Re: [RBW] Re: What's the new model going to be in 2025?

[luckyturnip]

The Rivendell Yak, a bike made for climbing stuff whilst carrying large loads. This fits because as Wikipedia says: “Yaks have shaggy, wooly coats, large lungs, and a muscular system that allows them to breathe rapidly at high altitudes. Both sexes have horns that curve upwards from the sides of their heads.” Riv riders like shaggy, wooly outerwear. Riv riders have or wish to have that muscular breathing thing at altitude. Riv bikes are not deliberately gender-specific or whatever.  Liz in Sacramento  On Jan 10, 2025, at 12:19, Ryan <ryter...@mts.net> wrote: Vanna, can I buy a vowel?

My guess is it would likely be whatever the hilly bike replacement is going to be. But thats just a wild stab in the dark. I know Grant wants a kid bike but I think thats an odd market to get into even for one run. Its so easy to get a decent kids bike for next to nothing on the used market. Around here you can barely give away bike shop quality kids bikes.

It would be very interesting to see what direction it would take, maybe something to distinguish it more from the Clem.  But I also suspect Ryan's right and it's a kids bike.  Though that didn't go well the first try I thought?  On Friday, 10 January 2025 at 11:40:00 UTC-8 bmfo...@gmail.com wrote: The yee-olde!!!!!

A. a re-release of the only Rivendell model to start with a Y: the Yves Gomez? B. A Rivendell recreation of the Trek Y-foil bikes in the 1990s? C. A play on the question "Why?" with some new bike that nobody asks for?   D. None of the above I think it's probably none of the above.  The Yves Gomez had two head badges already, one was a kinda boring "YG", and the other was an amazing clockwork gear headbadge that maybe never actually came on a bike.  So it's probably not A.  B is obviously a joke. C is not likely either.  They'd more likely do a "?" than a letter "Y".   What do you think it'll be?  Wrong answers welcome!
