Fwd: [RBW] Grant at College Park Bikes - DC metro area

[Joan Oppel]

 Should have made note that this is DC metro area in case someone hasn't heard of College Park Bikes.  They are a Rivendell dealer, I believe.  And within 1/2 mile of a metro stop, though of course, you'd have to get there early in order to take your bike on Metro.  I might ride there from Arlington and then Metro home. Though not sure....have to think about route planning (also, I'm retired so have the time to zig zag around to get there).

 See the new Blug - ride at 5, talk at 7.  I'll be there with the Bleriot.

My son is a freshman at Univ of MD (College Park)... He's been more into cars than bikes, but I'm trying to convince him this is a great opportunity to "turn his life around"... :)

I'd be very interested to see how many students turn out for this event, or whether it's a mostly an older crowd... I also wonder whether the Rivendell culture is perceived by the price of the bike (which may not be within financial reach of the average college student, or their parents paying for college), or whether people appreciate (and embrace) the basic underlying principles and attitudes towards bicycling...

Are you going, Bobby?  I'll be there, I expect, and hope to be on the Mystery Bike

The Mystery Bike!!! Another reason not to miss this event.  

[PittsburghRider]

Hope to get down early thursday from Pittsburgh, then return on friday.  Maybe overnight with some friends in Annapolis, or just grab a room nearby.

Looking forward to meeting some of the Riv Rally East folks.

I won't be going, but just wanted to mention that College Park has a
long history with classic steel bicycles. About 10 years there, I
made a side trip to see them while I was in Baltimore for work. I
also know they had a devastating incident some years ago (fire?
theft?) that seriously reduced their inventory. One thing I remember
is lots of beautiful frames hanging around the shop.

There's an outside chance I'll be there, but if not, here's a preview - and a bonus. There are two great shops in College Park, not far from each other. College Park Cycles is maybe the biggest and best, but Proteus Bicycles is worth a stop too. Larry Black is THE guy at CPC, would give Sheldon a run for his money in the deep knowledge department, but you have to literally nail him down to get a word in with him. Busy guy. - probably has sold more lugged steel bikes, tandems, triples, quads and recumbents than everyone else put together. I've sold him a number of bikes from my own stable over the years, mostly old Paramounts. Always a fair deal. If you need Honjos, he has 'em. Nitto? No problem. Tubus? You want black or silver? That left side saddle support from an old Campy NR post? You want NOS or used? Hmmm...maybe a never-built up  Trek 720 frameset? Don't bump your head on it! You get the idea. 

Anyway, here's a sneak-peek at what you'll see hanging in the rafters there, and at Proteus if you get a chance to stop in. Like I said, both are worth a visit:

Hope to see some of you there! Bring money...something hanging in there has your name on it.

College Park Bikes has posted some pics of the gathering last night:

http://www.bike123.com/Grant%20Peterson%20slide%20show/

only of the discussion, none of your beautiful bikes pictured - it was nice to see the a good collection of Riv's together out in the wild though

Is there a proper term for a collection of Riv's out in the wild? Gaggle? Flock? Clutch? Herd? Drove? Litter? Swarm? School? Cast? Skein? Muster? Colony? Team? Troop? Pod? Bevy? Horde?

Thanks for sharing Proteus as well as CPC.  When I first moved to this area 30+ years ago I had an old Mercier with tubulars.  Proteus had affordable Clement tubulars and I would make the trip up there to buy them.  Steve

I favor "a muster of Rivendell," myself.
