You're a brave man. I will now elaborate on why I like this new Bombadil, and not just because Grant has told us that we don't need to tell him we like it; but because my first message didn't say much. First of all, the fork is perfect. Even a Long Haul Trucker would be a thing of beauty if it had that fork attached to it. Whoever is responsible for specifying or fabricating the bend of that fork deserves a beer. Second, of all the bikes in the world, this may be the only one that conceptually ought to have that decorative Hetchins-y curly downtube extension. Because of the Bombadil's Anglophile heritage, and because of its robust baroque uniqueness, and because it proudly has every braze-on and every feature, including an extra diagatube. I perceive this new Bombadil, purely based on its image in this grainy PDF alone, as the next great bike in the heritage of Rivendell production framesets, following in the path of the Atlantis, Rambouillet, and Quickbeam. I bet it won't shimmy. James Black -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
