I just have to say that this thing: *seems Faster* than my race-type 700c bike. (tried and destroyed speed records twice). *is Super comfortable* (cushy and very stable ride, transmits minimal amounts of road vibration, high bars, wider tires, low pressures, wider saddle, geometry, etc.). *has Stupendous handling* (I find myself just letting her go longer without braking and sometimes to terminal velocity on descents. Whereas I was braking alot with the race bike due to the "She's breaking up!!" feedback from it.). The Bleriot feels glued to the road and tracking is very stable. Not twitchy at all. And the thing just* looks so nice* I find myself just staring at it sometimes. I love the cream head tube and lugs. *Rivendell sure makes some awesome bikes.* I am really enjoying it. Not that I care about speed all that much. I am just a humble commuter and rec rider. But with the Bleriot, being new for me, and my first non-race-type bike, it is good to know that it *outdoes* my non-Riv bike in every area!!! Cycling is hard enough. And hills are just noxious to me, so it is good to know that a new bike isn't making one work harder than necessary. Can you tell I am a lazy cyclist? Just wish it had a triple crank. But that'll be on the next Rivendell I hope to get. Now I just want to get rid of the race bike and get another Rivendell. *Did you all have the same great experience from your first Rivendell?*
