[RBW] Thank you Rivendell

Rivendell recently posed a question on Instagram with a $20 reward for those who answered correctly. As a Bob Dylan fan I was able to answer correctly and just received my reward! I ordered a mini-triangle, two rolls of Newbaum tape and a 7 speed Jim cassette (11-36) to try on my Clem. I will

[RBW] Thank you for the kind words, everyone!

Jenny we have never met but you have certainly sent some packages to me over the years. I was saddened to hear that you were leaving Riv. You always seemed like a person I’d love to chat with. Your style was also appreciated by me in your bikes. Wishing you the very best for continued success!

Hi Justin. I have quite a collection of dual legged kickstands gathered for bike-with-kid service. I’ll send you some info tomorrow. I am local-ish so you can check them out. Need to clean out the garage. The Ursus is the best I used. Super stable and wide footprint. Helps with wiggling kids
