several Riv blessed photos of the prototype Appaloosa frame.

I'm realizing what the most interesting-to-me part of the most recent Blug post
is. It's the graphic just above the plate of food.

That picture is the new bike which will be called the Appaloosa,
correct? And it will be cheap (by Riv standards) and take wide tires?

There has been no statement that the canti-Sam (AKA Joe Appaloosa) will be at
the budget price or will have TIG welds at the headtube.

I'm so confused. And those blug posts have done nothing to clear the confusion.
Riv is not putting the Sam on vacation, or is putting the Sam on vacation?
There are two new bikes, the Clem and the Appaloosa. Which one is a
budget bike? Which one takes cantis? Which one has super-long
chainstays?
I think Anne was just wondering which of the two concept bikes was
illustrated in the photo. Understandable, since we've managed to confuse
things so well at this point.

I'm pretty sure the golden/yellow colored bike just shown is the large Clem
Smith Jr. Prototype. It's partially tig welded, will be about $1500 for a
full bike and may be sold only as a complete.
The long green bike that someone else posted is the

I did not intend the reply to sound snarky. I had just before sent a reply
directly answering Anne's question. That first reply said, It is the Clem
Smith Jr. After hitting send, I decided to add another sentence to the reply
to serve as elaboration to add to my first reply. The two sentences
I think that's MOSTLY right.
- As for the blue bike, I'm betting on red herring - at least until
someone says it's official. It does sound like the idea has progressed
beyond paper though, and that there may be some actual prototypes out
there. Until we get some official spy photos
Thx! For the right price . . . naaah. ;-)

That looks like one arm of a fork crown, complete with a possible

I was hoping they were finally embracing internal wiring for lights, they
already have some bikes with threaded fork crowns, I know my old bombadil
had one.

Did I get that right? the Appaloosa is planned to be a canti-Sam with more

The Joe Appaloosa model sounds excellent. Thanks for the description.
The description makes me think of the big blue bike that sold at the garage
sale last June (to Kurt I believe) and can be seen in a photo in the June 9
Blug entry.
Anyway, that alongside Sam sounds like the ideal bike

So all of our wild rampant speculation was for naught.
OTH, the welds on the HAR are stunning, and having the hoop optional is
kinda cool. Keeps both the hooped-up the hoop-less happy :-).

Are the Nitto racks tigg'd or fillet brazed? Looking at the close-ups, my

The frame's headtube/top tube junction is clearly tigg'd, though.
