Quoted from the CR list link below...
"The Classic Rendezvous list focusses on bicycles made from the beginning of the Twentieth Century, up to about 1983. We also consider "on topic" makers of very fine bicycles that can be seen as "Carrying the torch" for classic style cycling...."
I was assuming Rivendell as "carrying the torch" - if I assumed wrong I apologize.

I'm sorry, but aren't Rivendell frames off-topic for this newsgroup? After all, there were no Rivendells made before 1983.
