Tom, Riv's are NOT classics, they are classic inspired. I'll also bet that Grant, Curt, Joe, ETC would agree. Riv's use modern steel, lugs, and paint they aren't using parts manufactured 20 years before. Rivendells are awfully nice bikes but they're not true "classics." If you want to see some true classics please check the CR website or my site < http://www.uweb.ucsb.edu/
