Wow! I like this idea, especially since it would be different from
other Rivendells and other bikes. I hope they do it. I wonder if
they'll do the same for the smaller sizes.

Looks like most of the damage in Mexicali (got the blues). That's just

I don't think anyone should or would fault you for not wanting to
follow through on buying a bike that changed into something you don't
like.
Personally, the only thing you said that I thought was a bit unfair
was the statement that the bike seemed like a 'half-hearted copy' of
another bike.
I don't like it. I view the functionality of any bike that I can't
throw over my shoulder and run with, or climb up and down stairs
easily, as pretty limited. This has a direct correlation with the
places I go and where I live though.
