Help needed- Looking for an old Riv Bikes photo
May not quite be C&V, but I think the best chance of someone having it is here. I accidentally deleted a great old Rivendell/Grant Petersen photo of the rider in wool climbing up the hill with what looks like a frosted, thick beard on a very chilly looking morning. Is there any chance that someone has a link or this photo they would be willing to share with me? I'm putting together a collage of iconic bike photos and this was always a personal favorite of mine. It's been quite a few years but I believe this was from an early catalog.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks in advance.

Sorry, I don't have it- I'll bump your thread and suggest the Google group and possibly that Riv Flickr stream...

They have a lot of great ones on Flickr but I am not able to find it anywhere. I think that I literally searched every Riv photo on Google too.

Have you tried emailing Rivendell? They aren't the quickest at answering email (or even looking at it) but I've had good luck emailing and then following with a phone call to get them to look.

Thanks CC, I have emailed Grant but have not heard back. Thanks for the tip about a follow up call. Was hoping that someone here may have had it. Pretty sure I'm not the only one that really liked that one. It was pretty iconic and was very early in the Mustache bars craze.
