Passed two known (to me) Riv's, Ed and Mary on their SimpleOne and Quickbeam SS bikes this morning close the the Jefferson Memorial... I'm looking forward to catching them for the #FridayCoffeeClub at Swings in downtown DC. This week will be my first on the Atlantis! -- You received this

Riv-Spotting! Awesome idea... this might be a good 'sticky'! I caught sight of a gorgeous tall iridescent blue riv, white/cream headtube and the headbage was the Rivendell 'RBW' one the gentleman riding it was headed east into DC on the WOD trail near Falls Church, VA. Looked like he

I was preparing to make a crossing onto the North bound PCH when I saw another bearded gentleman on a AHH. Curtis was on his new magnificent dbl top tubed Hilsen we chatted for 45 minutes about his Hilsen, light weight camping and future Riv rides, it was great as Curtis said to meet another

Re: Silverlake - we were wandering around Silverlake on foot one day passed a bike rack in front of a restaurant (wish I could recall the name). Anyway, many cool bikes locked up there but all of a sudden the cream head tube on one stood out. It was Rivendell custom the same color as

This thread is timely. As I rode home last Wednesday I met up and rode for a bit with a near neighbor that rides a beautiful Sam-orange Atlantis. As we rode we talked about the Riv's that we see in our small area of Indianapolis. As of the last spotting we have seen 4 Quickbeams, 2 Atlantis (i?),

Must be a beard thing with AHH's Curtis. I saw Hugh's pictures and thought these guys must know each other. Your bikes looks great too. I live just north of there in Carlsbad now. and Leah... I used to live in Santa Clarita and ride a Ram. I never saw another Riv my whole time living there.

Mike, but we saw plenty of carbon and spandex, didn't we? Would have liked to meet more steel steeds but will try my luck in Vegas. Moving there in a week and wondering if it is a habitat for any other Rivs... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW
