I got my Homer in 2011, missed out on the early epochs. I also have a MUSA Atlantis II, but I'd love an older Mixte some day. I really love the early models, they'll always be the true Rivendell's. I have to admit I never saw the need of twin top tubes, especially in stout steel tubing. I also don't get the crazy xtra long chain stays but having never ridden them I'm keeping my mind open. The new Cheviot is MHO one of the classiest frames ever made, so I might have to get up to Walnut Creek soon...
