I’ve gone through a lot of bikes over the years. I currently have four. This is still my favorite over all time, and the one bike I will never sell. It’s had three paint jobs, and several group sets. I ensure it gets the best of everything even though it’s been relegated to being my ‘car’.

Grant knows how to design bike frames. I’m a big fan of Rivendell. I got a little tired of the classical Rivendell builds with everything having to be aesthetically just so, or you’re not part of the Riv faithful. Found myself annoyed with the gatekeepers and snobs online. So as a rebel, I built it up with a XX1 transmission, black cranks, black handlebars, black suspension post, cranks, etc. Still twined the kickstand though. :)

I hope you get one! You won’t regret it.
