The Pilgramage to Waterford

[jobob]

Not quite.

Rivendell's production frames are built by companies other than Rivendell. The Bleriot is made in Taiwan, and most of the other frames (such as Rambouillet, Atlantis, etc.) are made by Toyo in Japan. The A. Homer Hilsen is currenly made by Waterford (altho I think some are also made in Japan).

Rivendell's custom frames - the ones that are actually called "Rivendell" (as opposed to Saluki, Rambouillet, Atlantis, etc) - are made by Rivendell's framebuilders, Curt Goodrich and some other guy whose name escapes me.

I see.

Right now, given my knowledge base, and pretty much based on looks and reputation...I'd HAPPILY take a SAluki OR a Waterford...;-)

Not that I don't love my own little Morgan horse of a bike...

They're all excellent bikes !

I personally wouldn't be interested in a Rivendell custom nowadays, the wait is well over two years for one. Glad I lucked into a used one.
