Kellie, there isn't much precedent for the process this particular bike has been through. Usually there's a prototype, it gets a name, it gets put into production. This "Appaloosa" started as a Mystery Bike which several folks signed up for sight unseen, then was revealed (original name, Rosco Bubbe) as a very long bike with the extra tubes, and no expectation that a front derailer would be fitted. It then went through a long gestation involving much name crunching; the extra rear stays developing the moniker 'tentaculer' (my claim to fame: I brought up tentacles first, then Grant named them); and a front derailer appearing. Now we have Appaloosa, and several versions of the bike have been built. We await further developments. Joe "anyone correct me if I have any of this wrong" Bernard Vallejo, CA.
