I think every modern "tech" bike looks bastardized for fit - roadie,

Just one Riv so far. 58cm Rambouillet, one of the early ones in orange. I
love, love, love the bike but it's almost too pretty to ride. I am trying
to remedy that.

Well, if there is such a thing as geometric bastardization, I'm guilty of
multiple counts. Probably the worst is my Trek 520, which I bought long

Yeah a lot of people don't realize that there is zero offset between the
guts of the Thomson seatpost and the shaft. The layback version of the
Thomson just gets you back into conventional 'laprade' style seatpost
territory in terms of setback.

Howdy,
A recent purchase of a 62cm RB-1 and an upcoming Vacation, has led me to

It's designed to flip/flap over and thus cover whatever you load into the bag.
If you use it that way, in most cases you never need to snap the big covering

Thanks -- I suspected that was it, but then the design is so careful with

Ah! This post inspires me to emerge from the shadows-of-the-lurkers, and
report that I own one Rivendell, a
56 2TT Green Hillborne, purchased just after the announcement of the new

I have three. My first was a Sam in 2009, then a Hilsen in 2010, and this
year an Atlantis. All of them were bought new at Rivendell HQ. What I
didn't know when I bought my Atlantis is that there is a $150 discount on
the third bike bought at Riv. I thought that was very cool.
