I've banged this drum elsewhere and I figure since I'm about to accept delivery on one myself, I should ask and answer the question myself and see what others have to say.
I had a few things involved: 1. The basal arthritis (so far predominantly in my right hand) has become enough of an issue that I can only ride bolt upright. I even tried recumbents again but I just can't stick with them. 2. I saw a custom on the Rivbike site that wasn't quite a diamond frame but not quite a mixte, the toptube was somewhere in-between. I liked that look for a low-stepover frame. 3. I'm not getting any younger (57) and my hand is telling me my "ride a bike every day" years are numbered, so it was time to jump if I was ever going to get that Rivendell Custom I've always dreamed of. I asked Grant to design one that would get them Boscos way up there. I'd love to hear other's thoughts, plus this thread will serve as a spot for pics of my new frame when it arrives.
