Re: [RBW] Riv Owner Qualifications
This isn't my list, so my thoughts on the matter are to be taken with the appropriate grain of salt, but I'd be inclined to say that interest in the topics discussed on the RBWOB list is probably all that's required to participate. The conversation revolves around Rivendell Bicycles, bicycle components, and riding in the Riv-way, but I have never encountered any form of exclusivity from participants with regard to the particular bicycles posters are seen standing near or riding. I'd say that being willing to just ride should be good enough. That's not an official response of course, but it's one that aims towards the sort of inclusion that I've always felt Grant and Co. like to foster.

[RBW] Riv Owner Qualifications
I've been wondering lately, what percentage of my bike needs to originate at Rivendell to qualify as a real RBW Owner? Obviously, a frame will do the trick, but that's something I don't have have, and probably won't anytime real soon. Meanwhile, just about every other part of my bike was bought from Rivendell. Tires, saddle, bar, grips, bar end Silvers, brakes, fenders, double legger kickstand, multiple straps, a Saddlesack, and many of my favorite wardrobe items. Bar tape and one or two accessories weren't ordered from Riv, but are the brands sold there. There's twine wrapped in more than a few places. I've read, recommended, and loaned both the latest RBW catalog and *Just Ride.* A hatchet and some camping bits are likely to be ordered soon. Is there a component percentage or a ratio of parts by mass that determine how Rivvy a bike is? Now, I'm sure I can call myself an iBOB, but as Google Groups go, the tone here is more comfortable. No one will quibble if I lurk or occasionally suggest that if Riv describes a hunk-O-cheese as a good thing to put in a Sackville pannier, then cheese should be On Topic, but am I a Riv Owner? Not exactly, but I'd like to think that if I mailed a postcard to HQ, they'd reply with the same. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.
