That is one handsome bicycle! The dark green has always been my favourite
of the Appaloosa colours, sad that I missed out on one all those years ago.

Thank you Brendon! I really like the color, and I don't see a lot of Joes
in this color. It is a wonderful riding bike and I hope to post a couple of
ride reports from southwestern Wisconsin.

Ok, so it sounds like my instinct to use the Dremel to trim it back is what

Thank you for sharing this story. I think most people assume you need
carbon or aluminum with drop bars to join in group road riding, I know I
did for many years. I rode a carbon Felt Z6 in group rides. It was a great
bike but not comfortable on any ride honestly. I didn't realize how

Good for you, Leah.
I have probably ridden more in the last two months than I rode all of last
year. I still need to double my riding speed before I think about riding
with groups again. Right now it is just LSD - LONG SLOW DISTANCE, for me.

Good for you and congratulations. We'll want to hear further club riding
experiences. Also, we'll want to know each and every one of the lightening
tricks to get the Platypus down to CF road bike weight.

What a journey you've been on! And a brave one, I don't think I'd have ever

Joe pointed to a 51cm Hunqapillar frameset, telling us to snap it up.
The auction ended just now and it sold for $3383.33
Us old timers remember that MSRP on first run Hunqapillars was $1500.
That's some pretty good value-retention for a used one, even in a rare color

That price doesn't seem unreasonable. No one is going to make a Hunqapillar

It's a weird* frame, too. The top and bottom head lugs don't match, which
is a story I used to know but can't remember now. But if you want that
frame in those colors this is one of the very few. Someone will build it
and and have a great time.

Yeah I'm pretty baffled that it's taking months to make a couple geometry
charts. I miss the days when Rivendell were unusually transparent about
geometry and frame details, rather than cagey and defensive as they are
now. I get that it's unusual and they're worried people will misunderstand

Drew,
They did make smaller ones specifically for the hub area rack, and used a
swanky attachment system consisting of a little pocket for the lower
portion of the rack and an irish strap for a rather robust attachment.
Funny thing is they are about the same weight and volume of some modern
46 matches
