As a kid I rode Stingrays and Stingray knockoffs. Then at age fourteen I stopped riding altogether. Many years later, in 1996, a friend passed me his Rivendell catalog and told me I might like it. He was wrong. I loved it. Read every word of the catalog and Reader for ten years but still didn't ride at all. Finally I caved in and bought a Miyata 710, and then a Univega Viva Touring, and then an Austro-Daimler Vent Noir II (completely beautiful but I was in awe of it), and then a Univega Gran Rally, each festooned with at least a few Riv bits. While I liked each bike, there was still something missing. Then one day about a year ago my wife asked, "Why don't you just buy a Rivendell?" Bought a Hillborne. It is not only my favorite bike, but one of my best purchases period.
