i've ridden a Rivendell Rodeo a bunch of times. those guys just let me take the bike..return it whenever. (my wife bought a bike from them) it was VERY comfy. maybe too comfy.. but damn, it was fun and confidence inspiring. the tightest u-turns of my life. it is a good bike. more grassroots that i would want, i think. my next bike will have disc brakes.

hence it has me looking at the myriad of custom builders we have available.
I have a Vendetta custom that I bought secondhand about 6 years ago. Once I converted it to 650b (32mm tires with fenders), it became just the bike I wanted. It's comfortable all afternoon, lots of fun and begs to be ridden more. And with a fender removal and tire swap, it makes a great dirt bike too.
