Congratulations on your new bike. I've spent the last few months trying to convince myself that it is okay to pull the trigger on my first Rivendell. In fact, I've come close a few times to purchasing one of the new blue 56 Sam's as well. When you finally do get the bike, I hope that it brings a big smile to your face.
