As noted, all-arounder is pretty apt, and also the term Grant uses often.
Of course, you realize that trying to pigeonhole something by categorizing it completely defeats the purpose of it not belonging to a category. I always liked chris kostman's take, with the "rough riders" / "any-bike anywhere", / XO-1 thing, that picked up where grant left off, and was even more militant about the non-category category. http://www.xo-1.org/?m=0 (I think the energy for the site sort of fizzled out after a while, once rational, useful bikes and reasonable tires became more commonplace. There was a time not that long ago when rivendell was all alone in this, though.) It's actually kind of odd that you'd even need to explain or rationalize this to someone these days, in this post- monster cross / adventure bike / gravel grinder / all road / bike packing marketing reality that rivendell spawned. Hope that was a coherent thought stream. Too many beers tonight.. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
