This is my first post to the "Bunch", but I went from Giant road bike to Bacchetta recumbent to Rivendell Sam Hillborne all in 2009. I chose Rivendell after reading an ad in Bicycle Times magazine on the Sam Hillborne and it described me perfect. I sold the recumbent and roadbike and have not looked over my shoulder since.
