After I retire (Next June 2018), I'd love to visit the good people at Rivendell. I've always said they're a great company and I'm lucky to own a few rivs and they have all been great to work with. I consider them friends. Also, as Tim says, they are sincerely glad for our business and support.

One of the reasons it took me three weeks to write my report is that there was just so much good to talk about that I couldn't get started. And I still feel like I barely scratched the surface in telling how great everyone there is and how welcome they make you feel. The visit was part of a 5+

Thanks for sharing this, Tim. How nice after five Rivendells to meet the people behind them in person, and then go for a ride with the designer. Speaking of photos of Grant, the one in the current email evokes some kind of bicycle shaman, perhaps coming down into town for supplies. Too cool!

Yes, good story, and good photos. I'm glad Grant is getting as old as I am. Following miscellaneous links related to an iBob thread on trail, I came across several articles about Grant and Rivendell, notably Gary B's interview with Grant published in a 2007 Bike Radar edition. A good article to
