Alright, Jim's bike looks great in that orange. Maybe I just don't like the 
orange in conjunction with the blue of the roadeo headbadge.

That orange looks to be similar to the paint on my custom Riv:

[RBW] Three great test rides at RBWHQ

Sure. I guess I would say yes to that.  More clearance

By your estimation, does that mean the 650b Hunqs have more clearance than the 
previous model?

[RBW] Three great test rides at RBWHQ

I rode the 50cm matte green Bubbe v1. I don't have a need for it after buying 
my Appaloosa, but I want it anyway.

[RBW] Three great test rides at RBWHQ

[Bill Lindsay]

After voting and meeting with a contractor, I decided to take the long way 
to the office and swung by RBWHHQ.  I wanted to ride the 56cm 650B Atlantis 
again, and possibly put a deposit on one for myself.  I'm planning a 2-week 
Sierra tour next Fall.  I rode it and it was great.  My SH is 75.5cm and 
the 56 650B Atlantis is a definite fit.  It's great. 

But.Grant was there in the showroom when I got back, and he asked "Have 
you ridden the 650B Hunqapillar yet?  It's amazing."  He pulled down the 
53, and sent me out on that.  It is amazing.  It had huge tires, labelled 
584x60 or 27.5"x2.4", with tons of clearance.  It had albatross bars 
andyeah, amazing.  I'm thinking "who would buy my Appaloosa so I can 
get one of these, too.."

But.Grant then insisted that I ride the Green Rosco Bubbe, which also 
was fabulous.  I had ridden the blue guy for the liftatube, but the green 
guy was also incredibly fun.  

Grant and I then spent a while talking about that new ball and socket seat 
lug.  He's excited about it and I think he should be.  While we were 
talking Mark carried in a bright bright orange Roadeo, and told Roman to 
post it for sale.  I grabbed a tape measure and confirmed my guess that 
it's my size (59cm).  The orange is crazy bright, almost neon orange. 
 Incredible.  

No purchase decisions were made, but plenty of temptations to be had at 
RBWHQ
