It's gorgeous. The very first Riv I ever saw live in person was in San
Francisco and looked just liked that, a yellow/gold/mustard Road or
LongLow. It's a lot of money but somebody needs to build that frame up and
ride it.

My all time favorite Riv of the three I've owned is my A Homer Hilsen, by a
narrow margin. It’s nearly perfect in every way —fit,size,ride
quality—except for one thing: It is not a step though frame.
As I’m getting tired of throwing my leg over the saddle and I’m now

Hot damn Erl, was this your introduction to the Southwest? Good start...for
its beauty and because you picked a region that isn't too topographically
challenged which makes things nicer the first time around. Haven't toured
in that specific area but have done a fair amount a few hours to the
+1. It's not hard to do. In fact, some wide Planet Bike and SKS fenders
come pre-cut.

I'd love to know THAT story. At first I balked at "NOS Rivendell" cuz how
is that possible, but there really is no sign this frame ever carried
wheels, brakes and derailers. Sheesh!

Doug,

weight on a few occasions! ;)

This would be a tough call, but as I get older, the Saluki gets more
comfortable. I imagine the Atlantis would hold up better to wear and

This is such a tough choice! I love both Clem and Platypus, but if I could
have only one, it would be my mermaid Platy because it is elegant, agile

Speaking of Clems, I was disappointed mine didn’t come with the Clementine
name sticker. When I called to see if I could get

The expected answer from me, of the bikes I own, would be the Bombadil -
but I'm not so sure I can say that confidently. It has the versatility and
tire clearance to be a one-bike, even for my high varied riding (from
brevets to mountain bike trails), but I like how the Hillborne rides more!
One of my big regrets of my Clem is not paying Riv the $40 or $50 they
wanted to install the fenders. Instead, they just arrived in the box.
After a particularly cold rainy ride a couple of years ago, I finally
installed them.
Now it seems I cannot adjust out the tendency of the chain to rub the

Mine would be a custom Clem. Painted a sparkly light pink with that
pearlescent look, built up with all Silver components. And it would have
custom decals with her proper Clementine name, no more Smith Jr! Oh and
definitely a different head badge, something colourful and pretty, the Clem

I think Grant, in his casual manner of speaking, means “typical.” And I take
that to refer to diamond frame.
I might say that no one has worked harder to make mixtes/step-through frames
acceptable to men than Rivendell. Erasing the Clem H and only offering that
model in the L version was huge.
Curious that he uses the term "normal" for other than mixte. What's
"normal"? A diamond shaped road frame? A step-through (which is different
than mixte)?
