I sure seem to have stirred up a hornets nest with my comment to the effect that the Rivendell is a classic if there ever was one. I received some E-mails (some from folks whose opinion I deeply revere who disagreed with me. The upside of this is I got some links to some classic bikes in an order to show me what a classic truly is. They are right. Every one is a classic and I was really thrilled to see one about Peugeot PX 10s. A friend is restoring the only Lemon Ice one that I had ever seen. I sold him this treasure about 20 years ago. Let me say this...If we are to discuss only antique bikes, so be it. We may be so hide bound that there is little room for dissent, but I don't think so. I love the idea of a Chrome donut, and I love John Price's stunningly beautiful Rivendell With its' classic attention to detail and wonderful paint and gorgeous lug work. To me it will always be a classic and if you haven't actually looked at the pictures, you should. I'll even enclose the link to them at the end of this missal. My deepest apologies to those who find my viewpoint offensive, but I still believe it to be a valid one.
