Grant is adding a bit of class to commuter bikes with Rivendell, and the marketing reflects that.
I will say though - the Clem L is a singularly disproportional looking beast, yet, it seems to be extremely popular. It's still better than yet another generic, aluminum hybrid cockroach bike with gaudy graphics though.

Agreed! I should clarify my gripe was more with the photos and presentation of their Instagram, which is admittedly petty and personal and not a big deal at all. But IG is the big thing right now and they have a chance to make it drip with Rivendell class and aesthetic. I’m big on this sort of thing so I pay attention to it. That Alex Singer screenshot I posted, for example, screams Alex Singer just by taking one glance at it.
