Jim I figure your comment is aimed at the perception a potential buyer would conger in their mind when a sales person states " this bike is so versatile" they reckon your asking them to make a compromise in value and function which is the furthest from reality when designing a Rivish bicycle. We humans are so fickle when it comes to perception. Then again if a fellow or gal rides with a carbon race centric group then they would be looking through a narrow prism.
Mike ( leaf Slayer), I think it's okay to say the Hilsen is highly versatile and then decide to leave it in one set config for a while. I'm always short on time and would rather use my time these day's on the saddle as it were and not tinker so much with one bike's config and rather have a stable of bikes with different purposes, that's my intent at least. So I'll use my old Salsa Ala Carte for pure MTBing, Hilsen for mixed terrain, commuting and touring and the Trek 660 as a light quick hop on fitness ride. Admittedly, this may cause a resurfacing of the one bike or a stable of...topics and I apologize in advance :-) Hugh Sunland, CA On Thursday, May 16, 2013 11:11:26 AM UTC-7, Jim Thill - Hiawatha Cyclery wrote: > > From a sales standpoint, versatility sounds too much like "compromise". -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
