For most folks, whether I'm riding the Quickbeam or the Hilsen, it's like an
alien ship is hovering along next to them. After they ask how old it is
("aught-seven" or "aught-nine"), they often offer that they've never heard
of the brand. If I say it's Rivendell design, or designed by Rivendell, t
With the lugged steel construction, Walnut Creek geometry and fatter tires
room, they sort of do say "Rivendell." Some models (like the Rambouillet)
also say "by Rivendell" in small letters under the model name, or (like
Saluki) on the head badge and/or seat tube decal.
