Well, here are all five of our bikes, three of which are Rivs:Quote:

Also please notice how nice my tig-welded non-lugged steel Luna looks all decked out in 'retro' canvas and leather! :)
Gorgeous bikes! What sort of bag is on the front of Brian's Rivendell Rambouillet?
That's a Filson brand country type bag (not intended for biking). Brian designed a metal brace/frame to mount it to the bike's headset without altering the frame in any way. He's very ingenious. :p I added added some stitching so that the metal prongs would slide into the bag's back pouch and hold it snugly.Quote:

(actually, their wool selection is quite good, and I do need another pair of wool long johns, and the restaurant next door is good, and the drive to Walnut Creek is pretty, and maybe we will go after all) ;)
I get quite a kick out of Grant's commuter being an old Stumpjumper. It is beat to heck, and has a well-worn bar bag on the front. One of the employees pointed it out to us last time we were there.
Alright Mrs. KnottedYet - I am now convinced that a vacation and a trip to Rivendell are in order. I think the "restaurant next door" was the most attracting part :DQuote:

$25 initial cost, probably $400 total
lugged steel frame used, $25 on debit Matercard, upgrades parts and labor $400 on debit Mastercard, look on the face of the carbon riding roadie as you pass him or her? Priceless :D
I love the look of consternation (nay, panic!) when you pass them, and the way they instantly pass you going all-out. Then, a mile or two down the road you pass them again, and they don't bother. (it's even BETTER if you're wearing a skirt at the time)Quote:

I'm usually the one getting passed but I do give them cause to slow down while passing.
OK, it's not me, it's the bike, but still.
Zen: That bike is lovely. Beautifully done. :D
