(First post!) I'm building one up right now. It's taking a while (or you could say I'm taking my time) b/c I'm also building my fist set of wheels as part of a class at my local co-op. The only in-progress photos I have are from my cluttered basement, but I'll try to take so better ones soon. B

Hi all, My wife had a chance to ride a 46cm Appaloosa this past weekend and loved it. Frames, or completes, that small are hard to find (and it seems that Rivendell might not be making many production models in those sizes anymore.) Dose anyone have any leads on a 46cm Appa, a 45cm Clem H, or
