Rive reader in a cork review...

[Michael]

Up to RR18.

Fun, fun, fun! Fascinating articles and so much fun to learn about bikes and components.

 

So far, only downside is that some of the pages are blurred in spots that are annoying to try to read through. Seems like it is happening more as I am getting further along the readers - like after Reader 14 or so. Shoulda held the paper down harder on the scanner or sump'n. But definitely not a deal breaker.

 

My favorite articles so far are the ones about the Steel in the Titanic, and the interview with Lon Haldeman, and some British cat talking about his Randonneur bikes, if I remember correctly (forgot who he was).

 

Lon Haldeman gets pretty medieval on his Brooks saddles to break them in. But I guess he knows what he is talking about when it comes to that, because he has probably logged more man-hours on a Brooks than any human alive.

 

PS- according to the readers, Something Bob Dylan would be a good Christmas present for grant if anyone is wondering. At least that was his taste a few years back. A little too late now, I guess. Already the 22nd.
