I do think that seeing images of these frames, onscreen, without context of parts or application, can be really jarring. I'm lucky enough to live close enough to RBWHQ&L to visit occasionally (and fortunate enough to live far enough away to keep _some_ of my discretionary income...), but it has been interesting to handle the prototype Hunquapillars and see how this frame has evolved. When you get to see the Hunqua on the showroom floor next to the Roadeo, Atlantis, Hillborne, Hilsen and Bombadil, it does seem to make a lot more sense. It the Hunquapillar were the only frame Rivendell produced, that would be one thing, but when you see them all together, it stands as a reminder that they are all Rivendells at the core, with a wide variety of versatile expressions. - Jim -- Jim Edgar cyclofi...@earthlink.net Cyclofiend Bicycle Photo Galleries - http://www.cyclofiend.com Current Classics - Cross Bikes Singlespeed - Working Bikes "You must be the change you want to see in the world."
