Yes and no. As Marty's timeline says, the Saluki predated the A. Homer Hilsen by a couple of years. It was introduced specifically as a 650b production bike (one of the first in the 650b rebirth) and came in a full size run up to 62cm, IIRC, all with 650b wheels, and some with cantilever post

Oh I see where Appaloosa gets a little wonky. IIRC that name was originally attached to the Mystery Bike which never became a production model, then transferred to the one we can buy today. I bought a first-gen light blue joe in June 2016, and I believe the bike had been around since mid-to-late

Latest (not last) bunch-sourced version here. Including BLUG entries as far as I've dug so far. The type spacing may be wonky but once we lock this in maybe it can become a file of some kind that we attach to Reed's Reader Archive. Many bike models were discussed across several Readers, so I'm

I would say 2000 for the Atlantis, at least in terms of delivery. I ordered mine in the summer of that year, and I was working at Rivendell by the time the first batch of 100 was delivered. Grant helped me build mine up after work on December 26, 2000. I still have it. I am down with (and for)

It's a *head-badge* poster that Marty makes. Maybe you could design and create a "Same Exact or similar Rivendell Bicycles" poster and offer it to the list. It might be a hit with folks who really want to be picky!;^) On Wednesday, September 19, 2018 at 1:02:52 AM UTC-4, Benz, Sunnyvale, CA wr

If it has a unique name and head-badge, I consider it a unique model. While I understand that some bikes are similar to others, even identical other than size or color, they all involve development, marketing, inventory, logistics and risk. Some bikes certainly involved more development than oth

If you want to be picky, the Wilbury and Glorius are the same exact bike except for paint and decal/headbadge. Same with the Betty Foy and Yves Gomez. If you really want to be picky, the A Homer Hilsen is just a bigger Saluki. In fact, if I remember correctly, Rivendell was selling the smaller s
