Kei and I took a trip up to visit the wool wearing chaps at the Rivendell Bicycle works in Walnut Creek. We enjoyed testing out the A Homer Hilsons, the Altanti and the (soon to be defunct) Ramboulliet. The folks were very friendly and not pushy. I got measured for a bike, as did Kei. They measure you on a stump with horsehoes where you put your feet, and then you pull up this stick to your crotch attached to some measuring tape. I ended up coming away with a Noodle bar, some new brake hoods and some TekPro interrupters for the Mercian. Kei is now thinking about the joys of a proper bike.
