Here for several days of work with my Friday. Need relief from sitting and being in my head! As always this listserve is so helpful in these situations--thanks in advance for any advice!

No actual Riv dealer that I know of.  But paradise garage is pretty cool.  They sell salsa, surly and some other interesting stuff.

I also like Baer Wheels.

Yeah,  I thought about them and google-mapped it.  I assumed you didn't have a car, so figured it was too far.  But I forget who asking!  108 miles on the folder??  (or bus there, buy Riv, ride back!)   Cheers, Steve

I would second Baer Wheels and Paradise Garage.  Both on N. High St but miles apart.  Busy street but it's scenic as you go through the OSU campus.  At Baer Wheels go in the back and see what sort of interesting bikes are in for repair.

Liesl:

 

Celina (Countrybikeshop.com) is about two hours northwest of Columbus, and we are a Rivendell dealer. 

You'll need a car to get here though.  We're open Friday afternoons and all day on Saturday's.  Send

me an email ( country...@frontier.com ) if you think you can make it up this way.

 

Regards,

I forgot to add that anyone visiting Celina should set aside enough time to visit The Bicycle Mueum of America

http://www.bicyclemuseum.com/ .  It's on the way from Columbus and is well worth the time to visit.  It's the old

Schwinn collection, plus much, much more.
