Hello and introduction

[Gs InIllinois]

Have been on here for a few months, lurking around and getting some insights into the world of RBW.

Not an owner yet but getting one is definitely on the short-term bucket list.

Came here because I was looking for a Mixte for my wife when some Betty Foys and Yves Gomez came up and research led me to this site.

Decided to go a different route though and bought a new Soma Buena Vista which I am currently building up.

Originally form Germany, I now live in the far NW burbs of Chicago.

I am an avid biker (riding and collecting), did a lot of MTB while living in the Alps but then switched to road bikes given the circumstances in IL.

Getting older, there is definitely a need for something more relaxing and practical, i.e. hauling groceries, runs to the post office etc.

So like I said, I hope I will be a proud owner of a Rivendell soon.

Looking forward to further tap into the vast pool of knowledge and advice here on RBWOB :)

Cheers

Guenther

Welcome, Guenther!  Glad to meet another bike loving person.  I commute on a Clem Smith and I was thinking what a great ride that bike, and my Roadini give.  I look forward to having the same or better joy.  

Best regards,

Andy

Welcome. 3 1/2 years ago, I came here to learn and get opinions too-- and I did! The group was super helpful. With the superior Riv ride, I'm riding me often and for longer distances.

Are you leaning toward any models? Looking forward to seeing your 1st Riv.
