Keven told me that we'll have a few decisions to make between now and delivery,
and that GP might spill a few details, but I didn't get the sense that there's
going to be a Big Reveal now that all HS's are spoken for.

Interesting. I wonder why the Kevlar drive would be so much more prone to
failure than the Kevlar drive belt on my 1400cc motorcycle, which has never
failed or had a problem? Different Kevlar?

Retro-direct, anyone?
My guess is that he means it when the HS will be a more "elegant", maybe a
more "integrated" design. It may be less of a bike meant to be widely
adaptable to different configurations, as many Rivendell designs are. But it
won't be a single-purpose bike at all.

Not a chance, I'd say. Pedersens have to be fitted to the individual,
no way you're going to get a decent range of sizes with 3 frames.

If I ponied up $4300 for a Rivendell and got a Pedersen type bike, I'd
be furious. Too weird, I wouldn't want it, and there's no way I'd
recover anything close to my money if I tried to sell it. And I

I don't think I'd go so far as whacky, but I must admit that a handle would be
completely unnecessary. I've toted many bikes around for many years without a
handle, and it's worked fine so far.

If you can solve the common problem of front derailleur angle on small

True. I'm guessing that nothing is impossible, and the statement "you can't use
a front derailleur on this bike" probably means that the design of the bike
precludes the use of a front derailleur, but someone who has a will would find
a way, and in this case, that way would be to get a bolt-on

There used to be plenty of bolt-on derailleur hangers on Bike Bo
Lack of cable stop wouldn't make it impossible. Clamps available. I use a front
shifter on my QB.
Lack of rear derailleur hanger is the only thing I can think of.

HS must stand for "hub shift". The big clue for me is the statement that you
can't use more than one chainring on it. At first I thought, "what, you can't
clamp on a front derailleur?" But once "hub shift" was suggested, I realized
that a hub shift with no rear derailleur hanger would make it h

So, presumably, you are also getting two paint jobs in one, as when it gets

Oh, please don't let Rivendell get too weird. What's next, lugged
