Agreed, I'll have to wait to see if they are just selling framesets. I'm also not too big a fan of the Hillborne blue color. The $400 off is very tempting though... On Thursday, October 29, 2015 at 10:13:56 AM UTC-4, Jeffrey Marco wrote: > > Really liking the look of this bike, It's got me

[RBW] Re: Joe Appaloosa geometry

Really liking the look of this bike, It's got me considering selling my Atlantis, but I certainly don't want the stock build. I would likely transfer all the parts from my Atlantis to a Japaloosa. The bar looks like it would be stiff and comfortable but it's ugly as hell... Hmmm... decisions,

[RBW] Re: Joe Appaloosa geometry

I think the complete bike is a great deal. The only parts I can't live with are the brakes, but that's an easy swap. I'd have to try that handlebar, too. Not sure about that. The wheelsets are the achilles heel of complete bike builds but these have the Silver hubs, both 36h. That's a great

It's definitely a deeper, richer orange, more like the original Ram. I like it better than the prototype orange, which was a bit too candy/'Public bike for my taste. Anyway, a black 52cm Clementine for me. I'm bad when I have to choose a color, even from a limited palette. And how much can the

If a "Giant" Joe Appaloosa came out for 97+PBH I would be an early adopter for sure. That price point is a screaming deal even leaving wiggle room for personal preferences like brakes, dyno, or cockpit. Blue would not be my first choice but never a deal breaker from my perspective. RWH is

Thanks; interesting comparison. I've used old AWs before and, except for the mysteries of properly adjusting the pull chain, they've worked well and have, if anything, too wide gaps between gears. I'm thinking now of the kickback 2 speed, with a second chain to accommodate the very large cog I'd

Kevin: It’s probably not the cause of your issues, but I’ve found that large tires (I run 42mm Grand Bois on my Bleriot) suffer from reduced side-to-side stability, particularly at lower pressures. Larger tires with supple casings and low pressures allow the rim to move from side to side with

If you haven't encountered rinko before, it's a pretty cool thing. Doubt it'll ever be quite so useful in the US, but heck, I had still planned to upgrade to a rinko headset on my Clem anyway, so this was perfect. The basic idea is to make a bike that can quickly be broken down to fit in a

I think Shoji's Hunqapillar and the Joe Appaloosa have a lot of overlap. The Appaloosa would be awesome for me because I sold my Bombadil to finance a Mountain Bike, and because I don't own a Hunqapillar. Comparing the Cheviut to the Appaloosa, I slightly prefer cantilever/V-brakes for huge

Comparing it to the Hunqapillar and Atlantis, the most interesting thing about the Appaloosa geometry to me is that it appears to be intended for use with a smaller maximum tire size. Perhaps this suggests that it is slated to be even more of a touring-specific bike, than the jack-of-many
