Just speculating of course, but I took that as a typo for what should have read:
*"Next year also, by internal popular vote, each of these models will come in one color only:* *Sam Hillborne* *Cheviot* *Clem H* *Clem L* *Joe Appaloosa (new tourish bike that splits *[the difference, functionally, between the first and last in the above list of models)]* that’ll be offered complete and with a fancy new bar and some other stuff."* Given what they've mentioned as the target price for the Joe Appaloosa completes, and the fact that any buyer call always ADD couplers but can never patch a frame back together after the fact, I'd be pretty surprised if it came stock with them installed. Unless... ...Wonder what a double-triangle frame would look like with a second tube installed parallel to the *seat* tube. That's just the kind of craziness I could believe might come from Rivendell. It would sure solve the expensive shipping issue. ;-) On Sunday, July 26, 2015 at 7:57:40 PM UTC-6, Wayne Naha wrote: > "Joe Appaloosa (new tourish bike that splits that’ll be offered complete > and with a fancy new bar and some other stuff." > > Sounds like couplers to me. > > On Sunday, July 26, 2015 at 8:21:38 PM UTC-4, Eric Norris wrote: >> >> A "split" is obviously a smaller version of a regular bike, like with >> wine bottles. >> >> Eric N >> www.CampyOnly.com >> CampyOnlyGuy.blogspot.com >> Twitter: @CampyOnlyGuy >> >> On Jul 26, 2015, at 4:55 PM, 'Chris Lampe 2' via RBW Owners Bunch < >> rbw-owne...@googlegroups.com> wrote: >> >> New blug update with a tidbit about 30 tandems coming next Fall.
