I may have a good memory for weird little things which leads to 1,000 words, but Addison's pictures really tell the All Rounder story. Awesome:
http://reno-rambler.blogspot.com/2013/01/rivendell-allrounder-jack-of-all.html?q=allrounder And as to the OP's question about which current models are closest to the All Rounder, here are pictures of my own Hillborne and Atlantis answering that question. Those two models are closest to the AR even though the current Hillborne has sidepulls. The canti-Hillbornes were very similar to an Atlantis - just a little bit less clearance. My sidepull one still fits 700x43 no problem, probably with no room for a fender: http://www.flickr.com/photos/46035786@N07/sets/72157625850005210/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/46035786@N07/7587346416/in/set-72157630614961962 On Jan 19, 2014, at 7:27 AM, Addison Wilhite wrote: > I like the nicely written history of the AR.
