I've had these old Riv articles linked off of my blog for a long time but don't know that I've mentioned them here. If you scroll to the bottom of the page you will see a bunch of files/pdfs of old reviews of Riv models and Grant interviews, etc.: https://sites.google.com/site/renorambler/Home R

Wonderful set of images. Arguably, the A/R morphed into the Atlantis, and became the best-selling design of the Rivendell lineup. But, every bike which GP designs seems to be eminently versatile in its own way. Gorgeous set of photos, Addison. - J -- You received this message because you a
