I thought this was going to be that bike. Would they do two new bikes in one year? On Thursday, October 29, 2015 at 10:36:37 AM UTC-4, Kainalu wrote: > > Right? Although it's been said over the phone that something specifically > tailored to the 100 club was in the works in the coming year. It

I am so disappointed in their sizing. Once again they left out the over 97cm crowd. I thought the Appaloosa was originally supposed to be for larger riders. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this

These are exactly my questions as well. I'm pretty set on what I have. Hunq (Bosco with 14 cm Ritchey stem, big dirt tires), Hillborne (classic Albatross, Barlow Pass fasties), and Atlantis (classic Albatross, 50 mm tires and fenders) trade off almost all of the duties on my favorite riding. (The

One li'l thing that may also prove to be more Hunq/Atlantis than Atlantis/Hillborne is wheel size. Looks like the small J. Appaloosa had 26" wheels. Going 26" for small sizes would veer in the direction of Hunq/Atlantis & make it even more of a touring bike in the traditional sense than the

I ride one of those Mystery Bike protovelos on 50mm Big Bens. Grant once wrote that it was especially designed for flat-landish commuting. That's my modus operandi, and we get along quite well. He wrote extensively in the Blug on what he was up to while designing his own prototype long bike,

You can see those Protovelos still pictured by navigating back in time on the Blug. What I couldn't find anymore are the descriptions that went with those photos. The descriptions went away after those Protovelos sold, I'm guessing.-Original Message- From: iamkeith
