I guess this helps me with decisions in some ways. When the fully -lugged clemuno concept was floated, I abruptly halted restoration on my quickbeam, thinking I'd prefer a long bike. (Or maybe decide that I like both, but wanting to make sure I had money set aside). I'm sure the homeruno will be an improved design but, like so many things, it sounds too incremental of an upgrade for me to bother. And the quickbeam has cantis! I don't doubt your intelligence either. (And the whole point of this thread is to share speculation) But I suppose it does make sense to see what shakes out in the end, before giving up.
