Re: [RBW] Re: Gus and Susie ride off into the sunset

The original plan was there would be two price points for both models, fillet and TIG. Then the TIGs didn't happen and the fillets got pricier and I think they lost interest in the whole thing. My guess is Grant/Riv got tired of fighting the "those fat tires are hard to use with v-brakes" argum
