It's interesting when you reach that point where you have to say "hey,

kidding, it isn't that bad, but I do think that Grant unfairly criticizes
mainstream MTB bikes and riding, though. I've ridden modern full suspension

Well, if you put one of these on an old "non suspension corrected" 26" MTB
frame that expects a 405mm A-C crown, and use a 27.5" front wheel, it will
lift the front end about 10mm, which is a good thing IME with old MTBs. Not
sure how the increased rake and larger wheel will affect things.
I seem to recall reading that when Rivendell was starting out, before they
locked in Waterford as the builder, they had sample frames made by a few
builders. The only name I can recall is Richard Sachs. I wonder if this is
a sample frame made by a builder identified as "B".
