Seems like every Rivendell gets a nice "old" bike compliment at one point or another. I'm inclined to appreciate the the compliment no matter how awkwardly it is given. There is definitely an objective appreciable quality of remarkable craftsmanship in well made things of any sort. Uninformed compliments about our nice old bikes are the most genuine in my opinion. Maybe it helps people to reconsider the popular idea of how a great bike is defined.
