Same thing happened to my wife last month, you will be walking and riding

One last quote, then I will stop. If you can handle the cost of a high
quality lugged steel frame, and you can get one that fits and is
well-suited to the kind of riding you intend for it, then that's the way to
go. You'll never look back on it and think, DangI wish it were
tig-welded.

I love Rivendell and the people but when your mantra for 20 years is
Always lugged it seems a bit disingenuous now to say hey we have tig

All of my griping aside I have never known Rivendell to make an ugly or
