seeing as they have the frames already..

Joe:

My beloved San Marcos appears to be the same blue (which is stunning) so I 
can't argue with the choice and the savings.

However, I am a bit sad not to see a candy apple and cream Cheviot.  I will 
put it on my wish list for myself if I win the lottery :)

I look forward to seeing the pictures.

Ann

Joe,

I have to say keeping it blue and spending the savings on nice parts seems to 
me an excellent choice. 

Good decision.

When I got there, there was a Betty Foy in the stand that Mark was refreshing 
for a neighbor. He was shellacking the twine on the kickstand, which is as 
Rivendell as it gets. I wish I'd thought to take that picture!

Joe, I couldn't agree more regarding the Riv Folk. I always enjoy the 
conversation no matter who picks up the phone. I envy your proximity to Riv 
HQ.  In spite of being roughly 3,000 miles away a visit is most definitely 
on my to-do list. Congrats on the new Cheviot. I look forward to seeing 
pics. Happy trails, Marc

Alas the red was not to be. After some consultation with Will about how dang 
good the blue looks - it's miles more impressive than pics on the site reveal - 
I decided to spend the paint money on shiney new silver bits. As soon as my 
wheels show up I'll get it all built up and show it off. It's so pretty!

Right on Joe. I made it to HQ this past summer and it was fantastic. I was a 
bit star struck myself standing there talking to Grant about baseball and life. 
That was a Friday, when I firs t got into town. When I came back on Saturday to 
take one of their bikes for a ride at Shell Ridge, it ended up that the only 
Appaloosa in my size happened to be Grants, so he gave me his bike, grabbed 
another, and off we went. Oh, another highlight was a beer and a ride with a 
Patrick Moore in ABQ!

It is indeed a unique company, more so these days. I'm on the other side of 
the country, but I confess to ordering by phone vs. website over the years, 
just for the always pleasant interaction with whoever happens to take my 
order. Is this not the candy apple red Chev chariut? No sneak pics?!
