What pisses me off about Rivendell is that they want you to pay $25.00 to buy a one year "membership", which entitles you to buy their stuff at prices that are still higher than you can get the stuff for elsewhere.

I have bought a lot of stuff from them in the past (I bought an Atlantis frame and all the stuff to build it ... drove over there and picked it up), but now I go through their online catalog and can't find enough stuff I want at a decent price to justify the additional $25 for a membership, so I don't buy from them.
