[RBW] Thinking of a Riv
Dear Tim, We're down in Portland, and have Joe Appaloosas (and more Clems on the way), as well as some other demo bikes to try. Come on down if you have time/interest.

Re: [RBW] Re: Houseless Sam Hillborne in Portland, Oregon
Hi, I'm the guy that posted this in the first place. I have exchanged emails with the Craiglist poster. I have a report from someone in the neighborhood who spoke with him in person. He has reposted the ad. He has asked me on more than one occasion if I've had any luck on my end tracking down the owner. (I haven't.) Honestly, I feel kinda' bad now about even mentioning this, considering that I think the guy is on the up-and-up. Would I have done it exactly the same way? Maybe not. But in every exchange I've had with him, he comes across as 100% genuine. I tend to skew more toward the "motivation" end of things, both here and in life, in general. Nothing I've heard from the CL poster - or the guy in the neighborhood who talked to him - leads me to think that his motivation is anything less than sincere. I don't believe he has any intention of keeping the bike, or is living in hopes that the owner won't resurface. He appears to me to really want to find the rightful owner of the Hillborne.

[RBW] Re: Patch makers
Thumbs up for Walter! His patches are fantastic. He has made all of our ours, including our most popular: https://www.rivelopdx.com/shop/patch-pedal-bikes-shoot-film His page: https://fallscreekoutfitters.com/ Jon Grant designs our patches, and he and Walter worked out details that I hadn't even considered: http://papagrant.weebly.com/ I first worked with Jon when he did the graphics for the Saluki, way back in '05. He also did the Bleriot. John at Rivelo in Portland, Ore. On Tuesday, November 19, 2019 at 6:41:49 PM UTC-8, J Imler wrote: > > I’m interested in having some patches made for a worthy cause.
