I've only seen a couple other Rivs here in LA - a woman on a stunning red Betty Foy on La Brea and a guy on what looked like a well-loved Atlantis on 8th Street. I commute most days on a silver Quickbeam. I wish there was more bike-gazing to be had here.

[RBW] Re: Rivs by city
A couple of weeks ago my wife Kae and I brought my Sam Hillborne and her Betty Foy to the Cities, about a 3 hour drive up the river. What a great trail system and what a great city! We got lost several times but were having so much fun enjoying the weather and the town from our bikes that it really didn't matter if we were lost. We're quite the couple riding together with our Rivendells. Riding along out of Lake Calhoun on the Midtown Greenway a gentleman recognized our bikes and shouted out RIVENDELL as we rode by. Kae and I both love our bikes and are always pleased when someone recognizes them for the beautiful machines they are.

Re: [RBW] Re: Rivs by city
Indianapolis is in the midst of another bike boom, and a large part of this boom appears to be Riv/Surly influenced. I can count at least 10 Riv's that I see during my normal commute and I am sure there are more. Quickbeams are the most common, but there is a beautiful Sam-orange Atlantis less than a block away. There are at least two Legolas, one of which I see frequently. The Riv influence is also clear in the many 80s and 90s mountain bikes that have been modified as commuters. My daily ride has been a B-stone MB3, made more comfortable and useful by generous advice from Riv. It has Alba bars on a dirt drop stem, Nitto racks and a Wald basket, Marathon tires, a crane bell, and a German mirror. it is a marvel of function. It has performed so well that it took me over two years to to buy a Hunqa. When I stop at the coffee shop in the morning my MB3 is usually leaning next to an an XO3 and a Stumpie that have very similar builds. Complimenting the many repurposed MBs are lots of LHTs and Cross Checks. A handful of Gunnar and Bilenky spottings are the result of a long standing connection between Indianapolis and Minneapolis/St Paul. Part of the motivation for the commuting boom is a Mayor that passionately promotes a complete streets transportation model for the city and a tireless advocacy group that you can out more about by searching INDYCOG. These are exciting times for bicycling in Indianapolis, we are not the Portland of the Midwest - I would give that title to Minneapolis/St Paul, but we are coming up fast.

A small handful of Rivs and Riv-inspired bikes here in the college town of Moscow, ID. Some Rivs come and go, never to be seen from again. The permanent residents seem to be a large Homer, my Homer and at least two large Atlanti. When I'm feeling especially frisky, I'll park my Homer next to the one other Homer and create a concentration of Riv not seen this side of Seattle/PDX (I'm sure). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

[RBW] Re: Rivs by city
I've seen a few RIvs around Tucson, including a very nice blue Atlantis. I know there are others, one being owned by the guy who organizes the bi-annual GABA (Greater Arizona Bicycle Association) swap meets in the spring and fall. He coordinated several of the area Rivendell owners (including me) to display their bikes, answer questions and pass out Rivendell catalogs during a swap meet quite some time back. If you're reading this Grant, why not do this again during the Fall swap meet in November? I think Tucson area bicyclists would be interested in seeing your latest catalogs and some local owner's bikes.

Re: [RBW] Re: Rivs by city
I live in brooklyn, old brooklyn that is, not wanna be NYC Hipsterburg or
Bushwick or Park Slope and I have never seen another Rivendell here. Really
not surprising since most of Brooklyn is working class and Rivendells are
somewhat decadent, albeit lovely. I do get some nods and good chats with
people on LHTs and other Surly bikes but I have yet to see another
Rivendell out here in South Brooklyn. I do get the typical mix of comments
asking if the bike is either old or expensive. I had some old man berate me
that spending more than 100 dollars on a bike is way to much, haha.

Re: [RBW] Re: Rivs by city
Rare as hen's teeth in Winnipeg, but I know that besides the 2 I own there
is a fellow bike lover who has 3 or 4 (early pink all-rounder, a custom or
2 and I believe an AHH)
Another fellow I know had an early Sherwood forest Road standard..may still
do.The other multi-Riv owner and I do not commute on our Rivs; that is
probably asking for trouble around here,sad to say. Lots of bike theft, for
reasons known only to the thieves themselves,unfortunately.

[RBW] Re: Rivs by city
In New York City, well, I bought my Bleriot last summer from a list member in Bklyn. I ride it every day on my commute, lock it up up everywhere and it does occasionally collect a few nods and comments of appreciation ... but I can count on one hand the number of Rivs I've seen around town in the past 2 1/2 years. I live in Manhattan and well, the majority of shops here are concerned with what you would expect for a large city with a staggering cost of doing business ... that is, lot's of catering to the racer/carbon fiber end of the market. There's a huge community of racer and racer wannabe's in the greater NYC area. And honestly, it's beautiful. Everything I've ever learned about cycling as an adult I've learned here. From commuting on the first crappy Chinese mtb's back in the mid 80's to later being adopted by Team Bklyn and then Team Gotham ... guys from every imaginable ethnicity who graciously tolerated just how badly I sucked at mtb racing, cyclocross racing and road racing ... NYC has given me everything I could have ever asked for on a bike ... except for the seed of love planted by the feel of wind on my face and beauty of leaving my troubles behind as a seven year old who finally was able to get up on his two wheeled stingray ... but that's another story. I've (mostly) left my CF racer days behind and for the last year and a half have been killing it on a 650b Saluki up and down the Hudson ... River Road, 9W, Piermont, Nyack, Haverstraw by woods trail, Bear Mountian, etc. ... and while that bike picks up more compliments than a pretty girl in a short skirt in midtown, again, I just nearly never see any Rivs on my travels ... I know they're out there 'cause I read about 'em here ... but invisible, we seem to be ...

[RBW] Re: Rivs by city
What Beth said, but replacing the PDX token with SEA. I know that I can make three butterscotch Salukis materialize in front of a coffee shop within a couple of hours on any given weekend, for example. I know of at least four AHHs, a fleet of Bleriots, and a slick of Atlanti, and a flight of Rambouillet. It's fun to see them out and about, and now that the SH, BF, and the Hunqa are selling so well, those models reside here in meaningful numbers. I know 4 work colleagues who have purchase a Rivendell bike as a direct result of seeing and trying mine, and that's kind of cool. Over the past 10-15 years, we've had a number of shops at least dip their toe into the Rivendell Dealer pool, and that's been a major influence. I bought my (first Riv product, very early in my un-racing career) Romulus from Elliot Bay Bikes in or around 2002, and I've shopped at Aaron's Bicycle Repair in West Seattle over the years, even though it couldn't be less convenient to my home. Today, FreeRange Cycles flies the can't-be-sold Rivendell pennant, and Kathleen and her crew do a great job with the line, selling it alongside Surly, Salsa, Rawland, and maybe one or two other brands, all of which are set up for utility. Today I try to buy half of my jank from Rivendell online, and the other half or so from Kathleen (both of my boys are on Surly's purchased from her shop). And then there's the guy on this list up in Marysville who not only rides Rivendell, but who also does things to dilapidated bicycles from decades past that simply defy description, reinvigorating them (different than restoring, though he does that as well) to perfection. His collection is the one place where I can always see the direct linkage in terms of utility and aesthetics between what worked then and what Rivendell reincarnated or renewed in their line.

[RBW] Re: Rivs by city
I am aware of at least a dozen other Rivendells in Portland, including: --All-Rounder --Rambouillet --Redwood --Romulus (a few of these, actually) --Bleriot --Riv custom (a very early one, still being ridden daily by its owner) --Atlantis (again, several; and this may be the most popular model here) On top of this, I've lost count of the number of bikes whose owners have "Riv'd" them out. The ones I've seen now number in the hundreds. Evidence of the amazing influence of one company's approach to cycling.

[RBW] Re: Rivs by city
I have seen another Riv in Boulder only once and Boulder has a pretty active bicycle culture. On a path I passed a woman riding an Atlantis, then immediately slowed down to look at her bike. A guy at the shop where I take my car has an Yves Gomez but I've never seen the bike, my SimpleOne caught his eye when I dropped off the car one day. I know Rivs around, or at least think they are. I see some references to Boulder in this group. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
