[BodorNapa]

[troupesvirtues]

i like where this is going on different levels

[icystagg]

once you get your hands on a bike designed

by Grant

your part of a family of cyclists

that share something

special

[bicycleray]

Rivendell`s cycling philosophy reminds me why I enjoy riding my bike so much; it makes me feel free, I forget my troubles and I enjoy the simplest things in life. What a wonderful invention the bicycle is.

[Tofukoira]

76 cm, or roughly 30"

[RivBikeWorks]

@Tofukoira Give us a call. 800.345.3918

[Tofukoira]

What frame size would you recommend for a 5' 7" rider?

[RivBikeWorks]

@Tofukoira Either a 51 or a 54. Whats your P.B.H.? 800.345.3918

[rmcnabb]

Wonderful - it looks like you're riding through the Shire...just need some round doors in those hillsides...

[davidisaurus]

What kind of tires are you using on the Hunq in this video? The grey strip along the sidewall makes me think it's one of the Marathons...maybe the Marathon plus?

[matthewpurpura]

Why aren't you old hipsters-in-denial ever wearing helmets?

Nice bike though-Walt Whitman would have been proud. 

[rmcnabb]

@matthewpurpura - because it's a steel bike - it doesn't self destruct. If you ride a carbon frame, then you should definitely wear a helmet. That's just common sense.

[xbackwaterx]

@matthewpurpura the helmet is simply not tradition. helmets are a grain of sand in the the beach of the bicycle time line.

[inivonwini]

Looks like Briones!

[benshih1]

I love this bike and the video but I can't help but think to myself: "Wait a minute, my 1997 Rockhopper can do all of this just as well, if not better. So why drop $3000 on a bike I don't need?"

[sleach67]

@benshih1

You are missing the whole point of the video - just enjoy the scenery! If you don't need the bike, don't buy it.

[RJMerr1]

Great video, I loved it. I am very sold on the Hunqapillar.

What saddlebag is that and does it have a rack that it sits on?

[RivBikeWorks]

@RJMerr1

Thanks! It's a Sackville Saddlesack Medium. It's sitting on the Silver Hupe that is tensioned with 2 Irish straps that wrap around a bolt on the mid-stay braze-on on the seat-stays.

[mzrascoff]

Where is this shot? Gorgeous!

[robhuang1]

I want to check that trail out! Where is it?

[RivBikeWorks]

@robhuang1 - Shell Ridge Open Space, right next to Diablo

[mohomoho1]

I hate snow when I see trails like this!Nice bike

[jefflmendoza]

nice trail, who needs suspension

[r3photo]

kick ass!

[sisddwg1]

Love it! I'll play it again, and again. Very well done!

[MileHighMark]

It's been 10 years, but I can still recognize those trails. Good dirt!

[schellter]

Very nicely done, in my next life I'm gonna be a mountain biker.

[panchourbano]

I love both Rivendell and Bonnie Prince Billy. Moment of Zen.

[skvidal2]

excellent video, Jay.

[gzahnd]

@ElDuke, no matter how hard you try, or which bike you ride, Chicagoland will never look like this. :-)

...which is to say you should join us in California.

[ElDuke717]

Dangit. Now I'm sold. Gotta get one.

[ElDuke717]

Dangit. Now I'm sold. Gotta get one.

[bigrednuffsaid]

Love it! Let's go riding! Is that California or the Shire?

Great music as well - who is the artist?

[MossJenks722]

Very nice video. One of the best bicycle ads I've ever seen. Well done!

[95ranger1]

Best on yet

[TheSimpleGood]

Really well done Jay. Loved the leg tap music synch.

[bigringd]

Jay, great solo-vid!
