I'll be playing the Appaloosa lotto today. Pretty sure I'll be fighting for a purple but, honestly, I love both colors so I'll be happy with either of them. Just not sure if I want a 54 or a 57... On Fri, May 26, 2023 at 10:44 AM Eric Marth wrote: > LOL, Brendon, fourth? > > I knew you had two..

I just ordered a 57cm purple one and will likely do Antonio's build. I'm really excited. I had a purple MB-2 from around 92' that met its fate too early 20 years ago on top of my buddy's roof rack in a low garage... I imagine most of you can 100% relate to obsessing over your next bike. I th

Congrats, Keith and Brian! Looking forward to pics and updates on your builds : ) These sold much faster than I was expecting. It's a great, versatile bike. People love the lugs, tire clearances and the smooth ride: It's like a tub of full-fat whipped cream and a cloud had a baby. On Friday,

I snagged a purple! I've been on the fence about the looong Rivs, and love my 650b conversion Hillborne, but due to the conversion, it's off-road abilities are somewhat hindered by the risk of pedal strike, especially in PA where the trails tend to be very rocky. The Appa has been growing on me,

Just took a look and the Purple is sold out in all sizes. The Lime Olive sold out in 57cm, 4 left of 54cm, 5 of 60cm left, and at least 10 of the two smaller sizes. I had been set on buying an Appaloosa until I saw the update that Homers are coming soon, too. Even though I bought Ed's Roadini,

I'm hoping to get one, have been planning the build for months now. I have a pair of Velo Orange Crazy Bars that I bought for a 90s MTB conversion. That MTB had such a short steer tube I couldn't make it work, but I kept the bars. We'll see if they work for the Appaloosa. I do have a pair of Albatr

I am shocked thats a hot color honestly. I am not a huge fan and Rivendell is set on making every bike in that color at this point. Then again I am not in the market for a new bike right now so it doesn't affect me. :) On Friday, May 26, 2023 at 10:12:49 AM UTC-4 John A. Bennett wrote: > *I'd s
