If they keep all of the current offerings on a "built to order basis", I can see them only stocking the Sam, Clem/Clementine, Appaloosa & Cheviot. That gives them budget versions of a road bike, an all-purpose bike, a touring bike and a mixte. That's assuming a Sam has light enough tubing and the Appaloosa has heavy enough tubing.
