Well now that I've read the Riv page......I think HS stands for 'handy shopper' but actually I think the mystery bike will be some sort of daily 'transpo' bike capable of hauling stuff and will be built semi rugged with braze ons for practical stuff . I think it could still have a derailleur gear system but only one chain ring with a useful set of ratios. Keep in mind that this is a test for a frame that can be mass produced later which is why I think it will be fairly conventional but with different frame angles etc. that will make it fit a larger range of people without making too many sizes. The words elegant were used so I think more of a city, all rounder, roadster like machine is in the works.
