I love the steel bikes and the practical approach. I enjoy reading Grants writing because I like to write too. I don't own a Riv frame but I have purchased quite a bit from them in the last few years. I especially want to thank Grant for the tip on Teva sandals and wool clothing.......wow! I always sensed what Grant was saying was correct and that good bike fit, design, and the practical approach was just being overlooked by the younger generation. I really like the no nonsense viewpoint on the retentionless method of pedaling. I always questioned the logic of being attached to those small uncomfortable pedal cages while needing to wear hard soled "cycling shoes", just to be able to bear the pain. There isn't much worth mentioning that I don't like about Rivendell and the philosophy of cycling Grant proposes. As a long time self employed person I understand under capitalization and its effect on business. Because of that, I overlook some of the inventory shortage problems. I don't believe many of us remember how to wait for much of anything. Our fast food, instant gratification culture has done wonders towards making us a nation of impatient cry babies. And now I shall step off my soapbox!
