My latest PMR (which applies to nearly all of my bikes) is an early model Gunnar Crosshairs that I plan to use mainly for commuting. I bought the frame and fork for a good price and swapped parts...

I don't think I ever posted photos of my newest PMR in this thread. It's a Ritchey Breakaway Cross that I bought off eBay for a bargain price. As a homage to Rivendell, I put some Jack Brown tires...

The Soma San Marcos is the real deal -- Rivendell designed with all of the features their frames are known for, at a reasonable price ($950). If you are dead set on a Riv bike, the San Marcos is the...

This is a great thread and I enjoy continuing to follow it. The important thing is to decide what you like in a bike and build it. Rivendells are bit out of my price range, and the ones that aren't...

Again, I am not a Rivendell basher, but I wouldn't call it a no-brainer to pick a Sam Hillborne over a Gunnar Sport. The Sam Hill only comes in 4 sizes, ranging from 48 cm to 64 cm, in 4 cm...
