Here is my pseudo-Rivendell! It's a lugged steel 26" Trek 830. I thought this was the first year, but it's the second year they made them: 1984. I have ridden this bike all over NYC but now it's in storage and I ride my Rivendell most of the time. For me this bike is DIALED IN to just what I want and very patina-ed. I made this video a few years ago but not much has changed in the bike except tires and saddle.
I made a video about this bike. Somehow the youtube algorithm liked it and it has 25k views: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P3dJFTgcJiY Enjoy!
