grocery store) in the last 5 years. I bought a bunch of gift certificates those months ago when things seemed dire (despite being pretty broke). I wish they’d hire a business

Great looking Riv All-Around on eBay (https://www.ebay.com/itm/132904220077?ViewItem==132904220077). Great color...maybe too much money for me right now. Seller states that it's a 2008 but told me it has horizontal dropouts. Would such dropouts date the bike to be a little older than 2008?
