I'm not sure that mentioning this is a good idea. It seems like it might discourage people from holding off on a purchase, because a "better" bike is coming. Cash flow could drop and then they are in trouble again.
The squished tube idea also seems like a gimmick, resembling what Colnago did. I bought and still own one of those, because I was curious and I could sell the Delta brakes for more than I paid. They are duds, IMO. It feels super heavy for a bike marketed to racers. I'm also not fond of the aero tubes that once seemed popular. At least Grant would make them use a round seatpost. I'd like to see a return of the all-rounder/XO-1 style bike, but it seemed like Handsome struggled with selling their XO-1 tribute bike a few years ago. I might buy one, depending on price, but question if they would sell. Small batches of bikes with 25th anniversary decals seems neat. I asked them if any singlespeed might be coming in the near future and they mentioned there are no plans. I'd be interested in that and am open to any brakes, except for disc. I am probably going to watch for a used Quickbeam to become available and likely buy a new AHH. Those will likely be my last Rivs. I don't know what else I would need.
