Owen, Deacon, Kiley,
You bet. The bikes invite "messin' with." I remember reading the early
catalogs where Grant would make suggestions on different ways to set up his
designs. I remember unboxing that brand new '96 All Rounder and thinking
"now what the hell can I do with this?" The bike changed over the years
through the evolution of riding styles, purposes, and age. And it was a lot
of fun, stress relieving, and cheaper than changing bikes. Although I've
had dozens of bikes in my adult life, collecting and riding vintage, the
All Rounder has always been the mainstay, the flagship, and always
malleable.
Here's a few major permutations:
