"It's a 62cm and I'm hoping for a parallel top-tube as opposed to the other."
Is this on the table for discussion with Rivendell? I know I felt gut-punched when I fell for the first grey/red and grey/ orange prototype photos and then that proto got the rug pulled out from under it. Luckily (if you are very desperately looking for a silver lining), my finances took a reversal and it was made a moot question. The Bombadil complete diagonal seems very right, but, well...I don't want to be run off this forum after one of my first posts by dissenting on the Diagopillar ;^) I did see a beautiful parallel tubed Sam Hillborne at Riv HQ the other day. If it accepted bigger tires, slightly different geometry and was otherwise Hunqa-like...
