big of a tire is country for you? If you can find one, the QB and SO both 
make fine country bikes in my opinion, and take at least 45cm tires. I used 
to ride my QB all around the trails and fire roads of Mt Diablo with 45s. 
To be honest, with a ss, I did a fair share of hiking with it too. Or you 
can use any Riv with either a White Eno, or a chain tensioner, as Will did 
with his Hunq.

It's the new name for an updated Cheviot with v-brakes. I did a thread for it 
called Fancy Cheviot you can check out, we didn't know the new name when it 
started.

What kind of bike is the Platypus? Has Grant said?

Yep with prototypes at RBW WHQ and early graphics in the blug/blhag, 
Platypi by xmas seems plausible. Barely hinted at 1 speeds, not so much.

Right now I'm just hoping the Platypus - which I don't need and may buy anyway! 
 - lands by Christmas. I wouldn't be holding out for a singlespeed Riv this 
year...

Given all that’s going on, I wouldn’t be surprised if late 2020 becomes spring 
or summer 2021.

I actually asked Grant about this when he did an AMA on Reddit. Here was

I was also wondering about this recently. I remember reading a mention of 
it somewhere along the way (Maybe in a GP blog post?), but I haven't been 
able to find it again. I'm definitely interested in learning more, as I 
have some single-speed aspirations myself. On my end, its looking like it 
might come down to waiting for the new RBW ss to come out, or going with a 
Black Mountain Cycles canti Monstercross when their next batch arrives in 
Novemberish.

Still in the works, but there have been no updates, and no pictures... all 
we know is that the idea exists. As I understand it, the bike is on the 
back burner for a bit.

[RBW] Re: Single-speed country bike(?)

[ted]

First there was the QB
After a hiatus, there was one batch of SOs.
Another hiatus.
Then the Blue Lug instigated FJ Sr.
And another hiatus.

Another dedicated single speed coming out wouldn't surprise me.
I also wouldn't hold my breath.
RBW has a lot on their plate at the moment, and SS models don't seem to do 
all that well for them (IIRC the SO's were cleared out at a slight 
discount).
