Uh, hideous? really guys. i think their bikes are
fascinating. the lugs are no more over the top,
curly, ornate, bizarre than many others. it's great
that so many frame builders care to put personality in
each bike, that is what makes them so interesting. i
may get a Riv-bike this year, after i move to a bigger
apartment. and i hope to get another older italian,
swiss, or english pure race machine, too. each has
its place.
