    I wasn't happy with the direction Terry Precision was taking, and after Georgena sold the company to Vermont Teddy Bear... I felt it was time to end our relationship.

    They removed me from their system (after being a loyal customer for 15 years) and I haven't been pestered by any of their new marketing.

    Their bikes are made by Waterford/Gunnar now, so I encourage anyone who doesn't have a bike yet that they love with a wild passion to try the contest. Waterford/Gunnar are great bikes.

    Hmmm...
    That is interesting. I did not know that. But for a lot things going on in the world I live under a rock I've been told lol. But, besides the point...

    Well, I also (first time ever) sent Terry a written note on a return recently. Previously the item had been my favorite. Only thing I'd wear. Then the price stayed the same, and the quality went down. I'd actually would have sucked it up and paid more for equal / better quality. Now, I will never be buying the item again as it stands.

    @Tooth Fairy Peeps...yea, yea... I love the tooth fairy too... waking up to cold hard cash under your pillow outta no where to start the day... what's not to love?

    Shipping.... YES.. omg, Terry shipping is so spendy compared to competition... I think our TE is reasonable... well, and just awesome, of course... but back to Terry now lol...

    *note to self: must read fine print better bout 3 bike TE disqualification in Terry rules~ drats, Batman... and yes, let a fellow cyclists with less in the stable get a free bike... that is good karma fair.

    I knew that Waterford/Gunnar makes the frames for Rivendell now, but didn't know they are also making Terry frames - well - they do make beautiful frames so that is pretty cool! I did not know, either, that Georgina had actually sold Terry Bikes. That is a shame, does that leave any female bike builders on the market in the US?

    Only the custom frames. Most are made in Japan and Taiwan. All their frames are lovely.

    Ahhhh, thanks for the correction. For some reason when I think Rivendell, I think "custom", but of course they have stock sizes just as Waterford/Gunnar does!

    BTW, MY Gunner comes home in less than 48 hours - I saw her today but she wasn't fully dressed yet

    Oh you guys are making me feel guilty. I entered the contest. I have a pretty good essay. I doubt that I would win, but hey, I'd love a bike like that made to fit me. And honestly, I hope they award it to someone who can't afford a good bike... but it doesn't hurt to try..
