Not the lightest, nearly the most expensive, pretty as a picture, best damn hubs on earth and they'll outlive you and probably your kids too. Rivendell Bicycle Works – Grant and the guys at Rivendell aren't retro-grouches, they just love bikes from a simpler time. They understand bicycles and put their heart and souls into the ones they make. (I want an All-Rounder) And besides they know Phil Wood personally. I mean they hang out together. Oh and they sell this really weird pine tar soap. It smells like you just walked into the tire department at Sears. Its cool.
