Rumored to have at least one Rivendell mixte as well!

Yes that picture has been around for a while.   But kinda cool to be reminded of it... fenderlines be damned, that's a nice bike.

If I remember correctly, Rossalynn's mixte is the *ORIGINAL* Rivendell mixte!  (Or "girl's bike," it doesn't seem to have the extra chain/mixte stays.)  I believe Grant designed that as a one off custom for the former first lady and it was really hush hush at the time...

Good to be reminded of it again.

Cheers- Mike in (finally, strangely,) seasonably chilly So. Boston, Mass

I believe the mixte is otherwise known as Rivendell's First Lady's bike

That is a very cool photo -- thanks for sharing.
Out of curiosity, does the group know of any other celebrities/public
figures who are Riv owners?
