Hi, Here is what I know. Rivendell was asked to stop using Tolkien names after the movies came out. The lawyers agreed that the name Rivendell could remain and they could use up the remainder of the Legolas stickers, After that no more LOR references are allowed. So no more Legolas will be made. Grant doesn’t have a shortage of interesting and cool names for bikes anyways. Who names a bike Joe Appaloosa or Sam Hilborne???
Rivendell will make you a custom frame, but custom to a point. A friend of mine wanted a custom Rivendell, he loved everything about them except the sloping top tube. He wanted it dead flat (Custom road frames have a mild up-slope of 3-deg or so). They refused the order. Try and get disk brakes or a 1-1/8” head tube on a Rivendell custom, I doubt it will happen. I have a few Rivendell’s - A custom road bike, a Joe Appaloosa and a Clementine. I’ve had a Heron many years ago, but sold it. They are all great fun. I only sell bikes because of space, otherwise I would have 50 by now. > On Jan 24, 2020, at 10:16 AM, Braxton Colagross <[email protected]> > wrote: > > You can probably order nearly anything you want and I'm sure Rivendell would > be happy to talk about specifics.
