[RBW] Re: Where 'O Where is the SimpleOne?
I read about it on the Hunqapillar thread... from the Hiawatha blog http://hiawathacyclery.blogspot.com/ perhaps to clearly distinguish it from the Hunqapillar. A little more road oriented like the Homer Hilsen it is supposed to emulate in a less expensive version. Mikey On Feb 11, 12:34 pm, Michael_S wrote: > thanks ( I think) for the 411.

Michael, Where did you see that the next batch of Sams will be designed for caliper brakes? I missed that completely. Been dragging my feet about getting one . . . this may push me to act.

thanks ( I think) for the 411. I am ok with 3 months or maybe 6 months as I have two other bikes to finish kits and build ( and ride) but I really would like the SimpleOne to fill that niche. I had bought and built a Cotic Roadrat but I wasn't happy with ride. I sold it and now need to backfill. Unfortunately there was a 58 Quickbeam that showed on the Riv site last week. I went back 3 hrs later and it was gone. I was thinking I could wait for SimpleOne but now boohoo I was also secretly thinking that the squeaky wheel gets the grease if you know what I mean.

[RBW] Re: Where 'O Where is the SimpleOne?
I have been surprised how fast Riv has been coming out with new models. Off the top of my head I think the past two years (ish) has brought us the bomba, hillborne, foy and now hunqa and simpleone. When I first started following riv it seemed like there were really long gaps in between new models. It is nice to see so much new stuff, but cannot blame them for putting off the simpleone for a bit to focus on other stuff. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

[RBW] Re: Where 'O Where is the SimpleOne?
I should clarify that I don't have any detailed information about day- to-day operations or decisions at RBW. A recent email to dealers suggested that the SimpleOne would most likely not be happening "this season". Will they be happening in 3 months or 6 months or a year? I have no idea. I don't want anybody to infer anything specific from my comments on the subject.

"Or is it just a limited resources/time-in-the-day sort of thing?" That's my understanding.

Can't blame you for being anxious to put it to work.
