Greetings
My wife and I are fortunate to each have a Goodrich and have ridden them extensively. In my view, the big advantage of Curt's bikes over the Rivendell customs is Curt himself. We had the opportunity to work with him personally and there is not a nicer person anywhere, in or out of the bike industry. He loves what he does and shares that enthusiasm with his customers.
The Rivendell custom's clearly bear the mark of the craftsman Curt is but the experience of dealing with the builder directly was far more satisfying.
