Leah- Awesome! Gene has been receptive to Grant's wavelength ever since he raced Bridgestones back-in-those-days. I had a fun time meeting all the One on One folks, Anna Schwinn, and All-City/Fulton Brewing race team when I visited Minneapolis. We ended up playing ping pong in the

Wonderful story... very happy to take part in semi-real-time as it happened. Smiles say it best; Riv-ride is special. “Anniversary Rivs: Celebrate the fellowship of your ring.”--> Rivendell's 25th is coming soon. Maybe Grant et al., can use this for the 25th? Maybe Phil/Bike Tinker could do a

Oh, Ryan, when you find somethng you really love, isn’t it infectious? I’m so glad I have you all because it’s so much sweeter when shared. I know you are as happy for my BIL as I am, and that means so much. I’ve learned heaps here, and I’m so grateful to the list. So, thank you! The joke in

Roberta, hi! So good to "hear" your voice on the List. Let's hope D loves his bike as much as we think he will - he was a little off-put by the price tag, as he was looking at something more in the $600 range. A shiny grilver Clem L showed up today to a local bike shop with D's name on it. I

[RBW] Re: It Was the Worst of Times, It Was the Best of Times

I think its awful that some people think it's OK to just take someone else's property! I think D has the most wonderful SIL in the world to help him get a great bike, which I'm sure he will love. I love the grilver color (so rich!). I'm sure he will love it! Please remember to post pics and

[RBW] Re: It Was the Worst of Times, It Was the Best of Times

D must have been very busy, doing very important and good things to accrue the karma which is about to visit him in the form of a new Rivendell. Leah, I hope your deeds are kept on the same ledger and you benefit in some way from your act! Andy Cheatham Pittsburgh On Friday, May 18, 2018 at

Nice! I think D will enjoy it! Nothing better than seeing the cat on a giant cardboard box. I just unboxed my Hillborne, and I was annoyed by how long it took to pull away the packaging, but then remembered it was for the best as my bike came in tact without a scratch! On Friday, May 18, 2018

What a great story with a happy outcome. Since it's approaching mid-day in the Twin Cities, I assume the deal is done. With all of these people being asked not to buy the bike, and of course cooperating, I think you may have created a conspiracy. But since your BIL is an attorney, he can
