I go all the way back to the Bridgestone days, but my first Rivendell was a first generation Sam Hillborne, circa 2009. I have a soft spot for models from that era. I’m slowly warming up to the idea of longer chainstays though, so we’ll see if my currently-in-the-build-process Platypus ends up winning me over.
