Why I love Rivendell...

Oh my oh my, they have all the cool bike stuff that is so hard to find because it's "out of fashion!"

Someone posted about the current trend of "Rivendellizing" other bikes, which just gave me a warm cozy glow and made me smile.

Sounds like Nerdy-Fred is in style enough (anti-style?) that Poseur-Fred is wafting toward us?

(seems as though there are two definitions of Fred, so I shortened them to Nerdy <out of fashion and functional> and Poseur <slave to fashion for appearance not function>)
