There's two 67cm Hilsen's on Ebay. It may not be considered a "trail bike" in the context of other bikes Riv sells, but its Country Bike label pegs it for that use, and I used to ride singletrack on a Romulus...arguably a frame less suited for the task. In other words, every Rivendell short of a Roadeo is designed to tackle dirt roads, and those Hilsen's are very nice bikes. Joe Bernard Vallejo, CA.
