Ride Lugged

Cory brought this bike to my attentions. He thought it was funny. I thought it was close to brilliant. I dont know how much it costs, and I’m too lazy to find out, but its got gobs of smart stuff, like a flip flop rear hub, moustache bars, silver rims and fenders with mudflaps. what it should have but doesnt, is silver cranks, a raked fork, rack mounts for the rear… and possibly cantilevers. Cory claims this bike would have come into being if Rivendell/Bridgestone never hit the scene. I say, yeah it would have came into being, but only in Japan. Anyway, its proof that Rivendell is still making waves, and that sometimes traditional ideas can make it onto the market in affordable and almost goodlooking format. -James
