For me, the main appeal of the mountain mixte is that it fits a variety of
riders. With an ~80cm PBH, I'm in between a small and medium on many Riv
models. If I were to go small on a Joe or under 50 on a Hunqapillar, I'd be
too cramped to use swept bars, even with a 130mm stem. But if I were go

I don't know anything specific beyond what's in the Blahg. After the Roadini
there's something new for the Atlantis. I hope it'll have the new ball and

I owned a Homer between 2010 and 2013 or thereabouts. That was becoming my
"serious" brevet bike, and I sold it to help do a full on no-holds-barred
brevet bike build on a Rawland Stag (and that frameset has also moved along)
I have never owned a Hunqapillar. I did own an Appaloosa for a littl

Dstein: I think arm length and style of riding matter much in this equation.
