Andy, this woman who’s living with you (she needs a name, it’s too much to
type), why isn’t she on the List? This the best place for Riv lovers, I think.
Plus, she could have some #RivSisters.
Interesting she’s been doing S24Os - is that what the cool kids in college are
doing now? Is it just

To be honest, this WFH period combined with a string of cold / rainy days

Hearing about your struggle to find a good shop and knowing how retail bike
shops everywhere, including those here in the East SF Bay Area give me an
uncomfortable sense of dissonance. It is true that the shelter-in-place

I think a lot of us are going to have "color envy" over Leah's new wheels,
but I think you ought to show off your silver ones too! Come on, let us
see these new kicks!

Joyce, what's funny is I got shiney new all silver wheels from Rich @ Riv
yesterday. I didn't even bother to show them on my "Joe's Custom" thread
because Leah's came today and I'm crazy about HER multicolor-spectacular wheels!

Well. You’re not wrong. But you know what else? I blame all of you. I used to
be a perfectly reasonable person (with a disconcerting affinity for sparkle),

Special for a Betty Foy and I was happy for so many years.
