Bike looks great, Kim. 

I’m pretty smitten with my newly acquired and built Suz.

It is comfortable and that in itself matters a lot. It is a keeper. I do

I am in love.

The two pictures below are:
1). The bike what it looked like from the seller before he sold it to me.
2). My bike after one year of ownership with all of my personal upgrades.

This is my first Rivendell bicycle.

Over the course of a year, I have learned to fully appreciate it in every way as a senior cyclist. I delight in the upright riding position with the Nitto Bosco handlebars and Nitto Techomic long stem, the elongated chain stays and wheelbase of almost 80" for stability and sure-footedness on and off road riding.
