Has anyone tried one yet? Whadd'ya think?
The on-line page says it must be used with the special Nitto F15 rack, which
mounts to the handlebar. Anybody see why? Why can't it be used with a
decaleur and a little front bag rack, like a TA, Berthoud, or Nitto?

That's been my thinking, too. I guess the underlying question is whether
Grant is prone to hyperbole, since I don't really follow Riv too closely.
It's either an amazing statement, an incomplete statement (as you suggest),
or sales fluffle (e.g, hyperbole).

I don¹t think it¹s a scam; I bought my plans from JS that way. But even my

I don't think there is anything inherently special about the mounting

decaleur and front rack. I'm still waiting on the F-15 Nitto rack so

Data loooka berry nice!! Now I'm beginning to re-think my decision to

I like that Rivendell doesn't try to tightly constrain their bikes to
specific categories like "mountain bike". But, yes, given the fat tire
clearance and sturdy construction, "mountain bike" is one possible use
for the Hunqapillar. I'm sure some will set them up for road touring,
