That's a pretty all-star line-up of all-around bike options for a

The Legolas is a once-a-year run. This year, we didn't do it because
there was only (I think) one on pre-order.
It's a specialized machine, and we will make it again, providing there
is enough interest to warrant a run.
We put our dough into the Sams, Bettys, and Quickbeams this Spring.
Cheers,
so, are they still being sold?

wonder

i would guess a mixture of weight and strength considerations, the
advantages of which are apparent for a full-on racing bicycle.

I'm new to the Rivendell line of bikes, so thanks for your summary.
Can you elaborate on the Legolas? I don't see many of these around
and not much information seems to be available.
Thanks.

You're right, it does. And brake type is key to AHH. But accepting
that the all-rounder theme prevails, user tire width is

Similar, yes; but different enough to cause much hand-wringing and
consternation among Rambouillet fans when that model was discontinued.

Also: The Bleriot (discontinued) was a made in Taiwan, budget version
of the Saluki, which was one of the early RBW 650B models. The line
between the Saluki and the AHH is a little blurry. I seem to recall
that the AHH was initially the same as the Saluki, but available in
larger sizes and with 70
I'm sure here are several differences, but the most significant is
that AHH was built around the new XL reach Tektro 556 brakes. Fits
bigger tires.
