Russ at Path Less Pedaled posted a new YouTube video of his recent visit to Riv HQ and Grant Peterson.

I just watched this and came here to post it. Here's the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5_K2UFRs_qA

It's a great convo with Grant - a lot of stuff we've all heard before, but also some little tidbits and peeks that are worth the half hour. I really want a purple Charlie now, but I wish Grant was still talking about horses all the time.

If the lug bandanas and the new knickers come in on the same day, I think it'll be a long tomorrow in the shipping department.

I enjoyed the interview very much. As a recent first-time Rivendell owner I am happy to hear Grant talking about bikes. Russ and Laura do a good job of emphasizing the non-competitive aspects of cycling, which is always appreciated.

The latest Grant Blagh also pumps my anticipation for lug-bandanas. On top of that...Anna doing karaoke! That was sensational.

I'm glad to hear you're excited about the bandanas, Bill, I am too. I designed 'em!

Nice work Eric!

Grant made a big mistake saying in the video they were going to price them at $8. I happily paid $20 for a PAUL bandana and I would have happily paid $20 for this one. At $8 they are going to sell out fast, and there will be handwringers who didn't get one, and bellyachers complaining that they were overpriced at $8, and more whiners when Grant's prophecy comes true and they appear on eBay with a markup. People! Haha.

Thanks, Bill!

Fortunately, I don't think they'll sell out right away. Let's just say... they are getting a lot of them. Made in the USA by the same people who make the Hav A Hank paisley bandanas we all know and love.

From what I understand Grant wanted the pricing to be low because in certain situations a bandana needs to be disposable or consumable. And at $20 that could really hurt!

I suggested the fancy bandana makers but Grant said no way, too expensive. They might have also had a hard time hitting the quantity for the order. I think getting the price down was a great way to go. That'll ensure we can all have a small hoard of them.

Lots of bandanas for the win! I'll spend the extra on other fun stuff.

Using the Add 10,000 to Cart trick, there are something like 3900 bandanas, so that's LOTS, and if they run out this month, we'll know it's a bandana hoarder.

I only bought 250 of them, so there are plenty for the rest of y'all!

[narrator voice]: Bill bought two bandanas...
