I agree with Manny. There's a tradeoff between speed and presentation,
and the slideshow is the presentation of the whole Rivendell deal.
Ideally the slideshow loads last, so the goods show up, then the
slides? I don't know if it does; the site loads fine on DSL and FIOS
for me. I would be sad to

Using a content delivery network to house the images could improve the
speed of the loading. I use one on my site and it speeds things up a great
deal. I use Max CDN (no affiliation or promotional bonus of any kind for
me) and have liked it, no problems.

I vote for simpler/faster, especially in the smartphone age. I'm sure Rivendell
is losing customers whose phones make the process not worth sticking around for.

I vote for slow and pictures...there's already rivbike.com/mobile when I
want to use my smartphone - though I'd vote for improving that particular
entry point...right now adding something to one's cart through it seems to
go to regular site. It's a work in progress, but aren't we all? :-)
I'm on a good high speed connection. I have not experienced any problems with
the speed of the Rivendell site so far.I would vote for how it is with the
photos.
I also connect via my iPhone on occasion and haven't really noticed the site
being any slower than the rest of the sites I

While we have your attention, any chance that the site could have a heritage
section where we could access info about previous models? The Cyclofiend site
is great, but I for one would love to be able to pull up the old pages for bike

Just a thought.
Then we can pester you about how the new bikes are great, but golly, I wish
you still had the Romulus/Redwood/Ram/Bleriot/Wilbury. ;-)
