Amen! I was thinking of Grant's influence on cycling and components and accessories now readily available -- as they were not, 20 years ago -- this afternoon as I rode home from several errands on my Fargo equipped with Silvers, Noodles, X2Ds, Camper, 46 outer, etc: he really has been a boon to cycling. It's good of Jan to acknowledge G's contribution.

Though I have been following Bridgestone-Rivendell since 1993, I didn't realize, or had forgotten that Grant designed the Nitto Noodle handlebar.

 

I too look at my bikes and see Grant all over them: larger frames, higher handlebars, fatter tires, Brooks, Carradice/Baggins, Nitto, TA/Ritchey cranks, platform pedals, sub53T large rings. And these components are hanging on four frames he designed (A/R, Road Standard, Quickbeam, Legolas).

Thanks so much Grant! You breathed new life into my cycling after the post-racing-days doldrums.

 

And thanks Jan for your contributions to the alternative cycling reality.

 

Took the Legolas out for a brisk 75 minute ride this afternoon in celebration of a 42F high temperature.

Rode the modified low trail, downtube friction shifting, Son Schmidt/Edelux lighted LHT to work.

Nice post, Jan. My favorite part about the "Hi-tech" mumbo jumbo on a
particular frame was the last phrase... "The decal comes off
easily"... Sometimes you just gotta do what's right...

I am grateful for what Grant (and Jan) bring to the bicycling world...
a bit of grounding and sensibility... THANK YOU!

And Happy New Year to all.

Between the RR and BQ I've never been happier mixing the philosophies
of Jan and Grant to suit my cycling lifestyle. Although Jan's bike
selection seems to be pretty Riv-free these days, his Journey of
Discovery and recent homage to Grant have made me realize that Jan
didn't go from training wheels straight to a Singer or Herse. There
was a progression very much like my own.

[PATRICK MOORE]

And I've noticed that Jan is more cautious in the manner in which he expresses his opinions and conclusions; this was especially clear in the most recent issue -- which is one of the best, IMO.

As to the RR: impatient readers want to know: when will we get # 45 (or is it #44)?
