The Mystery Bike/Appaloosa happened shortly after I discovered RBW, so 2012'ish sounds about right. My memory is that Grant put out feelers for 10 people to buy a new bike, completely sight unseen with no input (I don't remember if they were allowed to choose color) into the bike. I don't re

Another unsolicited chime-in: I have a 1st generation gray Hunqapillar and I can confirm that in the 54cm size, RBW's listed "effective top tube" is the "actual top tube length". I think the 54 cm is listed at something like a 584 mm ETT when it is in fact, 599.2. Also, my 54cm easily acc

Yes, I am running with tubes and the Dyad is at the lower end of RH's recommended rim width, but I've seen Jan state several times that rim width doesn't matter with supple tires, so I wasn't concerned about it. The narrower rim may require a higher pressure, like you and others have suggested
