The Bridgestone XO-1 is where it began for me, and I happily teamed up with Grant to help Rivendell get started and then Rona Components, Willow, and Heron. I've had a Rivendell ATB (Waterford, early on), Riv Road (Joe built), a few Herons, a Quickbeam, a Bleriot, and a Cheviot. And my wife has a Glorius. I definitely associate more with the earlier designs, and the original prototype Heron Road and Riv Road are still here. I've evolved more along the lines of Jan Heine, preferring classic road bike designs and riding position, with big tires. I never warmed up to the Cheviot though I tried a slew of handlebars. I sold the ATB and the Bleriot here a couple of years ago. The type of riding I do is largely dictated by where I live, with lots of dairyland roads that are mostly well paved. I don't have mountains or many gravel roads within 100 miles. There are some mountain bike trails in the vicinity, but I'm not willing to drive an hour each way to go for a bike ride - I'd rather spend those 2 hours riding!
