Grants my buddy. Love his bikes and his philosophy is right-on as far as I'm concerned. Just Ride.
Almost bought one of his bikes a few years ago but decided against it because I'd just baby the heck out of it in my garage. Too afraid to let the elements come in contact with it or it get stolen. So I just bought a Bikes Direct Dawes and I practice his philosophy every time I Just Ride it.
I still find myself peeking over at the Rivendell site to kick myself though.
