Hi Mike, A tour to mark ten years is an excellent plan :)I'd love to see some pics of your Curt Goodrich A/R. About the ST decal, yes it's an option, you can request wrap-around or diamond style.They even have different outline colors to choose from. Matt On Tuesday, June 25,

Patrick, I just think it's cool that you can call them up, and whoever answers the phone is probably going to answer your question/help you out right then. Oftentimes Grant will answer the phone.How many longstanding, renowned companies (almost 20 years for Rivendell) have founders who

Elegant but rugged. I really like that colour...and the green tape is a really nice touch. Enjoy! Totally agree with you about their exemplary customer service. The queue for my 2001 road was a good deal longer, but the result was well worth the wait. On Monday, June 24, 2013 7:42:59 AM

Very nice All-rounder! I have custom (Curt-built) A/R as well (26 wheels, though) and am pleased as punch with it. How exciting to have a future old friend and traveling companion! I was just looking at my records and I ordered it in January of '03 and it was delivered at the end of July

I should add that my experience ordering my off the rack Hunqapillar, Grant et al went well above and beyond to help me buy my first bike in 20 years. It's a disconcerting choice to spend that much on a bike when I wasn't sure (due to vertigo) if I would be able to ride it any farther than the

Nice. As always, Riv's best promotions are from happy owners. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an email to rbw-owners-bunch+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com.

Fantastic, Matt! I'd love to hear about your custom experience (possible long term interest, mostly curiosity, as I have 5 other people to eventually get Riv's for before I would even consider pulling the trigger on a custom). What Riv's have you owned/ridden pre custom? What made you desire a

Hi Patrick, I have a few rivendell bikes already, and can't really say that any of them fall short in any way; they're all great! With a custom, I suppose one could say you get marginal returns performance-wise, over their standard models- I wouldn't say that about this bike, though,

Wow nice bike. You know, I actually like how rivs look without the cream painted head tube. Looks to be a little bit like a canti hilsen? which if i had the money is how I would go for a custom. On Monday, June 24, 2013 8:42:59 AM UTC-4, Matt Beebe wrote: Hi All, A couple years ago

Great looking bike. The Plain paint job along with the older Rivendell add a bit of understated elegance. Enjoy! Richard -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from
