I thought Grant had made several definitive statements that it would be a production bike in the next year or so. I may be wrong, though. On Thursday, September 19, 2013 12:50:50 PM UTC-5, Pudge wrote: Grant told me more than a year ago that he’d really like to do a production run of

Grant told me more than a year ago that he’d really like to do a production run of these bikes. That it actually got a name suggests that’s still a possibility, I would think. From: rbw-owners-bunch@googlegroups.com [mailto:rbw-owners-bunch@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Tom Virgil Sent:

Good to hear. Maybe, just maybe. The curve of the tubing from the Diagibar to the seat stay is what makes it interesting. Looks like it has a near cargo bike wheelbase. Tom On Thursday, September 19, 2013 10:50:50 AM UTC-7, Pudge wrote: Grant told me more than a year ago that he’d really

On Keven's, there is a bit added on to the downtube shifter cable boss that doubles the right cable stop--to accommodate a cable stop for the fd, it appears. Anyone know what this part is? Also, is an Appaloosa production run in the works? • Perry On Tuesday, September 17, 2013 1:54:39 PM
