" not being able to get an orange Sam or a green/silver Appaloosa for at
least 648 days "
I read this as those colors might not be available for those models, not
that the models are going away. The Appaloosa was such a swift seller (and
loved by many, including me), I cannot imaging not bring
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

Did you get any hints as to the changes coming to the Atlantis? Is this in

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
Maybe you're like me and you've cycled through some buying and selling, though
you had a hunqapillar and a homer for some reason.

I own two Rivendells , plus my portion of a tandem. I have an 8 year old
Samuel Hillborne and a newish Rosco Bubbe road bike that serves as my daily
commuter. This Mountain Mixte will make three.

Dstein: I think arm length and style of riding matter much in this equation.
I'm a little guy with short arms and everything I ride has the bars level or
higher than the saddle; the last time I rode drops they we're almost comically
jacked up, but it felt great. But - as you addressed - I'm not

I don't get the appeal of the upright mountain mixte. I guess it doesn't
have to be upright, but they usually seem to be setup w/ albatross bars. To
be honest though, I don't see the appeal of upright bars for anything other
Congrats!

Chris asked about my build plans:
Yes, you are right the shelves are stocked. I won't have to buy much of
anything. I may buy an Albatross bar/stem, or I might do a drop bar build.
We'll see.
The drivetrain will be 3x8. XTR rear der. 8sp Shimano barcons. Whatever

I've got a Mtn Mixte from the first batch and my PBH is about 78.
The bike is a great fit so don't think you need to be Roman's size to fit one
well.
I found myself just a tiny bit stretched out with standard Bullmoose bars but
with Albatross and a 9cm stem, the reach is perfect.
I ride it al
Ok. So the Mixtes are the second batch. I'm getting one of them. Originally
they were thinking July for delivery of the frames In any rvent looking
forward to it

I hope the medium mountain mixtes are as big of a hit as the extra large ones
were, and that the success prompts a run of in-between-sized large ones
And that i can afford to jump on it when it happens.
