Maybe it's just my browser, but I can't seem to get the Vimeo video to
start in the middle - it always starts over from very beginning if I try to
nudge the marker forward. Anyone else? I can do this with most other Vimeo
films.

Hey Andrew,
I had the same problem while trying the watch the video on RBW's site. I
went to the Vimeo site and had no problems starting the video in the middle.

Incredible video. I feel so lucky Rivendell exists.

You know, I have to say I am too.
Looks like a great place to work; the employees seem to believe in the
company and I believe that respect, for lack of a better word, comes out in
the products and the service that I have always enjoyed when I buy from
them.
I can tell you this, I don't
I will say that I appreciated Grant's mention of earbuds as a possible
culprit, as well as highlighting the important fact that you hear
trouble before you see it. As someone who's ridden over 10k city miles
in the past 2 years and most of them with earbuds until recently, I
was not long ago
I like the idea if they made a video for each model. It would be cool to
see the differences between the models.

I've had two similar experiences. First time a cable/wire sticking
out of the ground from some previous construction snagged on the
derailleur and yank me to a halt bending the hanger and destroying my
derailleur. Second time not sure what happened but the derailleur
again was yank into the
That is a great video.Lots of honesty and interesting details,
especially for us Rivendell geeks, but also genuinely intriguing for anyone
remotely aware of nature and potential hazards of small business.
Glad to see the Appaloosa bike is going to happen, and the new IRD 8-speed
12-34
I would like to see a nicely edited tasteful video of Mark doing a full
bike build. Not long and boring, but more his philosophy and let's say 20
of the finer points he pays attention to when doing a build ie the Zen And
The Art of Building a Rivendell.

Really enjoyed the short film. I had a good feeling about that Rivendell
crew; now I know why. The music was perfect.

Extensive post with new video about RBW staff. Great stuff by Jay, as
loved that video. nice job jay! I didn't know how compelling a 30 minute
video could be, but man that thing just flies right by. Makes me like the
company even more, and really makes me want to get out on an S24O soon.

Allow me to make a humble retraction. I can only validly lay 100% of the
fault at the feet of the rider, not one scintilla more. 200% was unfair of
me. Mea culpa.

My favorite parts were Grant talking at the beginning and the footage of

Not on the basis of the evidence, you can't.

Oh, I thought you were joking around since I said 200%.
Care to share your theory? I'm apparently not smart enough to conceive a
way that this could possibly be a defective frame.

It *could* be defectively brittle metal,
Dropouts are generally cast parts, so it is possible it was defective.
But, it's also clear that we have no real business deciding anything about
the person who sent it in, and whether it's a valid claim. It's a
Rivendell decision and they chose to act in an amazingly upright manner.
I'll drop it. It's probably my ex-retail guilt complex wanting to give
Rivendell the benefit of the doubt. If Rivendell wants to give the rider
the benefit of the doubt, I've got no reason to be upset about it. They've
been kind to me before, too. I shouldn't be bummed at them being kind to
You know, after looking more closely at what Grant said, and at the photos,
I have to agree that the evidence points to more than a brittle or
defective dropout. I neglected to consider the damage to the wheel, which
points to a stick. So I withdraw my earlier comment.
What drew my fire was what

about the new HA Rack and bag still in work and the 11-32 IRD made 8 speed
cassettes. The video is cool too.

Some aspects of retail are really horrible, and I really do not miss from
my past life. That broken Hunqa, 200% the rider's fault, and Riv is eating
a frameset over it, and the customer is still disappointed. That steams me
more than a little.

Me, I worked in sales, too -- insurance -- and dealt with idiot and knavish
clients, so nothing would surprise me; and indeed, JRA would be very odd

Grant is just too nice of a guy to point out that some user error results
in failure. Any product has that possibility. A Ferrari is a nice car, top
of the line, but if you mash the clutch and grind through all the gears for
the better part of an afternoon you are gonna need a new gearbox, not the
Good grief! I didn't think it possible to like RBW more than I already did.
Great video of great people, and a great business.

What a fine look at the company at the human level. Broadcast quality video
could be part of a series about people, values, and small business. Kudos
to Jay and all who participated.

Didn't Grant say that the cassettes are 12-34? And yeah, the video was
great. I would love to see even more footage of the whole crew riding.

Love the S24O clips. Great work, Jay.
Can't wait for that HA rack!

It's so refreshing to watch a video where the participants speak in
complete, thoughtful sentences and the scenes last longer than a fraction
of a second. You really get a feel for the people the work environment.
The comment early in the video about talking people down to something
Jay did an amazing job with the video. Perfect video of the behind scenes
of Rivendell HQ. Just like the shop the video had a real organic feel and
super causal but still very informational. Super real. Just like the lovely
folks at Rivendell.
On Thursday, January 17, 2013 4:54:42 PM UTC-8,
I'm reading a random library book called United Breaks Guitars, which is about
customer service, which always makes me think of Rivendell. I'd never seen or
heard of the viral video it's about (the author is the songwriter), which is
ironic, since it has 13,000,000 views on YouTube.
