I'm sure as the audience for Rivs and the number of dealers grow, it may make sense to offer many of the "more affordable" options as complete instead of f/f/hs/bb. Working w/ the dealers, I'm sure it's much easier to move the Rivs once people can actually ride them. Just my $.02 Best, Eric

One li'l thing that may also prove to be more Hunq/Atlantis than Atlantis/Hillborne is wheel size. Looks like the small J. Appaloosa had 26" wheels. Going 26" for small sizes would veer in the direction of Hunq/Atlantis & make it even more of a touring bike in the traditional sense than the
