Taking off fenders to switch to knobbies is not something most people
will actually do more than a few times. After 20 years of 1 or 2 bikes
I am now up to 3 for that reason: commuter/baby hauler, passhunter,

sweet bike. Your

but 2 is really pushing it. Inevitably 1 bike will always be out of
order, and then you would not have more than 1 to choose from. 3 is
just better.

You're joking right?
This is probably as good time as any to come clean. I'd been skeptical of
the Riv ride for a while. Not that it wasn't great, I fully believed it
was, but I didn't think that it was a level above other good comparable
bikes one could get new and used for half or less the
This is a really personal question, i assume there are no real world
problems that are prompting you to ask this question (you need to
money for life things).
If you've never owned a Rivendell, always wanted to own a Rivendell,
and now have a Rivendell, then you should ride a Rivendell. There is
That's a tough call, especially coming from someone who could probably fit
your frame, and might be talked into buying it. So, with that caveat:
There's something that has prevented you from unpacking that box, and now
has you here. Most likely it's a money-to-need ratio that isn't settling

Thanks, everyone for the input. The delay in building it up was
mostly related to a long house move, cold winter, general laziness and
a twinge of buyer's remorse. Also, the Capricorn is the first bike
that is actually comfortable for me so that need to try yet another
bike had subsided a bit.
Aah, *there's* your trouble. I'd never heard of Capricorn, so finally got
around to Googling them. Him, actually. Judging from the NAHBS pics, and
your description of how well yours fits, I can see why the Hunqapillar seems
a tad superfluous. Do you *need* a one? Probably not. Want? That's
Yeah, a couple times I was thinking what's this Capricorn he keeps talking
about -- so now I looked. Haha. I feel totally sand bagged.
