Nifty summary Edwin, missing the Road and Road Standard bikes of ‘94-98. Long time RBW followers know that if you see something you like, buy it. EVERYTHING gets replaced after a short while due to a number of constraints. Some long term projects like Atlantis keep the name but the new version is not like the former one. Similar for clothes, saddles, parts, etc.
