I doubt there are more than a handful of Rivendell owners who haven't
cycled for years and owned numerous bikes before taking the plunge.
I certainly fit into this category. I hadn't bicycled at all since my brain
injury at the end of 2002, though I rode a recumbent trike for a few years.

Me too. I thought about a bike around 2000 or 2001, after returning from a
scout hike with my son that nearly killed me. I knew I needed a fun way to
work on fitness and my 1st bike was a self bribe to get off the couch. It
was a steel framed Trek Navigator (rail trail bike). The cycling bug bit
Wanted to add something to this topic.
When I ride with people who are not as infatuated as I with all things
bicycles but want to start cycling I often have a discussion about the
attributes of my bike especially when I tell them it's made for mixed
terrain it always distills to how much!

We simply disagree. I have no issue with discussions of
Riv-philosophy-related products they don't make/sell. I *do* get a little
uncomfortable with the who makes a cheap Sackville type stuff. As far as
I'm concerned that's asking for the made in China alternative, which Grant

I don't understand if/how far OT my post on the fixie is, but I deeply

Cyclofiend Jim, I so very much appreciate your spring reminder and the
thoughtful way in which you articulated it. The emphasis on the narrow
focus contributing to the quality of discussion is spot on. I hope that I
continue to live up to that noble standard in my posts and not err to far

No steve, I doubt you are the only angry old man here, just the most vocal.

Good point, what is the sense of telling each other that everyone is civil
when people aren't? There are a few people here who are always on the
attack and try to ruin it for everyone, I know they have ruined it for me

I love Rivendell bikes and I used to own two of them. The reason I don't
own any now is simply because I couldn't bear seeing them get beat up. So
now I ride powder-coated, less-expansive alternatives. I still like the
Rivendell philosophy and occasional buy great products from RBW. But
frankly, I
Agreed. Hey Liesl! Tell me more about your Appaloosa experience. I have a
desire to drive over to Rivendell and try out the prototype, but don't think
it's my kind of bike. What do you think?
