Was reading RR27 this morning - my favorite touring tale, Luka the
Wire-Haired Fox Terrier - and noticed the Vision Thoroughbred in the
adjacent article. There are similarities to the Appaloosa. The author
really liked that bike, and ended the story with a foreshadowing of things
to come...
WOW, with that configuration you should call it your Appa-palooza... Cantis
and 26 in fatties... NICE!!!

This bike is •the bomb*. I think there's the impression out in the cloud
that suggests it's a cruiser built for flat-lands.
More likely when she organizes a Rally for all Rivendell longbikers, she'll
call the event Appa-palooza.

Indeed... yet I somehow can't imagine Liesl organizing a big ride without
it becoming RivChica-palooza...

What a great camping trip (thx to all for posting pix)! The first time I
saw the mystery bike, I thought, whoa, but not in a good way. Then, as
more pics of the diagatubes and long chain stays have become familiar to
me, I think whoa, in a good way. Keven's bike looks terrific-- I want
one,
Liesl,
Last fall, Grant let me ride the Appaloosa and I was amazed at the handling
of that bike. It just felt right. I went there to have Grant help me with
my fit.
In addition, after a lot of discussion, beside bike fit, I discovered that
I was tightened my hip flexors doing sit ups. Again,

Indeed - that bicycle is amazingly capable of demolishing preconceptions.
It is a revelation.
I've kinda-wanted-but-held-off-getting a longbike for a bit. Now that I've
ridden the Appaloosa, I'm very glad I did. Ain't nuthin' like it, and it's
quite a bike.
