Thanks to both of you! We haven't booked anything outside of Denver yet so the mountain towns are definitely a possibility and very appealing. As you say, we would get more out of leaving Denver that way. Route length/difficulty: My wife is OK with 20 mile outings, but starts to balk at a ride

If you run Rivendell's bikes thru a trail calculator, you'll see that the more all-roundish bikes like the Atlantis, Bombadil & Hunqapillar have trail measurements in the mid 60's. The more roadish bikes, like the A.H.H., Sam and Roadeo all hover around 60. I think the head angles and rake

Well the reason I brought that up was because the Atlantis and older models had 40mm of rake, the Hunqapillar saw 48 and 50mm of rake, and the Appaloosa saw 52 and 54mm of rake. And they all have been around 71-71.5 degree head angles. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to

Actually Grant has seen his designs change and evolve over those 30 years - that's one thing that many appreciate about him even if they don't agree with every change and evolutionary step. Those early Riv roads aren't the same as the Roadeos, nor does the current crop of long-chainstay bikes

I, too, switched from a M to S after talking to Grant on Saturday. He reminded me that in the Hubbah infancy the sizes were M, L and XL, so really, Bill, we did get mediums. His other point was age and hip flexibility and how high you want to swing your leg over and how old you would still like
