At the local Ben Franklin (half-price frame sale right now), I picked a frame 
similar to the one my first Hiawatha Cyclery poster is in, but in cherry 
instead of oak with a bit of matting, and non-reflective UV-protective 
conservation glass, mounted, for about 80... Yeah, more than the poster itself, 
but far less than what the poster will one day cost... 

Have to admit, looking through DLG's catalog, there's several others I *really* 
wish I could afford, but are past my range for posters...

I was at a giant antique mall yesterday, and after I realized that I could 
look for frames, I was happy to browse while my wife looked for other 
things.  It occurred to me that what I'd like is an oak frame with a 
"Mission" or "Arts & Crafts" vibe.  Didn't find anything yesterday, but who 
knows?  There's a bit of wiggle room on the size, with a custom mat (which 
it will need anyway). Steve

Mine showed up today.  Yeah, it is better than shown on the interweb.
Wasn't sure I'd like it when the first version showed up.  But, it's very
good.  For some reason, looks like "California" to this person from
fly-over land.  It's now in a Target frame on the living room wall.  For
anyone who cares, an 18x24 frame works swell.  Had to take down the
Rivendell bike model poster to make room.

Thanks for sharing this Zack.  I was wondering what DLG would write about 
this poster, having read his other writings on the poster site.  His 
reference to the Sacramento Bee is cool, since I grew up reading (no 
delivering) that paper.I have my poster now and can say that no 
computer image can do it justice.  No one who orders one should be 
disappointed.  Steve

Just got mine today.  Love it.  Beautiful stuff.

Also, since I waited for the surprise, I of course now wanted to see it on 
the riv site and on the DLG site, and came across the description on the 
DLG site of the poster, and loved it, wanted to share:

*In 1957 I was 12 years old. I had a paper route for the Sacramento Bee; I 
had a bicycle; I had money; I had freedom. That's pretty much what the 
bicycle meant in the pre-automobile era: freedom. Freedom from parental 
supervision, to be precise. Pre-automobile in the 1890s meant that there 
weren't any automobiles yet. Pre-automobile in the 1950s meant that you 
weren't old enough to drive. When you reached 16 and got your driver's 
license, you left your bike to your kid brother and cranked up the family 
Ford. Bicycles were children's toys, something you left behind when you 
attained a man's estate.*

*In the 1960s, college students rode bicycles because they were fast, 
cheap, and campus parking was free. The bicycle again became a symbol of 
youthful exuberance, anti-establishment hipness and freedom, only this time 
of freedom from the tyranny and expense of the automobile.*

*We have become as little children again, riding our bikes and having fun.*

To get it vacuum mounted on board will cost you about $30-$50. 

When the Postes begin to cost $100, as they will in the future, a $200 
frame will seem a lot less crazy.

quoted $150-300 depending on how fancy by a local frame shop.

I'd really like to split the middle between museum-quality display and

2012-06-29 Thread Tony Lockhart

It all dependsdo you want to spend more or less? If you get the posted 
matted, you're going to have to pay more. The upside is that it'll look 
slicker and will probably fit better assuming the poster is not cut at a 
standard size. If you skip the matting, you'll save a bit of money. So, you 
should consider the wall space that you have available, budget, and 
intention. If you really dig the artwork on the poster, have some extra 
cash, then you should spring for a framed/matted poster.

I did the exact same thing---got it pinned to a cork board in the garage 
right above the spot where I park my bike. I've also got one of the Riv 
1-buck-buttons in the bottom left corner just for fun. I'm attaching a 
picture, but I made sure to NOT include the poster.well, not that much 
of the poster.

I really like the definition of "cherish" and the talk about 
*beausage*mentioned above. I think that we (as a society) tend to get fixated 
on 
*things *when we should be focus on the *experiences*. I really like how 
the folks at RBW promote values similar to this. These values are implicit 
in words like beausage and the title of Grant's book. So, for what it's 
worth, I'd definitely encourage others to not think of this poster like 
it's the original Mona Lisa.

[RBW] Re: The Poster--What to do now that you have it

2012-06-27 Thread Lynne Fitz

I was going to pick up a frame and then hang it on the wall with my 
rando-bling from last season.  Yes it is a poster.  It is also a work of 
awesome craftsmanship (both the company and the lithography).

Optional "margin of goodwill" menu item is a great idea.

margin to survive, and I'm sure most of us would have still made the purchase

Maybe they could create a catalog item for "margin of goodwill" or something 
for folks who would want to go back and chip in a few extra bucks. Make it six 
dollars, and three goes to a charity.

2012-06-27 Thread John Dilsaver


The poster, and some other assorted bike stuff, is scheduled to arrive here in 
remote s.w. MO later this morning.   So, I'm curious to see it. 
 Also, I'm having some of my colleagues from work over this weekend, --- I'm a 
high school math/physics teacher in the middle of summer break;--  at school 
I'm usually fortunate enough to get to eat lunch with a group of art teachers 
(sculpture, pottery, drawing, design), -- it's the lunch group that'll be here. 
 I'm interested to see what they think of my new "art acquisition". 
 Having an actual art object to show off will be quite a contrast to most of my 
show and tell items at art lunches, -- cool proofs of math theorems, physics 
problems and so forth. . . .

I second this sentiment and also the suggestion for a "goodwill" item from 
which to order.  Agree that I would have ordered at a low intro price 
whether $20, 23, 25, etc.  I'm sure that many others here would have also.

frame it up.  Americanframe.com used to have good pricing on custom 
frames/matsor a local frame shop might have something pre-cut that'll 
work just fine.  DLG works do seem to appreciate in value, so don't 
drymount it (seal it to a backing board, some framers will do this) or tack 
it to the wall!

2012-06-26 Thread Lee Chae

I felt the same way. If you block the feet with your finger/hand, you lose
the personality of the kid. And the kid is really what the poster is about,
imo. In addition, without the feet he looks imprisoned. Finally, with the
feet, the wheel is free to spin, and that's something kids (including us
big ones) like to do when they see a wheel, give it a spin (at least me and
my little dude like to!).

The feet are the best part! Block out the feet and the image loses its 
balance. Older bike posters had naked women holding handlebars and flying 
through the cosmos---I can only imagine the Realist Uproar over that. But 
Rene, you can't be sure that the bike wasn't suspended above the ground, 
staged for the photo-shoot. In this photo, Keven was behind Milo, hands on

[RBW] Re: The Poster--What to do now that you have it

2012-06-26 Thread William

I took mine directly to Reprint Mint for professional mounting.  We do a 
lot of poster art in my house, and have had everything mounted there for 
the last 20+years.  We usually do a frameless mounting style.  It's like 
the poster is on a block that's almost an inch thick.

2012-06-26 Thread Andy Smitty Schmidt

Perhaps I'm short sighted... I hung mine on the wall with push pins. No 
disrespect to the artist, but In my mind it's just a promo poster for an 
obscure bike company that I like. I figure the heavy paper is so the pins 
won't tear out. The objects to cherish are the bikes that that obscure bike 
company makes... and by "cherish" I mean "use as often as possible".

Put another way... pushpin holes are poster-beausage.

I have way too many posters to frame them all, would be thousands of 
dollars to do that!  we hang all of our prints up using alligator clips and 
thumbtacks.  (and i am 36).  my wife works at a graphic design firm, so we 
get prints all the time, plus we pick them up from concerts that we go to, 
etc.  i think we have like four framed posters.  

This one might get a frame.

Haha, at least you get a cubicle. I am in some Bloomberigan walless
nightmare. I try to use my daughter's artwork to build somekind of barrier,
better than staring at the girl across from me in the face for 8 hours. I
should get a standup frame for the poster to better build the barrier.

You work in IT and you have a boss who has been hassling you about no
personal items in your cubicle? When they come by next time remind
them that the shortage of trained IT people is a good reason for you
not to be hassled about having a sparse cubicle.

Re: [RBW] Re: The Poster

2012-06-26 Thread islaysteve

I don't have my poster yet, it's due to arrive on Thursday.  A few comments 
on comments... When I saw the first design, I noticed the boy's foot under 
the wheel and I just assumed that the bike was suspended; either in a 
workstand or hung up some other way.  Grant described the artist coming to 
RBW and taking many many photos.  Who knows, maybe the boy was actually 
doing this to a bike that was suspended.  After looking at most of his 
work, I'm not surprised that the artist used a child in the poster.  I 
think it's perfect for Rivendell, emphasizing the child-like joy that we 
get from our bicycles.   My slight quandry is the "Rivendell" on the 
downtube, along with a diagatube (sp?).  To me, this implies a custom bike, 
which is entirely possible, of course.  It makes sense that he would put 
Rivendell on the bike instead of Bombadil or another model.  Just wondering 
about the actual bike "model".

On mounting the poster, I found a good article yesterday and thought I'd 
start a separate post about it, with a link.  As you might imagine, there's 
more to know that (we) know. 

I agree with the commenter who was taken aback by the thought of RBW losing 
money on the early posters.  Business decision was made, Grant seems to be 
OK with it.  I'm so glad that this effort is a success for him and RBW.  
Without getting too gushy, he has helped bring another enjoyable "object" 
into the world.  It's a delight to look at, easy to use, and is available 
for less than the price of a good shirt.  Not to mention that even at the 
new price, it's more affordable than other DLG posters.
Everyone enjoy your poster!  Steve

Re: [RBW] Re: The Poster

2012-06-25 Thread Philip Williamson

I put my poster up in my new cube, as the first personal touch. When the 
head of IT came by and hassled me about having nothing personal in the 
cubicle, today, I could step aside and say, "What? I just put up a poster 
this morning!" And then I looked at it and thought, "what is going on with 
that kid's feet?"

For me, the simple idea of a bike in a workstand with a toddler on the 
loose makes me grimace and curl my hands into fists. I had this horror of 
my toddler losing a finger to my Quickbeam drivetrain. I didn't get a 
workstand until he was 11. 

Bikes... belong solidly on the floor around little kids. So I prefer to 
think that the reason you can see Milo's feet is magic. Levitation, hinting 
at the feeling of flying you get from riding.

[RBW] Re: The Poster

2012-06-25 Thread BSWP

Two further comments:

The thing I noticed right away are the spokes that are coming 'round the 
outside (left side) of the left fork. Just the way my brain works, it zooms 
onto those small details. But the Poster is not a photograph, nor a 
technical drawing - it's an art piece, and it is best appreciated in that 
light. It's beautiful to behold.

Also, on the pricing, while I sure do appreciate the low price for a DLG 
original print, I cringe when I read that RBW was basically selling them 
below cost to early adopters. I want RBW to stay in business and be 
successful for a LONG TIME yet to come... but how can losing money on the 
first 640 posters possibly help that? Maybe they'll serve as advertising 
and drive new customers, but I bet anyone who displays one is already an 
evangelist for the marque.

As the brother of an artist I have just come to accept some things as they
are without asking too many questions but it is not easy. Sometimes it
seems stuff is out of perspective or askew but I have learned to take
artistic items in thier totallity.  I am a ceramic artist (unprofessional )
and find people in my art take too much stock in detail, the shape of a
handle, the cut of a lip, etc. Some of my nicest stuff were things that
were done offhand and I had to look at for a while to love them.  Dont let
a foot take away from the total quality of the work, I am gonna frame mine
and try to squeeze it in the meager wall space I have left, my wife hates
to cover the exposed brick, haha.

Re: [RBW] Re: The Poster

2012-06-25 Thread René Sterental

Yeah, I had thought that the bike on the stand theory made sense, but my
mind didn't like it because Rivendell bikes are meant to be ridden. It is a
good explanation and does indeed take me in the good direction of Rivendell
inciting curiosity on a child who will then likely want to ride the bike as
he grows older. His expression certainly goes along with this idea, and I
do like it a lot. Rivendell bikes certainly gave me a new cycling life and
I do feel like a child around them.

Thanks for bringing this up and appeasing my troubled mind. I can now look
at it and feel excited about it. Also, as I plan to mount it and display it
in my office, I'll be checking out how many people react at the foot and
that, in itself, will be quite entertaining as well.

What do people feel, is it better to mount it as a poster or to frame it
under glass? H

Hadn't noticed the feet before but I think the bike is in a workstand
and the front wheel is off the ground.

FWIW, my wife thought it should have been an Atlantis but we're kinda
partial that way...:)  I love the expression the kid's face.  He

Re: [RBW] Re: The Poster

2012-06-25 Thread René Sterental

I got my poster today, as I was out traveling last week. Everyone who has
posted so far has had nothing bad to say about it, so it feels that many in
the bunch feel that nothing that comes out of RBW has any flaws at all.

While I like the poster, and do not regret buying it sight unseen, I can't
say that it is what I expected it would be. I didn't look at the artist's
website so I had no preconceived notions except for what my own sense of
excitement at the mention of Rivendell.

Since those who have not bought it yet can actually see what it's about on
the Blug section, I'm going to be a bit more specific in my comments:

I like it, but am not overwhelmed by it. What does bother me, though, is
seeing the boys foot/shoe showing under the tire. Aesthetically (or
whatever term is appropriate) it bugs me because my mind questions how can
that be possible. Is he lifting the bike? Doesn't seem so, did then someone
rolled the bike over his foot? Doesn't seem so either as the bike doesn't
seem to be tilted up. Anyway...

Other than that detail, I believe that like almost all of the RBW frame
colors (with the except of the Hunqapillar gray) the more I look at it, the
more it will grow on me. That is, unless the issue with the foot under the
wheel also makes me more and more uncomfortable...

Can anyone come up with my explanation that allows me to go "Aha!!!" and
makes the whole foot thing make sense?

At least if I end up not liking it at all, I paid the lowest price by
buying it unseen. I do like RBW's price escalation scheme as it supports us
wild risk takers... :-D

Hope no one gets mad at me for this post...

2012-06-24 Thread Pepe Demarest

Such serendipity!  
Not wanting to spoil the surprise, I never looked at the artist's site. 
When the poster arrived, the style looked familiar, so I looked more 
closely at a poster my wife has had since before our marriage--a poster of 
Cafe Chez Panisse from the same artist.  Needless to say it made talking 
her into letting my hang it in the living room an easier job!

Re: [RBW] Re: The Poster

2012-06-23 Thread gep71154

DLG likes to show the posters on his site, and I don't know if it's there 
now, but I told him go ahead...since I didn't want to make him part of the 
waiting/surprise game--which he seemed happy to do, but ... so that led to 
the slow-leak thing we're showing on the BLUG. 
I am really so glad that you-all like it. It was a nervous thing. I mean, 
many of us here (Bay Area) are familiar with his work, and it was a 
dumb-huge-irresponsible thing for us to go forward with it, considering how 
crummy our French posters sell---for a lot less. I really thought we'd have 
a ten-year supply.
I'm also glad nobody has taken me to the mat for "not showing." It could 
have been construed (tho incorrectly) as manipulative or weirdish power or 
something. We, here, had 2+ years of wondering what it would be like, and 
it's fun to know it'll be Not Bad and Worst, and yet not to know any of the 
details. 
He came by and shot Milo (Keven's son, then 1.5) for an hour or so, took 
250 or so photos and said only ONE was just right, and this is it. So, he 
signed one to Milo, which Milo will have when he's 60, and that'll be kind 
of neat. Anyway, I just want to say thank you all for being so nice and for 
liking it, and for putting up with some shenannigans that aren't meant to 
be bad, but aren't smooth and normal. This has been a wonderful experience. 
Goines was shocked that we could sell more than 640 posters without anybody 
seeing one. But, if you know his work, you know it's...a tiny gamble.
Yes, thanks..

The reveal is only one color layer at a time so you will be pleasantly
surprised when you get yours & see the finished work.  Included is the
artist's explanation of the process & the short answer is it's quite
exacting and time consuming.  Make sure to shake out the box
completely.

I know the cat's out of the bag with them posting pieces of it but i wish 
they had waited until next week to start the reveal so that folks on the 
east coast would get them first.  While i had no reason to go to DLG's 
site, i still read the blug regularly and i paged down before i realized 
that they were revealing bits and pieces of it.   

less of a surprise for us, still looks like a great poster, need to find a 
place to hang it now...

My poster arrived on Friday. What a treat it was to open the box, unfurl 
the poster and see what it was. I've always wanted another of Goines' 
posters (I have his UC Berkeley School of Optometry poster). The one he's 
done for RBW is perfect! Thanks to all who made this possible.

Chester Arnold's paintings are at the Sonoma County Museum, which is downtown

I think the show is up until September, and admission to the museum is $15 for

[RBW] Re: The Poster

2012-06-20 Thread Tony Lockhart

I definitely do not like surprises and usually make informed decisions 
before making a purchase. However, given that the poster is only $20, and 
that I like to support the folks at RBW, I had no problems ordering the 
poster sight unseen. I'm just outside of Los Angeles so I'm hoping it'll 
arrive sometime this week.

I will point out that I was not pleased with one of the recent "surprise" 
products from RBW. Does anyone remember that super secret and amazing 
garment that would revolutionize riding? I remember reading a couple of 
Blug posts with a presale on a sight unseen product---which ultimately was 
a MUSA Windshield. I really thought that was a failed attempt but I don't 
fault the guys for trying.

Back on topic with the poster. High quality prints of contemporary artwork 
usually will run out about $20-50 depending on the paper and print quality. 
Having seen some of the art work on DLG's web site, I think $20 SHIPPED is 
a drop in the bucket to support his work. Can't wait until mine arrives!

I actually took a look at Arnold's work and was really pleased with the 
quality of his imagery. I can't imagine how much time and effort was put 
into meticulously adding in all of the detail.

I've been a printer and a painter, and the further you get from making

I looked at the artist's work as well, and I'll just say that I am a total 
sucker for that style of poster.  Being a left coaster, maybe I'll receive 
mine soon!

My order is in the queue.  Along with a Bosco t-shirt.  Am happy not
knowing what it looks like.  In fact, I haven't even visited the artist's
website too look at his other work.  This way won't be unduly influenced
(either good or bad) in comparison to his other work.

It's fun!In an age of instantaneous gratification on googling something 
on the internet to find an answer, instead, there's a bit of a suspense, or 
better, anticipation, in not knowing exactly what it looks like ahead of 
time.  Like making a kid wait until Christmas morning to find out what's 
under the tree, instead of telling them "It's an X-box with a couple of 
games"...  Or whatever.

When there was a first hint of a new poster, I'd emailed G, to 'get on a 
list' for it.  At that point, even the artist wasn't announced, and I was 
in.  I suppose it's big news in SF, or certain circles, but, I'd not heard 
of the artist before... looked through his site and liked his work, new I'd 
love it, but, it's fun to not know what's going to show up when it arrives, 
just that its coming

So many times I miss out on stuff like this by procrastinating. I saw this 
thread and then just went and ordered it. Glad I won't be missing out. One 
thing with RBW, if you see something you want, get it ASAP, you snooze and 
you could loose which was my situation with the brown MUSA shorts.
