>From the most recent Blahg:
*"Hodges B. Gallop didn't get back to me about the bike name thing, and 
I've since discovered that he died in 2017. This HBG thing is about a name 
for a new bike that'll happen in about a year."*

So what do you think it'll be - or, more accurately, what do you selfishly 
hope it'll be? I'm both hoping and tentatively suspecting that it'll be a 
sort of Roadini Plus, a sort of successor to the Legolas and Hillborne at 
the $900-1000 less-lugged pricepoint. My one complaint with this Roadini is 
that I feel like the gravel doubletrack (the Baton Rouge-New Orleans 
section of the Mississippi River Trail) I like to ride is on the outer edge 
of its intended use case. No durability concerns but a little more 
clearance for a fender with 32s wouldn't hurt. Something that's perceived 
as a nicer alternative to the Surly Crosscheck would do great things for 
the company too, I think. I know a lot of people who love the idea of 
Rivendell but they just don't have $1500 to drop on an AHH to get road-like 
geometry and country-bike clearance at the same time.

Your thoughts?
