[RBW] Rivendell BBH Visit

2013-11-21 Thread Corwin
Made the trek out to Walnut Creek this afternoon. Wheelbuilder Rich Lesnik 
gave me such a great deal tuning up a couple of wheels, I felt compelled to 
visit Bike, Book  Hatchet to drive up sales.

Having seen many photos, I was expecting a nice venue. But this place is 
really spectacular. It really fits in well in Walnut Creek. You would think 
it a boutique from the sidewalk. Even inside, everything is incredibly well 
displayed and very appealing. All the cabinets have latches with monkey 
fist knots. Nothing in the store is frivolous. Everything has a purpose (in 
that way, BBH does seem rather unique for Walnut Creek).

There seemed to be lots of foot traffic through the store while I was 
there. I think things will continue to pick up.

Thanks,


Corwin

I was coming back from Sacramento on Tuesday and stopped at the new Bike, 
Book and Hatchet location on Main Street for opening day.  Definitely worth 
a visit!  Don't miss the stick the lug to the rare earth magnet game.

I picked up the new catalog and a few odds and ends, including the new 
Swedish green long sleeve wooly which has become my new favorite.  Great 
seeing Grant again.
