Great write up! Took me back to a few years ago. I'd ventured cross-country, found myself in San Francisco, what else would a bike nerd do? Jump on the BART to Walnut Creek. I'd found myself confused as I rounded a section of storage unit type structures, only to find a discreet Rivendell Bike

Leah helped me with process of finding and then going through the process of custom painting my Platypus. If I was a super cool technology person I could direct your right to that conversation. There is also someone who custom painted an orange bike... On Tuesday, September 19, 2023 at

Leah and Sarah, I've passed your support to Mathilde to which she said "See, they get it!" :) And also, I wouldn't say I crashed twice, more like I had to bail from the bike because I lost balance. Nothing catastrophic (except for a bruise or two from those damn bear trap pedals!) On Monday,

And I wanted a raspberry bike! So I also say make it happen for the yellow or orange bike! I thoroughly enjoyed reading this thread, start to finish. I was as delighted as if it had been me who got the experience. How wonderful. But I would not have been brave enough to be doing single track

I've gotten to ride with Grant a few times. The most memorable one was when I was just stopping in for a couple small bits, and I was contemplating a floor model 650B Atlantis. Grant walks up and: GP: "Hey Bill" BL: "Hi Grant" GP: "We should go on a ride sometime" BL: "I agree, that would be
