Thanks mike!
Yeah, that's kinda the test. There are posts which never hit the list that
land squarely in that genre. Usually by a
It should be clear that this is a forum for those who enjoy some or all
aspects of what Riv contributes to the world of cycling and cycling
products. But the list isn't owned or controlled or managed in any direct

The Riv universe contains a large number of individuals who buy little or
nothing from Riv, but who trawl the used Riv and "Riv-ish" market for
deals. I'm ok with that. I've never thought the best or most honest goal of
this list is to cheerlead for Riv or to banish those who don't regularly

The non-Rivish post are like pornography, I know it when I see it. Or
something like that.

Rivs are aspirational purchases for most and there seems to be room in the
list for "Rivish." I doubt everyone who buys Riv products has a Riv frame.
Even some people who work there don't have a Riv frame.

I think the "secondary market" aspect of this list is valuable, and I don't
see any problem recommending a TIG welded alternative to a Riv model, since
Grant has done the same in the Rivendell Reader. We're not salespeople,
we're just people.
My two cents.

Agreed, the prices at Rivendell are very reasonable, I just dont know if
its Kosher for people to come here and say something like hey that Atlantis
is nice but does someone make a similar bike for less money? Just like, not

I haven't seen anything remotely like gouging in Rivendell's prices. There
may be a few items where a better discount can be found elsewhere, but most
of the stuff I want, anyway, Rivendell has a better price than even Amazon.

I dont want to speak for Joe but what I would add is if you are looking for
a used Rivendell bike because a new one is out of reach that is great IMO,
since it is getting you on a Rivendell and into the fold, so to speak. On
the other hand, if you are asking if someone makes a bike like Rivendel
Joe,
I suspect for a lot of folks, Riv bikes and Riv stuff remains aspirational.
If they come here for ideas, it works.
Eventually, they will have the $$$ for the dream.

Jim can alert me if this doesn't qualify, but I always feel a little queasy
when "where can I get Riv-type stuff, but, ya know, cheaper" posts show up
here. The question is fine on general lists like iBob or Bicycle Lifestyle,
but seems kinda in violation of the spirit of a forum dedicated to th

As we make our way out of the winter, I know every one is getting excited
about spring riding. Even in the parts of the world where they have real
winters, things are looking good.
