Re: [RBW] Re: New "budget" Riv in Summer 2013?

[James Warren]

Is the budget Riv of Summer 2013, AKA the less expensive fat tire tourer, the same bike as the stealthy, inexpensive-looking bike for cities that they have talked about.

 

I have gotten the impression that these are two separate models that are on the horizon. The latter I've heard mentioned repeatedly for a while. The former, AKA the less expensive fat tire tourer, is something I don't think I had heard about before last week when the OP mentioned it on this list.

They've been hinting towards this bike for a while, I really can't wait to see some preliminary shots of it! As a college student, this sounds like what I've been waiting for. A true lugged beauty (to the rider), that I can lock on campus without nervously twitching every few moments. Plus, that plush and smooth Riv ride we all love. This is also conveniently timed right after my graduation, so what a great present I can indulge in, and take it with me to Grad school! Great job, Rivendell, I can't wait to see what you come up.

Ride on,

Chris

Ah we all have our wants. I wanted a rivendell with a 59cm non sloping top tube like a 61cm atlantis but in 650b to reduce stand over. Something like a 58cm AHH but with clearance for 60s. I feel I am in custom range there though unfortunately.

Me too on the 54cm and 58 cm 'Hunk' sizing......the 58cm would have been fine in a non up sloping frame but I think more than slightly too tall for me otherwise with bigger tires.

 And maybe  in a size I want to buy, as I'm between sizes on the Hunqapillar, 54 too small for me ( I don't like tall stems and posts) , 58 too big in standover. 

Looking forward to this one.

I was looking at Rivendell's bike picker feature and under the  price range of the San Marcos, Hillborne and Betty Foy, there is a super heavy duty tour bike listed for the Summer of 2013!   I haven't seen this mentioned here or in the blog but it's got me excited!!   I've had my eye on a Hunqapillar for some time but budgetary constraints make it unlikely I'll ever get one.  If RBW comes out with a budget Hunqa, which is what this sounds like, then I will be really interested!
