Full disclosure, I have a Hunqa, Hilsen, and Appa (wife's). My unaskedfor
opinion:
Keepers:
- New Light Road/Gravel/Cross - fits wide tires (50s), light riders
(thinner tubing), and replaces Roadeo, Hilsen, Legolas. Keeps a 2 degree
top tube for those who like the classic geometry, and comes it in lots of
sizes to please fit purists and drop bar users who want a 10-12cm stem.
- Appaloosa - can replace Sam, Atlantis, Hunqa, Bomba as heavy duty
mtb/tourer/bikepacker - has 6 degree slope, and less sizes to keep in
stock. Add diagatube to keep that in the lineup, or just rebadge Hunqa and
emulate wheelsize/chainstays. Drop the Joe. Appaloosa is cool on its own.
Also fulfills the "animal" riv like the Saluki, and Hunqa (mammoth)
- Clem(entine) - keep the budget, lowest cost to get a Riv bike
- Cheviot/Foy - unique offering - also believe this was a big hit.
Discard, modify, or make custom:
- Roadeo
- Hillborne
- Atlantis
- Hunqa
- Hilsen
- Hubbuhubbuh
- Rosco
I love all the bikes in the discard, but also loved all the bikes that have
already gone to pasture. They will always be available on the used (or
custom) market as they last forever.
