Perfectly stated, Ben! I have a Lightningbolt Disc in large part because I
wanted to support a small company that was disrupting the bike industry,
but I was also curious about low trail. I plan to buy an Appaloosa in the
next batch in a large part because of BRF, and secondly because I don't
Confession; I got to work with Rory before his demons killed him. It was
both a joy and a tragedy, he was such a prolific talent and one of the
sweetest people you could meet. But daily in the studio, by mid-evening he
had drunk himself to the point of no return and we spent the next 6 to 8
I enjoy the “Bike Brand Guru = ‘70s Guitar God” game way more than I enjoy
listening to ‘70s guitar gods.

Well one of the interesting questions that follows from the Riv/Crust
approach is whether anyone else is doing the same thing. If not, why?
The only example I know of for certain is Stooge Cycles in the UK, which
has an approach based on limited runs of production
bikes made in a major Taiwanese
I don't think anyone is disputing the notion that Rivendell and Crust are
niche brands that have created a feeling, or lifestyle or culture around
their brand. Those words sound not quite right and maybe a bit too
