Thanks and shout out to LBS

[Adam]

Hi, new member here, been gathering a lot of info and thought I'd say thanks.

Just wanted to thank the list--particularly the member who sold me the Hillborne frame a month or so ago. (won't call you out by name in case that's not what you want)

I had it built up by a great "newish" LBS, Keystone Bicycle Co here in Philly. If anyone in the area doesn't know about them (I didn't) it's a great shop. They did a wonderful, very simple build and were amazing to work with (so much great attention to detail, and super patient with my questions, decisions, etc)

The bike's amazing, took it for a little ride in the cold rain yesterday, I'm blown away by the handling and responsiveness. I somehow didn't expect it to be so fast.

Adam,

It looks lovely.  Happy riding for many thousands of miles!!!  I think Keystone even featured your Hillborne on their IG stories and posts and I wrote a note (I'm BicycleBertie).  Perhaps we'll meet up on my Joe Appaloosa, AHHilsen, or my Platy!  I'm on the Schuylkill River Trail quite a lot.  

I've been following Zack for a couple of years as the only person in town I'd let work on my Riv bikes.  When he and four friends opened Keystone Bike, I followed him there.  And, now, I let any one of them work on my bikes.  I trust them.  A month ago they did a fabulous job replacing the Dyno light on my AHH and I'm beyond thrilled.  They have great attention to detail and they appreciate all kinds of bikes, including Riv's (two of them own Rivs).

I"m so glad that you got both a fabulous ride and a new LBS!

See you on SRT!

Great looking bike. Enjoy!

Congratulations! I think you'll enjoy it even more because of that great orange color. While purported to be faster I think it definitely makes you more approachable for compliments by onlookers.

Looks great Adam! I'm glad you didn't hesitate to take it right out into the elements where it belongs. That bike will do anything you want it to do.

Yes, thanks again for getting me started with the frame!

With the weather lately, it's been seeing plenty of "elements."

I've also been very impressed with the Barlow Pass tires. I'm not entirely sure how they'll deal with the quantities of glass on the roads around here, but no flats in week 1 . . . The ride, grip, and acceleration are very fun.

Hey Adam, thanks for giving me the opportunity to build your bike for you! An absolute pleasure. 

So glad to hear you enjoyed your inaugural ride. As a mechanic and fellow Riv owner nothing warms my heart more.
