Gosh, we couldn't be more alike. Since I had a couple of the 80s lugged steel bikes that Rivendells are (to some extent) modeled after, I ended up going for the modern go-fast bike. While I still ride all of my bikes, I really, really love the newer one a lot. 'Course you'll never go wrong with Rivendell. I admire the hell out of Grant Peterson.
