Steven, Of course that's Hank's new Atlantis. It's the 4th Atlantis I know of in San Luis Obispo. George, me, Hank, and one mystery owner. The drive side Sugino crank on that bike is one I picked up at the Riv garage sale. Hank had to buy the LH crank. Hank has been talking about a local Riv

Mitch, I whole-heartedly agree. I'm in and out of SLO this year, but if I'm here I would love to join. I saw you riding back from Cuesta on the 1 the other day. I went there for almost five years and loved it. It's nice to see other people commuting by bike. Steven Silbert On Jun 13, 2012,

Mitch / Steve / Hank / etc: By all means let me know when you plan something. I'm in the area from time to time would try to schedule a visit around a ride. For So Cal Rivendellians it's a weekend trip that's well worth the effort. dougP On Jun 13, 7:49 pm, steven silbert

Yesterday afternoon I was riding my Atlantis home from work on the Burke-Gilman trail, and spotted a Hungapillar riding in the opposite direction. I had noticed his handlebars in the distance as he was approaching. They looked like the new Bosco bars, and thought how Rivish. Sure enough, as he

Among the gazillion bikes running around Boulder, i've seen exactly one Riv, an orange Hillborne that is parked at the Whole Foods store on Pearl. There just has to be more Jim in Boulder On Monday, June 11, 2012 6:55:09 PM UTC-6, Steven Silbert wrote: Today I came back to my Hillborne,

I was on a bike tour in Wisconsin last summer, SAGBRAW, about 300 or so people. Don't recall the model (maybe Ram?) but several times I spotted an orange with cream head tube Rivendell, locked up at camp, etc. Finally on the last day I met the owner outside a store. There was also a Waterford

Hi Jim- Briefly delurking to say that Deb and I have seen a few Rivs in Boulder. Besides our white Roadeos (red blue trim), there's an Atlantis I frequently see at University Bikes, an orange Quickbeam, an old Road Standard, and that orange Hillborne at WF. Deb says we never park ours

I saw a Romulus at a Kiwanis bike ride in Southern Illinois this past weekend, I was on my Sam Hillborne. Of course we talked a little about bikes. That Rom was way, way cool. I had my bike stripped down with no bags or racks because I wanted to try and ride a bit quicker and lighter, which

I rode past a Quickbeam a couple of months ago while I was out on my Sam here in Columbus, Ohio (Whetstone Park bike path). I was in a hurry to be somewhere and did not have time to chat. That was the only RivBike encounter I've had in almost two years. Next time I'll stop. Yes, my first

Yes, it is a great experience. I was on a 72 mile group ride a couple of weeks ago. I had been riding with a few other riders at a nice, quick clip (with my Homer amongst all the crabon fiber), when a fast pace line came by and the other riders jumped in with them. It was a bit too fast for me
