Tastes have changed. Disc brakes opened up a lot of design options for
randonneurs and touring bikes, making real rough stuff much more
manageable. I have no intention of trading in my thin walled rSogn 650b
rim brake or my beloved and much abused Marinoni Turismo. But I bought the
Marinoni
Thanks for all of your wisdom, advice, and suggestions!
Special thanks to Jim for the links to the old readers! The story on the BS
Atlantis was illuminating!
I had no clue about the Handsome XOXOs! I've seen them on ebay and CL
before, but never batted an eye at them.
Now, I'll keep an eye out
The original Clem used 26" on the smallest size. I don't ride a frame that
small but I liked that the wheel size changed with every size. Part of me
still wants a Heron or XO or something with a 26" wheel. Its a small part
though.

"what's stopping frame builders from building this sort of cross between
road/MTB on 26 inch wheels?"

There are similar bikes that *can *run 26" wheels due to using disc brakes.
The Velo Orange Polyvalent comes to mind. As much as I love the 26er I
don't see anyone outside of custom builds combining that wheel size and rim
brakes anymore

Great looking bike!
Bridgestone Atlantis was pre-Grant, designed by a Bridgestone employee in
Japan who took inspiration from French constructeurs, so a different kind
of bike than the others you mentioned. There's a Riv Reader article about
it that I cannot find at the moment but will post
