[RBW] Re: PSA: 55cm Cheviot for sale in Sacramento area

2018-10-22 Thread Joe Bernard
I don't understand why a Riv owner - a notoriously reliable bunch for knowing 
their stuff - doesn't understand the drivetrain on the bike, nor explains the 
very noticeable tire mismatch. In the long run I don't actually care - anybody 
can sell a bike any way they want - but it popped up here and I commented on it 
cuz it reads a little shifty to me. If y'all are happy with it then good on ya.

I don’t understand that sentence but the rest of the ad seems pretty normal and 
straightforward to me.

My questions about the ad are crystal clear, and that quote doesn't answer 
them.

*Selling my Rivendell Cheviot mixte bike. It's in excellent condition; my 
wife used it a few times before she bought a Cheviot of her own (she needed 
a size smaller).*
Seems crystal clear to the point of maybe even too much information 
necessary -- to me, anyway ...

I think he mentioned his wife's involvement as an affirmation that it's 
good enough that she had to have her own. At least that's how I read it. 
Mismatched tires are somewhat common amongst the general bike owner 
population; they are not nearly as fastidious to match tires, not to 
mention bags. This explanation is also apt for the 9 vs 10 speed mistake. :)
