For some of us who have had back pain with more modern bikes Rivendells have always been a breath of fresh air. I started buying them in 1997 and have not looked back, they made riding possible for me again.
I do prefer the Rivs with the shorter for Riv chainstays. Nice bikes for those of us who have issues with more aggressive geometries. For me not koolaide but a practical comfort. Glad your aluminum bike works for you.
