Hi all,

After being introduced to Rivendell a few years ago by a good friend I decided to take the plunge this spring with an older Appaloosa. Dealing with some back issues I wanted something designed with swept back bars in mind. Loving it so far! Currently using it mainly for commuting to work a couple times per week and the odd grocery/beer run. I have since added a Wald basket.

One interesting thing about this bike is it has what I believe to be an Atlantis fork. After talking with Will, we can only assume that the previous owner must have damaged the original fork somehow and all Riv had available at the time were spare Atlantis forks. He wasn't concerned at all. The ride is great and there is no visible damage. I should have caught the issue - one of the pains of buying off a CL ad from 2,000 miles away though!

Hey Vince, did you score that Appaloosa from someone here in the San Francisco Bay Area?

Wherever that fork came from, it looks great (as does the whole bike).  Happy miles to you!
