I feel lost when I go there now. It's just a big photo of someone riding and my first thought is always, "Ok now what do I do?" I like Analog's page with a slide show of things to click on right away if you don't want to go search the menu. It's like a "welcome inside and look around" sign. O

That Riv Reader is great! I need to sit down and re-read them all. That one shows 3 sizes of Wilbury, none of which are 52". My girlfriend is 5 feet tall. She has a Trek 7.2 FX WSD right now, but I wish I could get her a Rivendell. Her bike has 700 wheels but a very steep toptube, and I think f

It amazes me that frame has never sold. I don't believe it's ever even had parts on it. How tall is your gf? My very vague memory of these bikes is they were based on the Toyo-then-Waterford Homer, which will be a shorter front-center more conducive to dropbars than the current Cheviot/Platypu
