when Rivendell first started and was offering the Road, Allrounder and
Mountain that were all built by Waterford with numerous options. Riv
initially was supposed to offer purposely, proprietary lugset for the

I'm with Andrew. I looked at the fork crown for a few minutes and that is
the thing that jumped out to my eyes the most. However, once the fork
blades are in place wouldn't that significantly reinforce that area???

Both and then some. When Riv launched the Bombadil then later the Hunq, I
recall some GP articles about the late '80s, earl '90s MTBs that have since
been drafted into all sorts of uses. He wanted to
You might be better off buying the Hunq soon; enjoy it for a year or two;
then sell for a new Riv. There's no telling how far off the bike with this
crown is, and it should be noted that the much ballyhooed Mystery Bike
never became a production model.

Just call RBW to find out what is going on. Then you can decide if you want the
Hunq or if you wanna wait.

If memory serves CoMotion did the final bike w/ tandem tubes for that bike.
This crown could be used on multiple projects, but would make a lot of
sense for both a rough stuff tall bike a tandem. I suppose we'll have to
wait for G to enlighten us, though.

What is the minor flaw that will send the crown back for redesign?
To my eyes, it's the minimal material between the two louvres, at the point
where they just barely overlap. In-line vertically when viewed from the
front, and also in-line with the threaded hole at the top. A larger web of

I do love that fork crown. Maybe Riv'll make 'em available, and I could put
it on my Hunqapillar.

This is great entertainment , every time Riv releases an photo of an
object . silly season ensues ! It's just a fork crown after all :-)
60mm clearance is the same as the Clems . it's pretty clear that this
clearance will be the standard clearance for future frames intended
60 mm clearance still isn't enough for a 60 mm Super Moto, quite possibly
the dreamiest all-rounder tire.
If it is a tandem, will they use the same seat lug as the Clem, and
therefore the curved chainstays?

They could use it on the Clem now that it's cast for, I assume the same
price as a hunq crown, but it wouldn't have saved them money to get the
tooling molds made in the first place. Far cheaper to use a crown they
already had.
On Thursday, July 9, 2015 at 3:39:38 PM UTC-4, Christopher
What about the possibility that this is the new Clem fork? Wouldn't this be
cheaper/ easier to make? The sockets remind me of the Clem seat tube lug and
hark back to the Heron seat cluster. Is this a stretch?
Oh, and I love it!!!
Cheers!

Thinking harder for Bill brought to mind an old Reader story about a man for

Maybe this crown goes that way? Maybe that's Buffalo talk?

It is hard to imagine that there would be a model more heavy duty than the
Hunqapillar and Bombadil. If heavy duty is what you want, now is the time!

we've gotta be at least a few years away from whatever this is, right?
unless they are adding this to the joe appaloosa, which i assume is next on
the docket since they have a prototype and are phasing out the hillborne.
at any rate, a hunqapillar is never a regrettable decision.

Is it hard to imagine? Think harder. A theoretical Riv model that would
need to be more heavy duty than a Hunqapilar or a Bombadil. One that has
been mentioned in passing from time to time in the BLUG, in a maybe we'll
do that someday kind of way. I don't think it's hard at all to imagine.
That's the challenge, isn't it? The current thing is so good, and you want
to act before the current thing is no longer available. But the next thing
might be irresistable, too! But then you don't buy the current thing and
then when the next thing isn't what you want, then you are left with

That's what I've been thinking. Imagine a Clem-ish tandem. Something that
is as fun and smile-making and laid back and country-ish as a Clem, but as
nice and stout as functional as a Rivendell, but is a tandem. That bike
flat-out does not exist and never has existed. Ever.

FYI. I wear a 7-3/4 fitted baseball cap. I usually run a Riv cycling cap
under a helmet and the latest RBW caps from Pace are close to being too
big. So maybe your Crenshaw Melon can fit in there?
