That's the one. Love it! Using the s...@#t out of it.
It's attaining beusage quickly. Some scratches. A couple of dents on the downtube from a bike shop. (No, not my usual one). Stickers starting to peel. Ride it on dirt. On the road. Fast, slow. Skinny tires. Fat tires. Unloaded. Semi-loaded. No tours yet, but who knows? I love it when I'm doing a group ride and someone comments with something like, "Man. That was a tough ride. I can't believe you did it on that thing. Sure is pretty though." Or, "Dude, you climbed those hills on that old fashioned bike? Weird. Sure is pretty though." Or, "You do all your riding on that?", "Yep.", "Wow... Sure is pretty." Most people think it's a custom. Especially when they notice the freakishly long head tube. Nope. Production bike. I'm not sure they believe me. (You'd be surprised at how many cyclists have never heard of Rivendell here in Texas.) A british guy called me a "retro grump" and asked me how I like my Arrondale.
