Re: [RBW] Re: Riv Ride in Asheville NC?

The posters will be 16” x 20”, signed and numbered. I’m actually hand printing them this weekend. For those who cannot make the trip to Asheville, afterwards I’ll be putting any remaining posters up online with an Etsy link to purchase.- BrianOn Jun 28, 2023, at 8:58 PM, EverRed wrote:What are

Love that!! And your adorable dog clearly does too. I used to think that's where we were headed. With his recent vestibular issues, I don't think my dog would appreciate it. It is like having vertigo. He has regained enough balance to enjoy our neighborhood walks but a quick shake of his head

Re: [RBW] Re: FS: Legolas 54 FFHS

One more thing occurred to me. I've been spending huge amounts of time in my back patio with my sweet old dog, who is now 14, very arthritic, and just had a bout of vestibular disease. Because I want to hang with him, I haven't had as much time for riding. Instead, this has been an ideal time

When I was a young racing cyclist in Western Australia some 50-plus years ago, it was still a legal requirement for a bicycle to have a bell. This was more honoured in the breach than the observance, and I never saw or heard of a recreational cyclist being pulled over because they lacked a

Good questions! I really love riding different bikes and I have accumulated some great ones over the past 10+ years. Before then, I had only 2 at a time, selling one when I wanted something else. Then, I got a garage and discovered Rivendell. Now, I have a beautiful set of awesome bikes that

I bought one last year (I think) and there was no other source. They are very similar to the Nitto MT-54S which also has to be purchased from Japan but might come out a little cheaper? Rivendell has most of their faceplatters in stock but I think they all fail at being way to tall. I don't get

I'll say! That was a damned good price for a Legolas! Questions: 1. Valerie, why did you sell this unobtanium of the Rivendell line of bicycles? 2. Those who have ridden the Legolas and the Ram, the Roadeo, or the Roadini: How does the Legolas feel in ease of maintaining speed, acceleration,

Thanks, V! BTW, I use my right hand for most things but my left hand is dominant. Sort of weird. So I prefer flipping striker with my left hand. Spurcycle makes folks meandering catiwompas on the MUPS around here wet their pants as I approach. So I allow plenty of room as we have no idea which way
