I'm amazed at the feel of the bike. I've been riding a Specialized Roubaix (carbon frame). Although the San Marcos is several pounds heavier, on the road it feels lighter and much more agile than the carbon road bike. Dick told me I'd be amazed at the difference. He was not exaggerating. Sorry,

Very nice bike, Pat. It looks a lot like my Bleriot with similar color and build, right down to the tan bar tape and STI. Enjoy many miles on it. Steve On Tuesday, March 13, 2012 10:56:42 AM UTC-4, PatKendall wrote: I am delighted to say that I just purchased my first Rivendell bicycle.

Nice bike, and indeed good to get another 2TT on the road! Hope you took in the National Corvette Museum while you were there (you caught their sign in one of your picture). Definitely worth the time. Best, Jim in Boulder On Tuesday, March 13, 2012 8:56:42 AM UTC-6, PatKendall wrote: I am

Dick met me near Indianapolis when he delivered my Hilsen this past November. I enjoyed seeing the photos of your fitting. I was so excited that day I neglected to take any pictures. Enjoy your new Riv Pat, It's a beauty! On Tuesday, March 13, 2012 9:56:42 AM UTC-5, PatKendall wrote: I am
